Bottles, Blockchains & Bacchus: What We're Sipping This Week
This week at dVIN Labs (🍷,⛓️)
🌴 Back from Dubai
Just landed back from Token2049 and still processing all the energy, insights, and espresso shots. Dubai brought the heat — literally and figuratively. The events were packed, the alpha was flowing, and the conversations around RWAs and on-chain infrastructure were louder than ever.
🎧 Wine x Web3 with Jana — New Episode Drop
In this week’s Wine x Web3, I intro a sharp convo between Dave and Dara Albright that dives deep into how blockchain is tackling wine’s biggest inefficiencies — from fraud and provenance to data and distribution.
It’s one of those episodes where the lightbulbs just keep going off — especially if you care about making wine a smarter, more secure asset class.
Wine x Web3 = Industry Efficiency
In this episode of Wine x Web3, host Jana Kreilein introduces a special session recorded during a special webinar, featuring her dVIN Labs co-founder David Garrett and hosted by Dara Albright. David breaks down how blockchain technology is addressing long-standing inefficiencies in the wine industry.
🔐 The Wine Authentication Crisis
Wine fraud is a $70B problem — and until now, the industry has simply learned to live with it.
This week, we’re shining a light on how our Digital Cork™ technology changes that. Our latest article breaks down how tokenization and blockchain finally enable tamper-proof provenance, end-to-end custody tracking, and real-time verification — all without disrupting the traditions that make wine so special.
For winemakers, collectors, merchants, and investors, this is about restoring trust in the authenticity that underpins the value of fine wine.

🍇 Wine Wednesday — Chardonnay Edition
We’re back this week with a new Wine Wednesday — and we’re going full Chardonnay.
Dave and I will unpack why this grape is one of the most divisive in the game — and why that’s exactly what makes it so great. From crisp Chablis to creamy Napa and a few unexpected curveballs in between, we’ll be talking style, structure, and sipping strategies.
Bring a glass (or bottle) and join the conversation.
