Why We Built Bacchus AI—and What Its New Beta Means for Wine as an RWA

📌 TL;DR – Episode Summary

Bacchus AI started as a backend tool to help automate dVIN’s Digital Corkcreation process—mapping, cleaning, and structuring wine data so that bottles could be reliably tokenized. But wine data is notoriously messy: producers, vintages, formats, and labels are listed in wildly inconsistent ways across different platforms. Bacchus was designed to bring order to that chaos—built on top of a rich, proprietary dataset curated by dVIN’s global team of sommeliers and market experts. Their ongoing input has helped solidify dVIN’s position as a leader in structured wine intelligence and token-ready data.

Now, it’s evolved into a powerful strategist for wine investing.

In this episode, Jana is joined by dVIN Labs engineer Adnane El Mansouriand advisor Paul Hammond to break down the latest beta features of Bacchus AI: the Wine List Analyzer and the Portfolio Optimizer.

These tools are built to help collectors, sommeliers, and investors make sharper decisions in a $1T asset class:

  • The Wine List Analyzer scans restaurant wine lists in seconds—flagging standout producers, top vintages, and undervalued bottles with immediate context and pricing insight.

  • The Portfolio Optimizer analyzes user-submitted digital cellars—showing what’s aging out, what’s gaining value, and what to drink, sell, or reinvest in based on market trends, vintage dynamics, and personal preferences.

This is just the beginning. Bacchus is on a path to becoming a fully autonomous agent—able to monitor markets, manage wine portfolios, and eventually trade tokenized assets on your behalf.

If you're thinking about wine as more than just something to drink, this episode is a glimpse into what’s coming next.
