Smoothing time series data is a lot like aging wine—you want to remove the rough edges, but not lose the character. Raw time series data can be messy—filled with short-term fluctuations that obscure the underlying trend. At WineFi 🍷, where we analyse financial and market data, smoothing techniques help us refine the signal without erasing the valuable details. Whether it’s a rolling average, a z-score filter, or a more advanced method, the goal is the same: keep the essential flavours while filtering out the noise. Curious—what’s your go-to method for smoothing time series data? And how do you balance preserving trends vs. over-smoothing? — Follow the journey over at WineFi 🍷

A not so healthy -11.5% annualised returns. What would have been the very the worst wine to invest in over the last 10 years? If the name wasn’t bad enough the returns certainly were... Chateau L’If - which is technically not a chateau according to Wine-Searcher - has fallen like a stone over the last decade. According to Liv-ex market prices, the 2016 vintage fell from £264 per bottle to an astounding £88 in 2025. But why? This is a story of much more than the floundering Bordeaux market. Early excitement and scarcity drove L’If’s prices to ambitious levels but a combination of supply and demand factors have worked against secondary market prices: - Initial Hype: Established in 2011 by Jacques Thienpont and owned by the Thienpont - the family that own Le Pin - the project caused early buzz as a potential “Le Pin of St‑Émilion”. - Production levels under 1,000 cases/year the “Le Pin of St‑Émilion” started life with a premium pricing. - Critics reviewed early vintages highly which drove a fair amount speculative buying and flipping. Then came the problems:  - Mixed critic reviews, the 2012 vintage for example received varied scores, 98 points from James Suckling versus 91 from Neal Martin and 16.5/20 from Jancis Robinson’s team. - Top vintages contrasted hugely in review to the lesser vintages. A sign that the vineyard wasn’t proving so robust to hard growing seasons. - Increased production levels… expansion efforts on the 8-hectare estate and broader distribution led to greater market availability, reducing the exclusive appeal and hype that once pushed prices up. So less demand, more supply, over-speculation and a market dip for the cherry on top. Never has the following disclaimer felt more apt. ⚠️ Wine is an unregulated asset class.
