💸💸 A Most Astonishing Interview: How One Start-Up Plans to Tokenise Your Claret & Make You Regret Every Bottle You Actually Drank 🍷🫖

by

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man-or woman-in possession of a good fortune must be in want of…better wine. Enter Savea, whose ingenuity hath conceived the SAVW, a token so genteelly asset-backed that even Mr Darcy might consent to park a few thousand pounds therein, rather than in another set of white gloves for the Netherfield ball.

“In short,” saith the estimable Mr Sam Mudie, co-founder, “we declined to subscribe to the crypto creed of break-neck haste and neck-breaking losses, preferring a steadier waltz upon the regulatory parquet.”

  • SAVW, a Jersey-governed token, doth replicate the Liv-ex 1000, and is redeemable for neither dance cards nor calling cards, but for honest coin at any hour save the witching one.
  • Investors may approach by carriage (fiat) or by phaeton-and-pair (MetaMask) depending on their courage and fondness for seed phrases.
  • Mr Mudie insists that true tokenisation, unlike certain former NFT follies, shall require real bottles, real audits, and absolutely no disappearing DAOs-heaven forbid!

Imagine, dear reader, a world where port and policy intermingle like hearts at an assembly room: liquidity on a Tuesday midnight, transparency more reliable than Mrs Bennet’s match-making, and a redemption gate of a mere five per cent-small enough even for Lady Catherine to approve. 🫣

Redeem & Rejoice: the Mechanics unmasked

Should an investor hanker for his funds, he may redeem tokens for USDC (a stablecoin as steadfast, one hopes, as Colonel Fitzwilliam’s manners) or for sterling. Bottles themselves will not be delivered to one’s door-forbear!-but instead rest in a Bond-villain-grade warehouse climate-matched to Burgundy’s most delicate sigh.

Exit fees linger at 2 %. A trifle, compared with a dowry settlement-or the emotional toll of drinking one’s entire cellar during lockdown. 😏

“Pray, what of the prior projects-those NFT emporiums hawking individual bottles with all the decorum of a fairground stall?” Our correspondent lifted a brow.

“Frippery,” Mr Mudie retorted, “lacking both regulation and tangible connection to any vineyard west of Vesuvius.”

Epilogue in the Ballroom of Tomorrow

Savea now whispers of expansion: art, watches, perhaps even Georgian town-houses-all reduced to neat 18-decimal ERC-20s. One may laugh, yet $30 trillion reportedly waits in tokenised form by 2030. Even Mr Collins might approve-provided the sermon is smart-contract-audited.

Until then, raise a glass-ideally one still corked and safely off-chain. And if fortune smiles upon your purse as well as your palate, remember: you were warned, you were tempted, and you may yet sip dividends instead of Château d’Yquem. 🥂✨
