WineFi is a London-based company specializing in fine wine investment.[1][2]

WineFi utilises a syndicate model to allow investors to co-invest in portfolios of fine wine, as well as offering private wine portfolios. It also uses real-time pricing data and financial algorithms to identify wines with strong growth potential.[2]

History

WineFi was founded in May 2023 as a platform for people to co-invest in curated portfolios of fine wine.[2][3] It was founded by current chief executive Callum Woodcock and Operations Director Oliver Thorpe.[2][4][4]

In November 2023, WineFi received support from SFC Capital, Founders Capital, and various others associated with companies such as BlackRock and JP Morgan.[5]

In November 2024, WineFi partnered with Lympid to create a tokenized platform which enables fine wine investment through fractional ownership. The collaboration allows clients to access and trade shares in high-value wine assets.[6]

WineFi also secured £1.5 million ($2 million) from Coterie Holdings, SFC Capital, Founders Capital, and various investors in June 2025.[2]

In July 2025, WineFi launched a fine wine investment syndicate in partnership with wine merchant Lay & Wheeler.[7]
