Raskyoli Wine Club & Community.wineby Alessandro Pepe, Lindsay Gabbard
Raskyoli is a wine bar and restaurant in Rome founded by Alessandro Pepe that expanded into a wine club and online educational platform (Community.wine) during the pandemic. After losing approximately 65% of restaurant revenue (down from $200k/month to ~$90k/month), they pivoted to building an online wine community and educational platform with 900 wine club members and 1,200+ community members. The business focuses on teaching wine appreciation through storytelling and cultural context rather than technical sommelier training.
