WineFi operates a data-driven platform that gives investors access to fractionalised, expertly curated fine wine portfolios, with minimum investments starting at £3,000. The platform enables co-investing in diversified wine portfolios and aims to bring transparency and standardized data to a market traditionally served by merchants. WineFi has partnered with digital asset platform Lympid to offer fractionalised wine investments and to leverage blockchain technology to improve transparency and liquidity. The company targets high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and funds seeking alternative assets amid market volatility. Founders Oliver Thorpe and Callum Woodcock bring asset-management experience from Fidelity International and J.P. Morgan, respectively. The recent strategic investment and board appointment by Coterie Holdings is expected to provide industry expertise and infrastructure support. Winefi is building a next-generation wine investment marketplace that combines technology, curation, and educational resources to make investing in fine wine accessible to a broader audience. The platform offers access to expertly curated collections of investment-grade wine and tools for constructing portfolios tailored to users' preferences. Winefi positions itself as a fintech solution to mainstream alternative assets and aims to simplify wine investment to the ease of trading on retail platforms. The company plans to use the recent funding to enhance platform features, expand market reach, and scale operations. Winefi is led by founder and CEO Callum Woodcock and is backed by SFC Capital and other industry angels. The company is based in London, United Kingdom.
