Problem
The craft wine industry faces challenges in cross-border trade due to complex compliance regulations, opaque pricing, and limited access to international markets for small and medium-sized wineries.

The platform automates customs, tax compliance, and delivery logistics, simplifying the import/export process. Unfia's AI Sommelier provides personalized wine recommendations, enhancing product discovery and matching wines to specific buyer preferences. By connecting producers directly with restaurants, hotels, cafes, and wine shops, Unfia eliminates intermediaries, reduces costs, and expands the availability of exclusive craft wines.
