Labs

What we build ourselves.

Advice is sharper when you still ship. Labs is where 1891 Ventures builds its own products — and runs the experiments in AI and data that inform the work we do with everyone else.

The Cellar Book

Live

A cellar management app for wine and Champagne collectors — built for people who care what is in the rack, what it cost, when to drink it, and what is worth going back for. Designed around real collecting habits rather than a generic inventory list.
