Question 1

What is VINTO?

Accepted Answer

VINTO is a smart wine collection management system that combines an IoT sensor monitoring your cellar's temperature and humidity 24/7 with an app tracking real-time market values and portfolio performance. Think of it as Nordnet or Coinbase, but for fine wine.

Question 2

How accurate are VINTO wine prices compared to Vivino?

Accepted Answer

VINTO provides 94% price accuracy by sourcing data from actual wine transactions, not listing prices. Vivino displays what sellers ask for, typically 15–20% above real market value. VINTO's data comes from the world's largest wine trading platform with 25 years of transaction history.

Question 3

What does the VINTO sensor do?

Accepted Answer

The VINTO sensor measures temperature and humidity in real time in any wine storage location. It has a 10-year battery life, connects via WiFi, syncs with the app, sends instant alerts when conditions drift, and generates an official storage certificate for insurance and resale.

Question 4

What temperature should wine be stored at?

Accepted Answer

Wine should be stored at a stable 12–14°C (54–57°F). Fluctuations above 2°C per day accelerate degradation. Humidity should be 60–75% to keep corks from drying out. The VINTO sensor monitors both and alerts you immediately if either drifts out of range.

Question 5

What is the difference between VINTO and Vivino?

Accepted Answer

Vivino is a wine discovery app showing listing prices from shops. VINTO is a portfolio tracker showing actual market value from real transactions, tracking investment returns over time, monitoring cellar conditions with a physical sensor, and generating storage certificates — features Vivino does not offer.

Question 6

How does fine wine investment work?

Accepted Answer

Fine wine from regions like Bordeaux and Burgundy has historically returned 9–14% annually over 20 years. Returns come from scarcity: bottles are consumed or break, so supply shrinks while collector demand grows. VINTO tracks your portfolio's return in real time with live price updates from actual auction and trading data.

Question 7

When does VINTO launch?

Accepted Answer

VINTO launches on Kickstarter on 2026 with a 30-day campaign and a 100,000 DKK goal. Founding members who sign up before launch secure pre-Kickstarter pricing — the lowest VINTO will ever be — and are first in line for app access and sensor delivery.

Question 8

What is the difference between the free waitlist and founding member?

Accepted Answer

The free waitlist gives you a notification when VINTO launches on Kickstarter and a chance to claim Super Early Bird pricing (799 DKK) on a first-come, first-served basis — but no guaranteed spot. Founding members ($5 one-time deposit, fully refundable before launch) get 1-hour early access before the public Kickstarter launch, a guaranteed spot regardless of demand, 50% off sensors and 50% off VINTO Premium permanently, and a permanent founding member badge in the app.

Question 9

What does the VINTO sensor cost?

Accepted Answer

The VINTO sensor retails at 999 DKK. On Kickstarter, Super Early Bird starts at 799 DKK (50 units) and Early Bird at 999 DKK (150 units). Founding members who join before April 1 lock in 50% off the sensor price.

Question 10

What does the VINTO app cost?

Accepted Answer

VINTO is freemium. The free tier lets you track your collection and see basic market prices. VINTO Premium (49–69 DKK/month) adds live price updates, portfolio analytics, performance benchmarks, drink-window alerts, and storage certificates. Founding members get 50% off Premium permanently.

Question 11

Which phones does VINTO work with?

Accepted Answer

VINTO is available on iOS and Android. The app is in beta with 147 active collectors and a 4.9-star rating. It will be publicly available on the App Store and Google Play at Kickstarter launch on 2026.

Question 12

How long does the VINTO sensor battery last?

Accepted Answer

The VINTO sensor has a 10-year battery life under typical use. It connects to WiFi and syncs automatically — no manual data entry needed. You receive a low-battery notification in the app well before replacement is needed.

Question 13

Does VINTO work without the sensor?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The VINTO app works fully as a portfolio tracker without the sensor. You can add bottles manually or by scanning labels, see real-time market prices, and track returns. The sensor adds cellar monitoring, instant alerts, and storage certificates.

Question 14

When will I receive the VINTO sensor?

Accepted Answer

Sensors will ship to Kickstarter backers after the campaign closes in May 2026, with estimated delivery in Q4 2026 (October–November). Founding members are first in line for delivery.

Question 15

Where does VINTO get wine price data from?

Accepted Answer

VINTO has a data partnership with the world's largest professional wine trading platform, which has 25 years of transaction history covering billions of dollars in fine wine sales annually. This provides actual sale prices — not estimates — resulting in 94% price accuracy.

Question 16

Is my wine collection data secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your collection data is stored securely and accessible only by you. VINTO uses industry-standard encryption for all data in transit and at rest. We never sell your data to third parties, and you can export or delete your collection at any time.

Question 17

Can I export my wine collection data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. VINTO lets you export your full collection as a structured data file for accounting, insurance, or personal records. Founding members and Premium users can also generate shareable storage certificates including environmental monitoring history — useful for resale or insurance claims.

Question 18

Is VINTO available outside Denmark?

Accepted Answer

VINTO is built for wine collectors globally. The app, pricing data, and sensor work worldwide. Kickstarter backers can pledge from any country. The app is available in English and Danish.
