Face B Vinhos
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our wines, NFTs, rebates, storage and redemption.
The Wine
Where do your wines come from?
Our wines are handcrafted in the Bairrada region of Portugal, a unique terroir that shares its clay-limestone soil with Burgundy and its Atlantic climate with Bordeaux. We work primarily with native Portuguese grapes — Bical for our whites and Baga for our reds — often called the Portuguese Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
What makes Face B wines different?
We make ultra-premium, small-production wines with minimal intervention, letting the terroir speak for itself. Every wine is made to age and improve over time. We focus on scarcity and longevity — these are wines built to be collected, not just consumed.
Are these wines meant to be aged?
Yes. All our wines are crafted with ageing potential in mind. That's the whole logic behind our model: the longer you let the wine rest in our cellar, the more you benefit — both in drinking quality and in rebates.
The NFT & Ownership
Why is each bottle an NFT?
Each bottle exists on-chain as an NFT that represents your ownership of that specific physical bottle. This gives you verifiable proof of ownership, full traceability, and the ability to hold, transfer, or redeem your bottle whenever you choose. The NFT lives on the blockchain until you decide to ship and drink the wine.
Do I need a crypto wallet to buy?
To claim and mint your NFT you will need a wallet, but the process is simple and we guide you through every step after purchase. You can pay for your wine in either fiat card or crypto — the choice is yours.
Can I resell or transfer my bottle?
Yes. Because ownership is represented on-chain, you can transfer your NFT to another wallet. This also opens the door to a secondary market where collectors can trade Face B wines.
What happens if I lose access to my wallet?
Your NFT is tied to your wallet, so we strongly recommend keeping your wallet credentials safe and backed up. If you need help setting up or securing a wallet, reach out to us and we'll point you in the right direction.
Rebates & the Sound Money Model
How do the rebates work?
When you choose to hold your bottle with us instead of shipping it immediately, you can stake your NFT and receive annual price rebates paid in USDC directly to your crypto wallet. It's our way of rewarding you for letting the wine age in ideal conditions — both the winery and the collector share fairly in the value created, with no middlemen in between.
How much do I earn in rebates?
Rebate rates vary by wine and are paid annually as a percentage of the original purchase price. The full rebate schedule is shown on our homepage and detailed in our White Paper.
Why USDC and not Bitcoin?
Rebates are paid in USDC because it provides a stable, predictable value for your yearly rewards. Meanwhile, the winery operates on a Bitcoin standard for its treasury — combining the stability of stablecoin rewards with the long-term conviction of Bitcoin.
How long can I keep my wine staked?
Each wine has a maximum holding period during which rebates are paid. After that period, or whenever you choose, the bottle is shipped to you and rebates stop. The maximum holding period is specified for each wine.
Shipping, Storage & Redeeming
Where is my wine stored?
Your bottles rest in our cellar in Portugal under ideal ageing conditions until you're ready to receive them. This guarantees the wine evolves perfectly until the moment you decide to drink it.
How do I get my wine shipped?
When you're ready, you unstake and burn your NFT to release the bottle for shipping. You can do this at any time or at the end of the maximum rewards period. Shipping costs are paid by the collector at the time of redemption.
Which countries do you ship to?
We ship internationally. Shipping options and costs are calculated at the time you choose to redeem your bottle.
Payment & Getting Started
Can I pay with a regular credit card?
Yes. You can pay in fiat with a standard card through our secure checkout, or pay in crypto if you prefer. Both options are available at checkout.
I bought a bottle — what now?
After your purchase, you'll claim and mint your NFT to your wallet. From there you decide: have the wine shipped right away, or stake it with us to earn rebates while it ages. We walk you through each step.
