SEC-qualified platform enabling fractional investment in curated fine wine and spirits collections.
About
Vint is an alternative investment platform that securitizes investment-grade wine and spirit collections with the SEC, offering fractional ownership to retail investors. Founded in 2019 by Nick King and Patrick Sanders — both UVA graduates with backgrounds in investment analysis and software engineering — Vint handles sourcing, authentication, storage, and eventual liquidation of collections while investors buy and trade shares starting at $25. The platform has sold out multiple collections within hours of launch and has generated net annualized returns of 28.3% on exited assets. In 2024, Vint raised its minimum investment to $2,500 and launched a Futures and Casks Fund for accredited investors, signaling a move upmarket toward more sophisticated alternative investment products.
DailyDropout Take
Vint caught our eye as a clever fintech play on an underexplored asset class — wine and spirits have historically outperformed many traditional assets, but access has been locked behind six-figure minimums and specialist knowledge. By SEC-qualifying fractional shares, Vint removed both barriers at once.

What Makes Them Unique
Vint is the only SEC-qualified platform focused specifically on fractional wine and spirits investing, combining regulatory compliance with accessible minimum investments to democratize an asset class traditionally reserved for ultra-high-net-worth collectors.
