This episode had to happen. The origin story of this show necessitated it. And what better timing then to release it as our holiday special when many of you around the world will be sitting around the table with family and friends, breaking bread and sharing a bottle of fine fermented grape juice. But beyond our passion for drinking and socializing around wine, is there an investable asset class here yet? We examine the history of wine investing, the lifecycle of the grape, and the very unique investment characteristics of each stage of the lifecycle. Then we invite two experts, both of which have brought the category to mainstream acceptance in different ways, on either end of that production spectrum to help us think through this burgeoning opportunity set.

Wine made by ancient methods is gaining new fans. 用古老方法酿造的葡萄酒正在赢得新的粉丝。 Wine is an alcoholic drink made from fruit like grapes. 葡萄酒是一种由葡萄等水果制成的酒精饮料。 Natural wine uses methods that reduce processing and harmful effects on the Earth. Research company IWSR Drinks Market Analysis found that people in the U.S. are seeking natural wine in increasing numbers. At the same time, the number of wine buyers has been dropping since 2015. 天然葡萄酒采用的方法可减少加工过程和对地球的有害影响。 研究公司 IWSR Drinks Market Analysis 发现越来越多的美国人寻求天然葡萄酒。 与此同时,葡萄酒买家数量自2015年以来一直在下降。 Natural and other Earth-friendly wines made up less than one percent of sales in 2021. But demand for those wines was rising faster than other kinds on the whole, reported Drizly, an online site for ordering and shipping wine and other alcohol. 2021 年,天然葡萄酒和其他环保葡萄酒仅占销售额的不到 1%。但据订购和运输葡萄酒及其他酒类的在线网站 Drizly 报道,这些葡萄酒的需求总体上比其他种类的葡萄酒增长得更快。 Most natural wines are made with organic grapes collected by hand. Organic growers do not use poisonous chemicals to stop or control insects or unwanted plant growth. 大多数天然葡萄酒都是用手工采集的有机葡萄酿制的。 有机种植者不使用有毒化学品来阻止或控制昆虫或不需要的植物生长。 To make wine, the grapes need to be crushed. Some wine producers crush grapes by foot like people of ancient times. Afterwards, the crushed grapes ferment naturally. Manufacturers do not add water, yeast or other substances. 为了酿造葡萄酒,需要将葡萄压碎。 有些葡萄酒生产商像古代人一样用脚踩碎葡萄。 之后,压碎的葡萄自然发酵。 制造商不添加水、酵母或其他物质。 There are exceptions. Some natural winemakers add sulfites, a chemical produced naturally in grapes. Extra sulfites can help preserve, or keep, the wine. And some winemakers clear the final liquid of any small pieces that could make it look cloudy.但也有例外。 一些天然酿酒师添加亚硫酸盐,这是一种葡萄中天然产生的化学物质。 额外的亚硫酸盐可以帮助保存或保存葡萄酒。 一些酿酒师清除了最终液体中任何可能使其看起来浑浊的小碎片。 The result is wines that are earthy and less predictable than many of the wines created by bigger producers. 结果是葡萄酒变得朴实,并且比大生产商生产的许多葡萄酒更难以预测。“The first time you taste it, you can tell it's alive,” said John Keller. He is the owner and winemaker at Neu Cellars in Northern Michigan. “当你第一次尝到它的时候,你就能看出它是活的,”约翰·凯勒说。 他是密歇根州北部 Neu Cellars 的老板和酿酒师。 But selling natural wine processes can be difficult. Natural wine has no set definition in the U.S. It is not easy to find, since most natural wines do not identify as such on their labels. 但销售天然葡萄酒工艺可能很困难。 天然葡萄酒在美国没有固定的定义。要找到天然葡萄酒并不容易,因为大多数天然葡萄酒的标签上都没有这样的标识。 “Natural just sounds good, but conventional wine is pretty natural too,” said Anita Oberholster. She is a professor in the Department of Viticulture and Enology at the University of California, Davis. “If the idea of natural wine is going to grow, we should do research on it and define it.” “天然听起来不错,但传统葡萄酒也很天然,”安妮塔·奥伯霍尔斯特 (Anita Oberholster) 说。 她是加州大学戴维斯分校葡萄栽培和酿酒学系的教授。 “如果天然葡萄酒的理念要发展,我们应该对其进行研究并对其进行定义。”Keller of Neu Cellars has a degree in biochemistry. He started out working for a big winemaker in California. But he left because he was not happy about all the chemical mixes it used. These include gelatin, oak dust, and eggs. Neu Cellars 的凯勒拥有生物化学学位。 他开始为加利福尼亚州的一家大型酿酒师工作。 但他离开了,因为他对公司使用的所有化学混合物不满意。 其中包括明胶、橡木粉和鸡蛋。 However, some say the line between natural and conventional wines is very narrow. 然而,有人说天然葡萄酒和传统葡萄酒之间的界限非常狭窄。 Many products added to wine, like yeast, are natural products, Oberholster said. And many conventional wines are made without adding anything. 奥伯霍尔斯特说,许多添加到葡萄酒中的产品,如酵母,都是天然产品。 许多传统葡萄酒是在不添加任何东西的情况下酿造的。 Some in the industry would like to establish rules for producing natural wine. France's wine industry took such action in 2020, enacting requirements that winemakers must meet to identify their wines as natural. 一些业内人士希望制定天然葡萄酒生产规则。 法国葡萄酒行业在 2020 年采取了这样的行动,制定了酿酒师必须满足的要求,才能认定他们的葡萄酒是天然的。 Some manufacturers argue that rules can make wine making more costly. Keller uses organic grapes but he says he cannot support the cost of repeated inspections for approval as an organic wine. 一些制造商认为,规则可能会提高葡萄酒酿造成本。 凯勒使用有机葡萄,但他表示他无法承担为批准有机葡萄酒而进行重复检查的费用。 Anthony Zhang is the co-founder and CEO of Vinovest, a wine investment company. He sees another problem. 张东是葡萄酒投资公司Vinovest的联合创始人兼首席执行官。 他看到了另一个问题。 Vinovest says some wine companies are profiting from the lack of rules. They use labeling content like imagery that suggests their wine making is natural when they are not, he argues. Vinovest 表示,一些葡萄酒公司正在从缺乏规则中获利。 他认为,他们使用图像等标签内容来暗示他们的葡萄酒酿造是自然的,而实际上并非如此。 That can mislead buyers who often will pay higher prices for wines made by smaller producers that use natural methods. 这可能会误导买家,他们往往愿意为采用自然方法的小生产商生产的葡萄酒支付更高的价格。 However, buyers may have more information on wine bottles soon. Starting in December, wines sold in the European Union will have to identify on their labeling all the substances each product contains. 不过,买家可能很快就会获得更多有关酒瓶的信息。 从十二月开始,在欧盟销售的葡萄酒必须在标签上标明每种产品所含的所有物质。 Oberholster expects the U.S. to pass similar measures as well in the next few years. 奥伯霍尔斯特预计美国也将在未来几年通过类似的措施。

When something appreciates over time, we often say "it aged like a fine wine". Well, in this video we're going to learn about the emerging world of investing in rare wines & spirits. Once only available to the rich elite, innovative companies are now giving regular investors like you and me access to this asset class -- which has outperformed the S&P over the past decade while offering important portfolio diversification given its low level of correlation to the financial markets.

Serial entrepreneur Anthony Zhang launched his latest venture, Vinovest, a fintech for fine wine investing, in 2020, just before the pandemic took hold. The stock market soon fell 30%, but Anthony claims the wine market did not follow this trajectory. It was on its own path. Two years later, Vinovest has more than 10,000 investors and is helping to turn luxury wine into a viable alternative asset class for mainstream investors. You can find show notes and other information at CarsonGroup.com/Framework.
Let's be honest, we all have that one food or drink that we can no longer enjoy because of an unfavorable experience with it. Jason Wise is joined by Shakera Jones and Anthony Zhang to share their taste aversions and maybe a few embarrassing stories.
In this episode, we sit down with Anthony Zhang, founder of Vinovest. Vinovest is changing the wine investing game by offering retail investors the ability to invest in wine more seamlessly. We dive into how he's built the business, their eudcaiotn process, and his learnings around growth. Learn more about them at vinovest.co
Following a presentation at USC from Mark Cuban and Mark Burnett (Shark Tank), Trojans freshman Anthony Zhang, pitched his business, EnvoyNow. The delivery startup capitalizing on the neglected college market impressed the sharks enough to invest $100,000 for 10% of the business. Soon after, The Thiel Foundation offered him an additional $100,000 to drop out of school and focus on EnvoyNow full time. Life was great, or so it seemed. Unfortunately, Anthony suffered a spinal cord injury, the result of diving into a pool in Las Vegas. Suddenly, everything he had been working on was put on hold. The young man who made building businesses from the ground up his career, would now have to do just that for his new body and mind. Anthony is my guest on this episode of The QuadCast. I enjoyed getting to know him, and bring his remarkable story to you.
You're driving down the winding roads of Napa Valley, visiting the countless wineries, taking in the beautiful scenery, and enjoying the various pairings of meats, cheeses, and palate cleansers... But that's not all that pairs well with wine. This week Anthony Zhang, an ambitious entrepreneur who created Vinovest, gives us the inside scoop on how wine is so much more than just those ‘soft' descriptors, and can actually be considered an asset class. Even if Jeff asks… really? Is it really scalable and doable for large investors? It's no coincidence we're dropping this week's pod the day after National Wine Day. Grab yourself a glass of vino as Anthony aerates topics like; starting a company from a dorm room, getting paid to skip college, how wine gains value, why wine doesn't need a token for Crypto, coping with paraplegia, and his outlook ahead. Plus, he gives us an exclusive insight into finding a gem within the wine list. This episode will make you want to sip, savor, and repeat — enjoy!

A year end review of the Artistic Finance 6k--our $6,000 investment. We've gathered a bond investment CEO, a data analyst, and two lighting designers to compare how our investments compare to the market (aka the S&P 500).

Here's a way you can make money. This guy has created multiple companies and sold them. People reach out to me for advice on what to do for businesses. Next year they need to reach out to Anthony.Welcome to the show, Anthony.A:Jason, thanks so much for having me on. It's a pleasure.BZ: Before we get into your entrepreneurial journey, I just want you to quickly say what you guys do. What is Vinovest?A: We are a way for anyone to be able to diversify their portfolios into the asset class of fine wine. So we help people buy, store and sell appreciating assets, like investment-grade wines.BZ: How long have you been doing it?A:So we are rocking on year three right now.BZ: And how has it, how has the journey been?A: We launched actually March of 2020. So if you remember what was happening, that we were heading into a global pandemic. And I remember the first week me and my co-founder launched the business was when the stock market tanks like 20%, 30%.We looked at each other and think holy crap, is this the worst time ever to launch a new investment platform? Thankfully things worked out. Been able to amass, tens of thousands of investors. So now it's broader platform. And the wine work has been doing pretty well as well.It's 2020 it's at 17% returns last year, around 19%. And this year we're actually up almost 6% year to date.BZ: Anthony where did you grow up? what's your story?A: All right. We're in the bay area, but actually spent most of my childhood years abroad. Beijing, Hong Kong, Vancouver. But came back here for high school, finished up high school in Palo Alto, California, and then started college in LA. And I think that's when my entrepreneurial journey started with my first business, which was a college food delivery startup called onboard.BZ:Is that the one you pitched to Mark Cuban?A: Yeah. So after that pitch night with Mark I had the opportunity to join a fellowship program called the Thiel fellowship. For those of you who aren't familiar, Peter Thiel, every single year, gives out a hundred thousand dollars to about 26 people.And it is no strings attached except you have to drop out of college. I got that. I dropped out of school and actually pursued that food delivery startup full time. And over the course of the next four or so years, we were able to grow that business out to over 20 markets nationwide. We had hunted a thousand students using it, and we eventually sold that.We were able to get a really good return for our early investors. More than 2X. And if it's any indication, many of those investors now also back to my current company between 2X and 10X.BZ: So you sold Envoy. And then you said, what was the other company you sold?A: So if you remember what's happening in Hollywood in 2017, it was a Harvey Weinstein that was dominating the news and all the terrible things he did.And a similar story was unfolding in Silicon Valley where a lot of big shot VCs were getting called out in the news for pretty much doing the same thing, racial discrimination. Sexual harassment. As a guy, I definitely did not experience any of it. And it was shocking to me and talking with a lot of my friends who, were female founders or founders from other minority backgrounds, they were sharing some of their stories with me privately. And I was like, holy crap these stories need to be able to be out there, but in a way that doesn't hurt the storyteller right.In a way that can also benefit future powers. So maybe essentially like a rating app for venture capitalists and angel investors. And just because of the climate at the time that site really blew up pretty quickly. Hundreds of thousands of unique searches a month on entrepreneurs and other investors, actually just looking at that out, these other VCs and angel investors that they were potentially going to work with.BZ: Anthony is that one still around?A: Yeah. Now it's called Rate My Investors. So if you go to ratemyinvestor.com I believe it is still the largest database of vetted reviews on angels and VCsBZ:So what was it like working with Peter Thiel?A: So the program is pretty awesome. I think the biggest benefit that it gave me was seeing that "Hey, there are a lot of other young entrepreneurs that have taken a traditional path and they're taken out." I was, I was going into my sophomore year at college.I was working a ton on the startup and everyone around me was just living a normal college life. I feel like I had a community and joining the Thiel fellowship and being a part of that, I think just gave me that sort of tribe that I needed to feel competent dropping out. Or also would have just been in my college apartment, being alone all the time, trying to build a company.There's a quality standard that comes with becoming a Thiel fellow.BZ: So while you were at USC you had an accident, right? And are you cool talking about that? A: Yeah, absolutely. It's a part of who I am. So this was actually when I was running Envoy now. And this is about almost six years to this day, actually. I had a spinal cord injury and so those of you don't know what that is. It means that you pretty much get paralyzed from wherever in your spinal cord break. For me it was a surgical injury. So this was like up in my neck at the C5 vertebrae. And that meant I couldn't really move anything below my shoulders at first. And that completely changed my life because I was in the ICU for five weeks.I could not move anything. Multiple surgeries and was on a ventilator for almost the next four months. And, talk about having to learn everything all over again. I wasn't thinking about my startup or, investors or anything like that, even though I was in the middle of raising around it at the time obviously that round crumbled.But I was in full-on survival mode. I didn't even know if I could go back to doing any of the things I used to love. And recovering and being able to have even the drive to want to do something again, other than stare at the ceiling, getting in bed it was a really tough time and I'm really just fortunate to have my then girlfriend now wife with me.And she was really just by everything and helping me realize that Hey Anthony even though, physically, you're not the same. No, you're all there mentally. You can still be able to do what you love, which is running businesses. And you shouldn't go back to doing the things that you love.And so then during those five weeks or what happened to Envoy now and what, and just we'll go there first and then I'll. Yeah. It was honestly almost six months where I was away from the business by like co-founders took over, they were running the business in my absence. And, I actually refused to look at a phone for almost four or five months.Cause I was just fully in denial, what had happened and it was in the hospital in, in, in our rehabilitation hospital for pretty much the next year. And. Th like mentally professionally, personally, how did this change you or did it change you? Yeah, I think what really helped me really snap back into reality was a statistic that my occupational therapist read me.It was "they're saying that 80% of people have spinal cord injuries. They actually never go back to work." And I was like, holy crap. I don't want to be part of that 80%. I want to just go back to the real world and, be able to live life again. My life cannot just be in a hospital facility doing assisted care for the rest of my life.That's what actually led me to come back to the. I told him, I go fast. Okay, I'm coming back. I'm still in the hospital. I'm still going to be doing, five to six hours of therapy a day and work on me, but I want to get back to running the business. And that was that, that turning point that kind of gave me a new perspective of being incredibly lucky to get to where I was.But the fact that there was still so much more to go with the business. And I think that's also what I think helped to drive our company over the next year. So we've got to that eventual acquisition.BZ: You've gotten some mobility back in your body as well, Is that correct?A: I can definitely like move a few more things. I'm still in a wheelchair today, but I'm not completely independent. I still have to have the help of others to be able to get along with my every day. And I think that was honestly a biggest, big lesson I had to learn was actually to ask for help.Cause as an adult, like you don't do that very often. And it was very hard for me to Come to that realization that if I wanted to actually have the freedom that I wanted to have in my life, needed to be okay with that. BZ: So you do all this stuff, the delivery, investment crypto, how did you choose to get into wines?A: I came across an article in the wall street journal and it was talking about all these ultra wealthy billionaires and Luxury assets they were investing in that was making them richer. And how crazy are the terms? Are all these assets work? On the top of the list, there's things like wine and whiskey are like classic cars rare luxury goods. And all of them had really incredible double digit returns over the course of decades.And I was like, holy crap. Like I did not know art had those returns. I had not known why I'd had those returns and I was like, Hey, it sounds pretty cool. Being able to collect and invest in wine. And the worst that can happen is that I'm stuck with a bunch of nice wine that I can end up drinking.If I'm not getting those returns or pick the wrong lines, if that's my downside scenario, it doesn't seem too bad. Decided to start collecting wine and realized very quickly why you need to be very wealthy because I was spending tens of thousands of dollars on things like insurance custody, setting up the right storage, getting, trying to get into all these like exclusive auctions.And it's a ton of barriers to entry that I don't think would be feasible for any average retail investor or any even like most high net worth. So like the amount of work that it takes to actually properly and properly. Investing in wine is a lot. And I thought to myself that's ridiculous that we're in, we're in 2020, 2021, 2022, and this is still the way that you invest in wine.The easiest way to transact wine is to wait two weeks and go and auction. And your market is the people who are in the room, right? That's silly to me, especially being in crypto where everything is transparent, global 24 - 7, right? Instant. That's actually part of doing that on the side for a few years and realizing that Hey, this is something that I'm very passionate about and I want to give this sort of access that I've developed myself throughout the years.I want to give that to more.BZ: So how does the process work? So there's a lot of stuff that you've done behind the scenes that we need to talk about here. How have you actually pulled this amazing platform off. Did you have to become SEC approved? Like how many years did it take? This is fricking pretty impressive, man.A: . So this was this is just a lot of exploration between me and my co-founder and we realized that Even though a lot of people we think would be interested in investing in wine, but like yourself, for example, most people, first of all, haven't even heard of wine investing and they definitely don't know which ones to pick.So that's why we chose this product. Which is essentially like a guided or managed portfolio as a first product, right? Like you pick your risk appetite, you pick, a few other inputs, how much you want to invest and things like that. And then we'll, we'll do all the heavy lifting for you, we help you pick the one. We help restore store the wines. We help you show the prices and history. And when you should sell those wines, we really are the ones to be that sort of like educational guide as you start your wine investment journey. So why do you think wine is as good as not as good as the alternate investment?So I actually came from it from more of a crypto medical, right? Like people love. It's deflationary. It's something that has a very fixed supply, same with wine, and then get him to eat it. If you release a thousand bottles into the market, you can't ever print more bottles from that same year.And why don't even take it one step further where in addition to that, people are drinking those bottles every single day. So maybe after year one, that 1000 bottles turn into 900. And just given supply and demand. That means that the remaining 900 bottles were just going to be a little bit more scarce and valuable.On top of that wine actually agents, right? The profile of that wine actually changes throughout time and people prefer the taste of aged wine. So not only is this product getting more scarce over time, but it's actually changing and appreciating into a better product. And those two are really the key drivers of why wine goes up and down.When you pick the right one. And to me, those things that seem like very simple to understand and something that doesn't really go away. People are not going to stop drinking wine anytime soon.BZ:Do I invest buy the bottle of wine and you guys store it? Or how does that work?A: Yeah, so we store it for you by default.You can actually get it delivered to you and drink it if you want, but by keeping it within our storage facility. It makes selling the much easier, because it's like a, it's like buying a car where like the moment it's off the lot and it gets into like your garage, it's massively devalued.So by keeping it in our temperature controlled facilities that maintains the highest possible resale.BZ: How many facilities do you have?A: All over the world, actually, because our wine has grown all over the world. So if we're buying wine from France for keeping it in France, if we're buying wine from Napa, we're keeping it in Napa.BZ:Do you have to buy insurance on it?Yeah. So all of these facilities have pretty robust insurance on them because what if the wine breaks right? What if there's an earthquake? What if you know the runs out of power and it's no longer temperature control. So all of those protections we have in place as part of the Beano best program, so that you actually can have asset protection and be able to feel safe as a first time.BZ: Are you being the first robo advisor for fine wine? A: Yeah, I think it's a very good comparison because we do have algorithms behind that make it a fully automated process.And we're the ones that are seeing those and fully being able to manage it for. Of course I got human experts that do inform and update that algorithm, but it's really that combination it's so scale such a huge user base while not having to hire a ton of new people.BZ: How many investors are on the platform?So I think we're creeping up on 10,000 investors on the planet. And a lot of them are like yourself, right there. They're very much versed in the investing world. They're investing in other alternatives and they see this as just wasted bark, some of their money that doesn't have the same correlation to the other stuff that.BZ: Now there's a quote, you said "the main thing separating someone with a hundred million investible assets and a hundred thousand investible assets is not the stock markets it's access to alternative investments." What do you mean by that?A: I think access to quality alternatives is really that difference-maker because.Anybody can invest in stocks, and you can pick all the same stocks. You can pick all those same cryptos, but still, I think that role of alternatives is where there is so much information asymmetry. There's so much gated, right? It's not everybody can invest in the top real estate funds.Not anybody can get into the best startups. There's a, there's definitely a kind of a gate and a barrier there. And same with wine. Not anybody can invest in best wines in the world because of those reasons of, not having access or not having the right storage and things like that.WithVinovest, we're trying to do our part in helping to change that.BZ: Vinovest launched a live marketplace to buy and sell wine on February 3rd, 2022.Can you talk a little bit how that works?A: So this is very similar to. A trading platform. A lot of people are going to be able to make their own decisions on, Hey if I don't want the managed portfolio to pick those wines out for me, if I, maybe I'm graduating from the manager side or maybe I'm just a more active type of investor.And I like to make my own picks. That's the place for you, right? If you're really betting on the region of champagne, you can just buy all the champagne you want and be able to have a very concentrated portfolio. Or if you really love this one producer, do you think their line's going to go up, skyrocket, you can just do that.It's a more, I think active experience for our users. And so far we've seen a really great response.BZ: Can you give like a number of, so if I invested $5,000 today, In 10 years what will it be? Can ypu just tell me like a rate of return that you think I could get over the next year by percentage terms? A: So historical rates returned to the wine market at been around just over 10%.You can just compound that and do the math where it's a pretty stable asset. It's something that is going to have minimal drawdown periods during the sessions. And it's reliable, right. Line investing in wine has been around for how does. It just really hasn't been available.BZ: Okay. So it seems like a no brainer. Are there accounts that invest in like hundreds of thousands of dollars or even millions? A: Yeah, we had people up on, on that level and those are more so like the institutional clients, family offices where they're managing large sums of money.But most people are in the single digit thousands. They're just starting out the retail investors. They're looking to put some of their money in their overall investible portfolio into this asset, like wine and then build it up over time.BZ: Okay. And how does Vinovest make money? A:So we make money through our management fees.So this covers the storage, the insurance, and all those protections that we talk about. And for that's how we, that's how we monetize.BZ: Did you have to become SEC approved?A: So this is outside ofSEC because we're not selling securities, right?Currently is not deemed as a security, it's a collectible. And because we're also not selling shares that represent wine or selling fractional ownership, I think like a lot of the other, real estate or art sort of investment programs. That makes it so that you're just buying a bottle of why you're just buying a case of wine.And you can drink it too. So that kind of preserves the utility of the wine, which makes it a lot more flexible from a regulatory standpoint.BZ: So if I put a 100k dollars into. And I keep it in until 2025. Let's say the money stays with you guys and then you guys would say, if I want to sell the, you guys would send the money back, basically.A: So we'd sell your wines off to the next person, right? And then you would you'd get those returns, the Delta between what you paid for and what it sells for.BZ: I created my account. How do I fund my account? A: Pretty much any single payment option under the sun. You can write us a check. You can pay in crypto. Credit card, you can link your bank account.BZ: So can I do that online or do I need to call someone now all online so I you don't need to talk to anybody?A: You can do that.BZ: What is your favorite wine?I'll say a favorite recent has been Vincent Dauvissat Chablis. Super crisp. Just goes really well with, cheese, fish, and even chicken. And that's one that I've been really enjoying recently.So thank you for coming on.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-raz-report/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Anthony Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Vinovest, a wine investing platform, joins the show with Scott Kitun. The age of retail investing and collecting is upon us and never before have so many people been able to invest in everything from baseball cards to NFTs. Why not fine wines? Anthony answers resoundingly how a long-time collector's item - wine - is a natural fit as an alternate asset in anyone's portfolio. In a thoughtful conversation, Anthony and Scott walk through the appeal for wine as an asset class and how Vinovest acts as your marketplace, portfolio, education center and wine cellar. Anthony also shares his journey as a repeat founder and how he googled "what do rich people invest in" when he first started to personally invest and eventually that started spurred the idea for Vinovest. Anthony and Scott also talk about the similarities to buying/storing cards like Alt. Anthony recommends what wines anyone should start with and how to on the platform based on when you want the best ROI. You can follow Anthony on his Twitter for wine info and advice.
Our guest today is Anthony Zhang, co-founder and CEO of Vinovest, the first of its kind investment platform where individual investors of all kinds can own fine wine (investment grade). He dropped out of the University of Southern California at the age of 20 when he was selected for the prestigious Thiel Fellowship, a two-year program that provides entrepreneurs under 23 a $100K grant to pursue their startups. Other companies he has held leadership or board positions include RateMyInvestor, Blockfolio, JOANY & JoyRun. He is also an active angel investor (portfolio holdings listed on LinkedIn profile). In today's episode, we begin with discussing Anthony's background as a serial entrepreneur, starting with the Thiel Fellowship, his pitch to Mark Cuban, and what led him to dropping out of USC. We quickly move to the life changing accident that Anthony experienced, including his painful rehab and his incredible return to save his company. We then discuss how his interest in wine led him to starting Vinovest. Then we get into the case for investing in wine, beta exposure and how you can generate alpha buying and selling wine. We also compare investing in wine vs. whiskey, storage, and most importantly, what success will look like for a Vinovest investor (performance vs. the U.S. stock market). Last, we discuss fundraising for a startup, his heavy hitter investors and the future of his company. Our host today is Steve Curley, CFA, Co-Founder of the Investors First Podcast and former President of CFA Society Orlando. Please enjoy the episode.

Please welcome Anthony Zhang, Co-Founder and CEO of Vinovest. Anthony Zhang recently turned 26 but has already successfully built and sold two companies, secured funding from Mark Cuban and Mark Burnett, and received a Thiel fellowship grant. Not only that, but he has worked hard to come back from a devastating accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. Anthony is now the founder and CEO of his third company: Vinovest, a platform that has been described as “the Robinhood of wine investing” and is making it easier for people around the world to access this wealth-building asset class.
A serial entrepreneur, Anthony Zhang, was pondering alternative investments and fell into wine. With superior returns to the S&P 500, less volatility, and low correlation with the stock market, wine investment seemed like a perfect category to democratize with technology. Anthony tells us why people should consider investing in wine, the Vinovest investment process, and how wine investment may impact the wine industry. All with a mission of lowering the cost and barriers for the average consumer to invest in wine. Detailed Show Notes: Anthony's backgroundHe grew up around the world, childhood in Beijing and Hong KongWent to USC for college and founded EnvoyNow, a food delivery service for college campuses with investment from Mark Cuban and Peter ThielWas considering alternative investments and was attracted to wine over others (e.g., art, cars)Wine investing challengesHard to get access to the winesFees for auctions, shipping, and storageInvestment thesis - fine wine has outperformed the S&P 500 over the last 20 years, has half the volatility, and has a low correlation with the stock market (i.e., is a good hedge); wine also has a decreasing supply over time, which enables appreciation over timeVinovest investment processChoose how much to invest, how long to invest in (e.g., 5 vs. 20 years), and your risk appetite (e.g., blue-chip wines like 1st growths or Grand Cru Burgundy or “emerging markets” like newer winemakers, ownership changes, etc.…) => this helps determine which wines to invest inInvest in whole bottles or cases, not fractional bottles or fractions of a portfolioAcquire, store, and insure winesVinovest can help sell wines as wellFees - all-inclusive 2.85% / year asset management feeAccess/procurement of winesShipping and wine storageInsuranceAverage bottle price ~$200-600/bottleAcquire wines below retail by buying direct from negociants or wineriesCurrently managing ~$50M (as of Sept 2021)Can take physical delivery of wines - but often stored in Europe, so can arrange for batch delivery with others to reduce shipping costs (from hundreds of dollars to Vinovest's insurance company inspects and authenticates the winesVinovest only buys in-bond so can track the previous ownersKey players in the wine investment spaceMainly in Asia and EuropePrivate Banks have wine funds, UK (Vin-X, Wine-ex, Cult Wines)Vinovest differentiation - more technology-driven, collect more data and aggregate it to create automated investment strategiesTo address wine funds that fail - each investor owns their wines with an audit trail that shows the wine is theirs Wine investment impact on the wine industryWine prices may increase as more players enter the investment marketClimate change is increasing prices through lower yieldsIt won't impact commercial wines (e.g., $10-20 bottles), but fine winesAuction houses - the modern investor isn't okay with paying 20-25% premiumsRegulationUS - wine is classified as a collectible, like art or rare coins, and is subject to capital gains tax when sold (self-reported)Int'l - some countries, like the UK, France, and parts of Asia, wine is classified as a “wasting asset” with an expiration date (often 50 years) and is capital gains tax-freeNext for Vinovest - want to continue to educate consumers on the benefits of wine investing, intends to create a low entry point to make wine investing more accessible
Jason Wise and Anthony Zhang of Vinovest discuss NFTs including what they are, how they're used, and how they intersect with the wine world.

Greetings and welcome to episode 231 of The Entrepreneurial You podcast. Today's episode is with Anthony Zhang, co-founder of Vinovest. Vinovest is a platform that is democratizing access to fine wine investing. Anthony is a repeat entrepreneur who successfully built and sold two companies, EnvoyNow and KnowYourVC, by the age of 22. He has also held leadership positions at cryptocurrency platform, Blockfolio and is a board member at RateMyInvestor. Here is our conversation on "Getting Started in the Wine Business.” Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Learn about Wine Investing and how it can work for you Learn about Venovest and how it could help you on your Wine Investment journey. Get professional recommendations on some of the best players in the wine market and some tips on how you can get more into wine. Episode Highlights Wine Investing Wine investing is the process of buying and storing wine and then selling it as it appreciates over time. Venovest is one of the premier wine investing platforms. Vinovest goes as far as to help investors pick wines that are good for investment, store the wine, insure it, and help you to monitor the market prices and trends for you to get the best returns on your investment. The Golden Keys to Wine Investing Before you can start investing, there are a few things you NEED to pay attention to; Ageability - Wine with long aging ability allows investors to hold on to it for longer and make more from this investment. Supply and Demand - The less of an available product, the higher the selling price. Therefore, Wine Investors usually look for wines that are not very popular as the remaining supply is more valuable. Brand Value - Some wines are considered more luxurious than others, as such the prices and long-term returns will reflect that. If a Wine investor can tap into all three of these aspects, they will see greater returns on their investment. Investment takes a little time When Wine Investing it will take a while for investors to see returns on their investment because: Wine takes time to age and, the older it is the greater the returns; Wine Investment is a stable investment, the returns may sometimes be slow but, they are sure and safe. Before a person starts Wine Investing they should;. Do Research; Make a Budget for the amount they want to invest and assess the risks; LET IT GO! Have patience and give it time for the investment to start making its returns. Is this Risky Business? There is little regulation when it comes to Wine Investing therefore; investors have to look out for a few things such as: Fraud - Be careful who you buy your wine from and do not trust third parties unless you know exactly who they are. It is best to order your wine straight from the winery. Insurance - Wine needs to be properly stored however, the change in climate and day-to-day handling of the wine can cause damage or loss so investors must have insurance and proper storage for their investment. 3 Powerful Quotes from This Episode “There are a lot of things that you can invest in outside of the stock market.” “ The key to being able to narrow the wealth gap in the world is for everybody to have access to the same wealth creation opportunities.” “Wine investing is a long-term investment.” About Anthony Zhang Anthony Zhang is the co- founder and CEO of Vinovest.

Today on the Alt Goes Mainstream podcast we have a guest who may be young in age, but has already done more and lived through more than many people twice his age.Anthony Zhang recently turned 26 but has already successfully built and sold two companies, secured funding from Mark Cuban, and received a Thiel Fellowship grant before starting Vinovest, his third company, which is making it easier to access fine wine as an investment product.He also has an admirable and awe-inspiring personal story, working hard to come back from a devastating accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down. He was in the middle of running his second company, EnvoyNow, when this accident happened and, despite the tremendous adversity he faced, was able to continue to build the business and achieve a successful sale.Anthony recently founded Vinovest, a platform that has been described as the Robinhood of wine investing. He's built an investment platform that is unlocking wine investing to the masses. We had a fascinating conversation. We talked about: Anthony's background as an entrepreneur. Some of the lessons learned from starting 3 companies by the ripe old age of 26. How fine wine can be a compelling investment during periods of volatility. How to identify an investment-grade wine Some of his favorite wines (that he drinks and invests into!). Wine as an investment has been largely inaccessible to the individual investor due to high account minimums, a lack of wine expertise, concerns about fraud, and the excessive costs associated with storing and insuring wine. Vinovest is abstracting away many of these issues with their automated investment platform that helps investors invest into fine wine as an asset class.Thanks Anthony for coming on the AGM podcast. We hope you enjoy this episode.

Anthony Zhang is the Co-Founder and CEO of Vinovest a platform where you can invest in fine wine! He is featured on Forbes, NBC News, People Magazine and more. Anthony is a repeat entrepreneur who has previously founded and sold two companies, EnvoyNow and KnowYourVC. He has also held leadership positions at Blockfolio and is a board member at RateMyInvestor. Anthony is also a Thiel Fellow. Anthony has an amazing story, he is a college dropout, but has been an entrepreneur through his college career as he has already sold two businesses at a young age of 25. Anthony has stated that his big shift was when he skipped class one day to go see Mark Cuban and Mark Burnett- where he was actually able to pitch to them and secured a $100,000 investment for 5% equity in his company. As he continued to work on his start-up as you hear him speak on this podcast and on as an article on Medium.com describes it, "Anthony was faced with great adversity. Anthony was in an accident in a swimming pool in 2016 which left him paralyzed from the neck down. He was in the hospital for months and took some time away from his business to work on his recovery. Anthony's physical rehabilitation is a priority in his life, and he continues to work on his recovery today" (Medium.com, Matt Shaffer). That being said even as he is paralyzed from the neck down he is a WARRIOR changing up the investment space by allowing the everyday investor to invest in Fine Wine- an asset that does not have real correlation to the stock market sort of like gold (Disclaimer: neither Anthony, or I are providing any investment advice in this podcast). It is a really cool alternative investment that has an exceptional founder heading it. Anthony spends time on this podcast helping educate you on why you should keep pushing and striving through adversity. Because life will get tough, but look at Anthony he never quit, never stopped, and just continues to ADAPT!
