In this episode of Wine x Web3, host Jana Kreilein is joined by David Garrett, co-founder of dVIN Labs, and Matt Bartlett, Head of Web3 at VanEck. The trio explores the evolving landscape of tokenized fine wine, examining how real-world assets like Egon Müller bottles are fractionalized and made accessible through Segment, VanEck’s NFT marketplace. They discuss the unique value of wine as a culturally rich and scarce asset, and how tokenization is transforming wine from a collectible to a tradable asset. The conversation also highlights the Cellar Challenge, the upcoming VIN Coin launch on Solana, and how these innovations are reshaping wine investment and ownership.
