Are you a wine enthusiast looking for a new and innovative way to collect wine? Look no further than Bored Grapes, the first NFT model that merges virtual vineyards with real wine.
Bored Grapes launched in October 2022, and since then, it has paved the way for a cutting-edge digital futures concept, providing a new platform for wine enthusiasts to purchase and collect wine.
Virtual Grapevines and Real Wines
Bored Grapes released its first NFT collection, consisting of 5,555 virtual empty bottles, last year. The mint saw all available bottles claimed within 30 minutes. Founder Keeler said, “The process allows us to curate special digital opportunities and unique wines from my network of winemaker friends in the industry.” Collaborations with Avennia Winery and wineries in Italy, France, and California are already in the works.
This Easter weekend, Bored Grapes will drop a new NFT collection that enables members to mint 5,555 grapevines. Users will virtually grow grapes on their own vines at the Vinum Estate Metaverse vineyard. Once the grapes are harvested, users can combine them with their empty NFT bottles to create a full bottle of wine NFT. “Then they can redeem that NFT for an actual physical bottle of wine that I produce,” added Keeler.

Investing in Wine Futures Digitally
Each grapevine on Bored Grapes costs 0.10 Ethereum (ETH) or about $187.25 per vine if paying with a credit card in USD. Investing in grapevines on Bored Grapes is similar to buying wine futures, purchasing wine before it’s bottled. However, unlike traditional wine futures, Bored Grapes brings a digital twist. Co-founder Haleluk said, “We’re taking an exciting new approach to doing this digitally.” He added, “Even though these terms – NFT, mint, metaverse – may be complicated, this new technology is exciting. It enables creative teams to build unique experiences around products, brands, and exciting opportunities.”
Keeler shares the same sentiment, “We’re trying to make this a fun, new experience for buying wine.”
A New Frontier in Wine Investment
Wine NFTs may seem complex, but they present an innovative and enjoyable experience for purchasing wine. Bored Grapes merges the physical and digital realms, making a splash in the drinks industry. With Bored Grapes, you can collect virtual grapevines and turn them into real bottles of wine, making it a unique and fun way to invest in wine.
