Company Summary
Joy of Wine Company is building the compliance infrastructure layer for regulated commerce. Our flagship product, Compliance Vine™, automates multi-state DTC wine compliance — a mandatory, recurring, audit-enforced problem every winery solves today. We replace spreadsheets and 40–80 hours of human labor per month with real-time automation: digitize every transaction, enforce compliance at checkout, and become the single system of record.
