About Fine+Rare

Fine+Rare has garnered a reputation as the leading online platform for buying and selling fine wines and spirits – as well as enabling hassle-free cellar management, plus innovative, free-to-use portfolio management software.

The Challenge

With its ever-growing global network of producers, agents, reservists and private clients, Fine+Rare has unparalleled access to the wines held in the world’s greatest cellars and collections. Now the company had high-growth plans for its business – but its legacy technology wasn’t up to the task.

The Solution

Fine+Rare began with a hybrid solution of insourcing and outsourcing. This started with one developer from One Beyond and grew to six. Our team helped the business move from a legacy system to a modern, marketplace technology stack. The new architecture was based on Azure platform services.
