MTB23 - Vintage Coin Offering

This is the world’s first organic wine-backed cryptoasset

Costaflores is a winery based in Mendoza, Argentina. It is the first winery in the world to issue a wine-backed cryptocurrency asset.

The MTB23 token is an ERC20 cryptoasset for the 2023 vintage. Each digital token represents one bottle of wine produced from the 2023 harvest, available for drinking after May 6, 2026.

What is it

We are selling cryptocurrency tokens that represent actual bottles of wine, made from a specific grape harvest at Costaflores Organic Vineyard. It’s like bitcoin, but for wine!

Why are we doing this?

  • A) Allow the market to decide the price of our wine

  • B) Provide complete transparency into our business practices.

  • C) Generate traceability: Vine -> Wine -> Dine -> Mind

This is our fourth year issuing wine-backed cryptoassets (MTB18 was our first), but we have been making delicious organic wines since 2007

How does it work?

If you have never owned a cryptocurrency,
now is your chance:

  • 1. In March, we pick the grapes from the Costaflores Organic Vineyard.

  • 2. During the months of March and April, we make our wine, blend of Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Sauvignon: “Mike Tango Bravo”

  • 3. On the 6th of May, we issue the MTB23 tokens (Vintage Coin Offering), based on the number of bottles of wine produced.

  • 4. When the VCO finishes on the 25th of July, wine tokens are available to buy AND sell on the Viniswap exchange for trading.

  • 5. Three years later, the wines are ready for drinking, and can be redeemed any time online with the MTB23 tokens, until May 2033

For 2023, the initial price of the MTB23 tokens are based on the COST value of the wine. After the 25th of July, we let the market take over and decide the "real" value of our wines.
