Alpha in the Market, Bubbles in the Glass

This week at dVIN Labs (🍷,⛓️)

From Trading Floors to Cellars: The Quant Invasion

What happens when Wall Street meets Bordeaux? This week, we explore how algorithmic traders are eyeing fine wine as their next millisecond market. With Bacchus AI acting as the Bloomberg Terminal for wine, the industry is shifting from gut calls and dusty ledgers to data-driven arbitrage opportunities.

It’s not just about collectors finding alpha—it’s about reshaping wine as a liquid, transparent, and truly global asset class.

✨ Wine Wednesday is back… and it’s all about Champagne! 🥂

This week I’m joined by Garth Hodgdon (@garth_hodgdon)—Champagne evangelist, founder of Champagne Happy Hour, and former U.S. Ambassador for Champagne Krug. On his feed, you'll find rare grower Champagnes, vineyard snapshots, and a contagious excitement for bubbles—perfect for those who believe every day deserves a pop and pour.

Garth spent years as head sommelier at The French Laundry, Per Se, and Bouchon Bistro. His credentials include being named one of Wine & Spirits magazine’s “Best New Sommeliers in America” in 2010. Champagne Happy Hour is his passion project—think micro-produced, grower Champagnes shipped monthly to curious drinkers across the U.S.

We’ll pop bottles, share stories, and let Bacchus AI weigh in on Champagne’s market mojo.
