Release updates

New features, improvements and fixes across FINE+RARE and Vinfolio — from new regional marketplaces to smarter ways to buy, sell and manage your collection. Updated as we ship them, so you always know what's changed.

2026

Apple-pay

Apple Pay has been added as a new payment option across our payment flows."

  • Customers can now pay with Apple Pay when checking out on all of our websites, making a payment from their Portfolio, or paying an Invoice.

  • Apple Pay lets customers complete a payment securely without manually entering their card details, for a faster checkout experience.

Portfolio History Page
  • The Portfolio History page was redesigned to make transaction history clearer and easier to navigate.

  • The previous filters were replaced with four transaction-type indicators — Purchase, Sale, Delivery and Inbound Transfer — each with its own colour and a hover tooltip explaining what it means.

  • History items are now grouped by month and year, with a colour-coded chip per item so different activity types are easy to identify at a glance.

Events and Experiences page
  • A new "Events, Experiences" section was added to the site.

  • A dedicated home for FINE+RARE's calendar of vertical tastings, producer dinners and rare-bottle showcases across London, US, Italy and Hong Kong.

  • Event details, scheduling and location are shown alongside each listing, with tickets purchasable directly from the page.

Place on Sale
  • We released a new way to sell on our platform.

  • After a period of beta testing, we've changed the way you list wine for sale on our global websites.

  • The new selling experience is now live — and it puts the user in full control. Set your own price, supported by real-time market guidance so you can make informed decisions with confidence. See a live breakdown of your net proceeds before you confirm.

  • No automatic withdrawals. A simpler, more transparent way to sell — designed around how collectors actually trade.

  • Italian customers now see VAT-inclusive (gross) pricing.

  • Customers can now split a case holding into individual bottles within their Vinfolio Portfolio.

  • The site now detects a visitor's region and prompts them to switch to their local site.

  • The main navigation menu was redesigned.

  • Added the ability to export a listing to CSV.

  • Vinfolio relaunched as a scalable global platform.

  • Following its acquisition by the FINE+RARE Group in 2022, Vinfolio moved from a traditional exchange to a fully redesigned digital platform, now supporting nearly $750 million in fine wine assets under management across the US, UK, Asia and Europe.
