We're building the world's first quantitative fine wine investment firm.
Fine wine is a fascinating asset class, but investing has remained opaque, expensive and inaccessible.
WineFi’s syndicate model lets you co-invest in carefully selected wines, giving you direct ownership at a fraction of the cost of buying the bottles outright.
How it works
01
Invest through wine syndicates, not funds
Each syndicate gives you direct fractional ownership of carefully selected wines — no blind pool, no management as a whole.
02
We take care of all the logistics so you don’t have to
We transport, store and insure your assets, and report on their performance over time.
03
Your share, your return
When a syndicate’s wines are sold, we handle the sale process on your behalf and distribute proceeds pro rata to each investor.
Our awards
Track the estimated value of your wine collection on our platform using objective third-party valuations.

What is WineFi?
WineFi provides solutions for investors seeking seamless and cost-effective exposure to fine wine as an asset class.
How are the wines selected?
We combine cutting-edge quantitative analysis with the expertise of our Investment Committee to identify opportunities that may be included in syndicates. Our analysis factors in multiple datapoints such as critic scores, aging potential, vintage, market trends, and price history — giving members the insights they need before deciding whether to participate.
Where do you store the assets?
We securely store the asset ‘in-bond’ at Coterie Vaults; a UK government approved, condition-controlled warehouse.
What investment solutions do you offer?
We offer access to diversified, expertly-curated portfolios of wine from as little as £3,000. We can also build private collections of investment-grade wine for individual investors looking to own their portfolio outright.
How does WineFi make money?
We charge a flat administration fee of 12.5% (equivalent to 2.5% a year) that also covers the management, storage, insurance and brokerage of the wines for five years. If the wines are held for longer than that, additional storage and insurance fees are deducted “at cost” from the sales price of the assets. There are no hidden fees.
