Answering your questions in order;
1) Yes
2) Only the Great Karmak could tell you
3) If you buy wine as an investment you need to buy more than one bottle and make sure you can provide outstanding provenance to the buyer. 99 is a nice bottle and should make for a great drink in 5 years provided it's stored properly. WW

As bad as it is and has been recently, you would be far, far better off to invest in the stockmarket than in wine. Stocks are a lot easier to move when you want to too.

so, i guess wine's really not an investment?

Not unless you make a career of it (wine investing, not wine selling as you are considering on another thread) and plan to invest huge bucks into the venture; it is not a good idea.

Even when the airconditioning goes out in the safety box area the paper doesn't spoil.
It's easy to be enamored by Wine Spectator articles that show a botique wine such as Screaming Eagle that costs 100 on issue selling for 1500. What the article fails to mention is that you'll be put on a mailing list to obtain maybe 2 bottles in 2060.WW
