# Wine-Focused Funding Platforms Fundovino is a Crowdfunding Site Dedicated Solely to Wine Projects By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2014-08-30 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crowdfunding-site References: [luxuo](http://www.luxuo.com/wines-spirits/fundovino-crowdfunding-wine-industry.html) & [fundovino](http://www.fundovino.com/) Since wine lovers have a strong community of their own, it's not a surprise that Fundovino, a crowdfunding site purely for wine-based projects recently popped up. The types of projects currently on the Fundovino site include ones that are on a mission to acquire more vineyard lands, supplies for wine-making or revive endangered grape types. Although these are ambitious projects, this is a great way for wine lovers to connect and support local wineries and the wines they love. Much like other popular [crowdfunding sites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cape-codr) including [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kickstarter-late-pledges) or [Indiegogo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indiegogo), Fundovino has its own set of incentives for those who support these wine projects. Some of the best ones include rewards in the form of bottles of wine and of course, exclusive tastings at the wineries. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.9/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [New Ventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/newventures) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Wine-focused Crowdfunding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a specialized crowdfunding platform for other niche industries, catering to specific enthusiast communities. - **Supporting Local Wineries:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create a digital platform that connects wine lovers directly with local wineries, allowing them to support and engage in virtual tasting experiences. - **Revival of Endangered Grapes:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Build a platform dedicated to preserving and reviving endangered grape varieties, enabling wine enthusiasts and farmers to collaborate on conservation projects. ### Who This Affects Most - **Crowdfunding:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design a crowdfunding platform that focuses on specific sectors, such as sustainable fashion or craft breweries. - **Wine Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce AI-driven technologies to assist winemakers in improving production processes and enhancing the quality of wine. - **Grape Farming:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced techniques and technologies for grape farming, enabling farmers to optimize yield, reduce environmental impact, and experiment with new grape varieties. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Wine Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharevino.md) - [Community-Building Wine Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curious-vines.md) - [Fine Wine Investment Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wine-investment-app.md) - [AI Wine Investors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinovest.md) - [Wine Industry Job Listings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/empleovino.md) - [NFT Wine Communities](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/club-dvin.md) - [Metaverse Wine Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nft-wine-club.md) - [Fine Wine Metaverses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crurated.md) - [Wine Content Creator Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winefluencer-club.md)
