Wineify CEO Callum Woodcock on Quant Fine Wine Investing
Wineify CEO Callum Woodcock explains the platform's syndicate structure that opens fine wine investing from £3,000, wine's CGT exemption, and how its machine-learning pricing models became a USP almost by accident. He covers passion assets and tokenization, tells the story of an investor's never-opened £45,000 bottle of Romanée-Conti, and discusses the wine market's recovery after a 33-month bear market plus the shift from LinkedIn-driven inbound to paid ads.

Callum Woodcock on Wineify and Fine Wine Investing
Callum Woodcock, CEO of Wineify, joins to explain the platform's syndicate structure for co-investing in fine wine from £3,000, its CGT-exempt advantage, and its ML models for scoring wines and setting purchase prices. He shares the origin story of building data models 'out of insecurity', the DRC Romani-Conti anecdote about a collector who never found an occasion to open a £45K bottle, the post-COVID wine bear market and nascent recovery, and the shift from LinkedIn-led inbound growth to paid marketing as they hire a head of growth. He also discusses tokenization and the coming 'stock market of everything'.
