4. And the bar ... (see next point).

Why a bar?

Based on our careful observations, people today are living in a hybrid world, where digital tools enhance real life needs. But when looking at today's offerings, it's either pure online platforms or traditional wine merchants with a small/traditional street shop. And that shop experience is not very pleasant when it comes to larger social togetherness, a background music concept, tasting any kind of wine, or spending hours just hanging out -- or even doing business. A bar can offer all that.

In which markets Vinfinity intends to operate?

Vinfinity will first operate in Switzerland to pilot its entire offering, including popup bar. As next market the UK is on the agenda, as one of the biggest wine importing and wine investing markets. Afterwards countries in continential Europe (France, Germany, Italy, Spain) are planned, but as well Middle East (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) and South-East Asia (Singapore).

What is the problem of today's market?

Today’s premium wine market is outdated, snobby and discriminating.

Murky arrogant language is mostly used by its players. Additionally, it's kind of digital neverland when it comes to their digital tools offered. Moreover still very high entry barriers and they keep many secrets to themselves. In consequence it's not made for modern consumer, it has fragmented, opaque offerings, and is reserved for the wealthy and experts.

In a nutshell, the premium market hasn’t caught up with technological and societal shifts — therefore is ready to be reshaped.

What are the growth prospects of the global wine market?

The world-wide wine consumption is projected to grow by 25% over the next 5 years. The business with wine experiences (travel and hospitality) is projected to grow by 50% over the next 5 years. And the business with wine investments is projected to grow by 30% over the next 5 years.

In any dimension, the global wine market and associated services are huge, growing, and wine drinkers represent a vast addressable market.

What will be your marketing approach?

Bridging physical with digital experiences enables a highly differentiating market appearance. A stunning community building marketing combined with a mind-blowing touchpoint experience will be at the center of the marketing approach. Using latest digital marketing techniques will propel the brand and offering as digital marketing efforts are proven to be the best when it comes to growth, due to high reach in all countries, huge variety of targeting options, and efficient and affordable inventory.

What is your pricing structure?

For eCommerce, we offer market aligned prices for the wine purchases on our platform. The prices in the bar will be as well market-aligned. For specific events we will charge an appropriate fee for our special services. And for wine investments we charge a 3% fee for managing the collection. Altogether, this gives Vinfinity a diversifed revenue mix.
