In the most basic of processes, the drinker buys the wine directly from store.costaflores.com with tokens, and Costaflores organizes delivery.
The drinker buys tokens through the Costaflores vintage ICO, from a crypto exchange or store.costaflores.com, or through a peer-to-peer transaction.
The drinker buys bottles of wine from store.costaflores.com using the tokens. Costaflores.com burns the tokens.
store.costaflores.com charges and invoices the drinker for the shipping and handling services of the bottles.
Costaflores organizes the shipment of the wine to the drinker.
