Are WineCap and Westgarth Wines associated?

Yes – WineCap and Westgarth Wines are part of the same group, founded and led by Alexander Westgarth, though each serves a different purpose and a different kind of buyer.

WineCap is the investment side: it builds and manages portfolios of fine wine bought as an asset, held under bond, tracked through Wine Track, and eventually sold. Westgarth Wines is the merchant side, sourcing wine for collectors who are buying to drink rather than to hold as an investment. If you're weighing whether to invest through WineCap or buy specific bottles to enjoy, that's broadly the line between the two businesses.

Being part of the same group means shared expertise in sourcing and assessing wine, but the two operate as distinct services with different aims – WineCap's process is built around investment-grade selection and long-term holding (see what makes a wine investment-grade), while Westgarth Wines is oriented around what collectors want in the glass.

If your interest is in wine as an investment, WineCap's how it works covers the full process. If you're looking to buy wine to drink, Westgarth Wines is the better starting point.
