DVin ⟸back

At Webisoft, I designed and built D'Vin, a Web3 platform that brings wine ownership into the digital world using Solana NFTs.

The concept is simple but the execution is anything but. Users purchase wine bottles in the form of Digital Corks, NFTs that represent actual ownership of a physical bottle. These Digital Corks can be traded between users on the platform, creating a secondary market for fine wines.

How it works

When the owner of a Digital Cork decides they want to drink the bottle, they can request a physical shipment. Once the bottle is opened, the Digital Cork is burned on-chain and generates Tasting Tokens, digital proofs that you took part in drinking that specific bottle. The owner has a window of a few hours to share Tasting Tokens with their guests, creating a social and collectible dimension to wine culture.

The stack

The platform is built with Django on the backend and React/TypeScript on the frontend, with Solana handling all the on-chain operations (minting, transfers, burns). I handled the full architecture: database design, API, frontend, blockchain integration, and deployment.

Bacchus

DVin also features Bacchus, an AI-powered chatbot that helps users with wine recommendations and food pairings. It adds a discovery layer on top of the marketplace, helping users find bottles they'll actually enjoy.

This project was a great exercise in bridging Web3 concepts with a tangible, real-world product. The challenge wasn't just the blockchain side, it was making the whole experience feel intuitive for people who have never touched a crypto wallet before.
