Winei
Denmark's marketplace for buying and selling wine between collectors and merchants.
Winei is a Danish wine marketplace where collectors and merchants buy and sell wine with verified users and secure trading. It gives collectors a way to sell bottles from their cellar and lets merchants reach serious buyers.

The problem
- Collectors with a full cellar have few safe places to sell individual bottles.
- General classifieds are full of unverified sellers and have no wine data.
- Small wine merchants struggle to reach collectors online.
The product
A marketplace built only for wine: verified buyers and sellers, listings with vintage and producer details, and secure trading. Merchants list stock alongside private collectors.
- Users verify their identity.
- Collectors and merchants list wines with details and photos.
- Buyers search by producer, region, vintage and price.
- Trades are done safely through the platform.
- Both sides rate each other.
Who pays and why
Business model
| Revenue line | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Sales commission | Planned rate | On completed trades. |
| Merchant plan | Planned | Storefront and bulk listings. |
| Featured listings | Planned | Rare or high-value bottles. |
Market and targets
Denmark has an active wine culture with many collectors and independent merchants, but no dedicated local marketplace for private wine trading. A focused, verified platform fits the trust that wine buyers need.
Targets are planning assumptions.
