In addition, users can also buy fractions of a barrel. “For example you buy 27 liters, and you submit your offer,” says the founder.
Crurated’s metaverse is crafted with Unreal Engine 5, celebrated for its ultra-realistic, immersive landscapes in games like Fortnite, in collaboration with Italian Architect Giovanni Francesco Frascino, an expert in real-world spatial design.
By using a VR headset owners can also visit a portal on the Crurated website and explore their exclusive wine cellar in the metaverse, with Apple users set to join by the end of 2024 through Vision Pro. “In your own virtual cellar, you can see in real-time where the bottle is, whether it’s delivered or still with the producer, depending on whether it has been bottled or not,” says Gaetano.
Owners also have the option to invite guests to join them in multiplayer mode, where they can observe the sommelier’s activities, interact with the Curated AI, and gain insights into the bottles. Touching the bottles triggers their history from the blockchain, unveiling an NFT elaborating on the wine’s journey from vineyard to bottle.
“The great thing is that you can showcase all the bottles, and each time you touch it, you can see it is connected to the same NFT you have seen before,” explains Gaetano. “It tells you the year of production and when it left our warehouse, and then you can actually see it as we create a 3D model of every bottle.”
