Competition

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Due to a fire in the engine room of the sister ship of the Azamara Journey, Azamara Club Cruises (the cruise operator) have been forced to reschedule some of their summer 2011 itinerary. Consequently, the competition cruise will now sail at a revised date (TBC) in 2013. You are still very welcome to still enter the competition. We will advise all entrants as to the new date of sailing as soon as it is confirmed.

Enter your details below for your chance to win a fabulous wine cruise for two worth £5,600 with your hosts from Albany Portfolio Management and TV wine expert Jilly Goolden.

Sailing from Southampton to Lisbon, you will visit some of Europe's most historic wine-making regions (including, of course, Bordeaux), sample some of the world's finest wines whilst relaxing in the lap of luxury and visit some truly great châteaux. Bacchanalian heaven! Click here to view full details of the cruise.

Please note: the cruise sails on 9th August 2012 with flights returning from Lisbon on 20th August, so you must be available for travel on these dates. Entries must be received by midnight on 29th June and will be picked at random on 30th June. The winner will be notified by telephone.

Best of luck!

I was utterly thrilled to receive £13,000 into my account this month, having invested £5,175 with Albany less than a year ago.

I have recommended Albany Portfolio Management to many of my friends and that is testimony in itself as I do not do that lightly. I will continue to highly recommend them as I found them to be honest and hard working with a cutting professional edge sadly lacking elsewhere in the industry

I have found dealing with APM to be hassle-free, offering time and sound advice to the wine novice which I certainly am. The recent invitation to lunch at Brooklands [APM's storage facility] was a real treat...

E Przygrodzki

...It is good to be able to put faces to the names of those we are dealing with and very interesting to be able to visit the 'caves' where our wine is stored. It was also rewarding to meet some of the fellow investors. A real cross section of people from all walks of life.

I discovered Albany Portfolio through a favourable article in Moneyweek. From the outset the team have been most helpful in advising me in this new area of investment for me...

B Glass

...I am regularly kept up to date by regular emails and when there is especially interesting propostion by phone. I am delighted with the performance of the portfolio that I have built up in the last eighteen months and look forward to developing it further.

I have always been interested in wine mainly as a drinker, but also interested in its history, so after some very good detail from Albany I invested in Chateau Latour. I received a very nice certificate with all of my details on it and all of the relevant numbers. In that time, 2 years my investment has doubled which I am very pleased about

D Ricciardi

It is always a pleasure dealing with APM. All its staff are very helpful, polite and knowledgeable and offer advice in a balanced manner. It is easy to trade (selling as well as buying!) and James and David are always happy to chat about my portfolio...

P Aley

... Customer care is excellent. The latest and best wines are usually available with reasoned advice about why and when to purchase and at competitive prices. Thank you and well done APM!

P Aley

All of the APM team are highly professional and knowledgeable without a hint of the hard sell we have encountered elsewhere.

I McKinnes

I have been impressed by the advice received from my advisers in Albany Wine who combine a "gently gently" approach with professional fine wine expertise which has been very much appreciated. I would recommend them to other wine investors.

A Fishleigh

I was recommended APM by a friend and have now passed on my recommendations to my own friends as the number one company to use if you wish to invest in wine. The company has a sound backing offering the confidence an investor needs.
