 Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking
Statements

 We make forward-looking statements
in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In some cases, you can identify these statements by forward-looking words such as "may,"
"might," "should," "would," "could," "expect," "plan," "anticipate,"
"intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential" or "continue,"
and the negative of these terms and other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements, which are subject to known and unknown
risks, uncertainties, and assumptions about us, may include projections of our future financial performance based on our growth strategies
and anticipated trends in our business. These statements are only predictions based on our current expectations and projections about
future events. There are important factors that could cause our actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to differ
materially from the results, level of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. In

it is not possible to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to
which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

 Although we believe the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, level of activity, performance, or
achievements. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any of these forward-looking statements.
You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The forward-looking statements in this report
represent our views as of the date on which the statements are made. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements

 This Annual Report on Form
10-K includes market data and forecasts with respect to the wine industry. We have obtained this market data and certain industry forecasts
from various independent third-party sources, including industry publications, reports by market research firms, surveys, and other independent
sources. Some data and information are based on management's estimates and calculations, which are derived from our review and interpretation
of internal company research and data, surveys, and independent sources. We believe the data regarding the industry in which we compete
and our market position and market share within this industry generally indicate size, position, and market share within this industry;
however, this data is inherently imprecise and is subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and risks due
to a variety of factors, including those described in "Risk Factors." These and other factors could cause our future performance
to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

 In addition, statements that
"we believe" and similar statements reflect our beliefs and opinions on the relevant subject. These statements are based on
information available to us as of the date of this report. Although we believe that information provides a reasonable basis for these
statements, that information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive
inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly
rely on these statements.

 Risk Factor Summary

 An investment in our common
stock involves a high degree of risk. Any of the factors set forth under "Risk Factors" may limit our ability to successfully
execute our business strategy. You should carefully consider all of the information set forth in this report, and, in particular, you
should evaluate the specific factors set forth under "Risk Factors" in deciding whether to invest in our common stock. Among
these important risks are the following:

 iv

 Risks related to the proposed Merger transaction

 The Exchange Ratio will not change or otherwise be adjusted based on
the market price of our common stock as the exchange ratio depends on, among other things, the relative valuations ascribed to us and
Notes Live and not the market price of our common stock.

 Our stockholders and Notes Live's shareholders may not realize a benefit from the Merger commensurate
with the ownership dilution they will experience.

 Failure to complete the Merger may result in either us or Notes Live paying a termination fee to the other
party.

 The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement must be approved by our stockholders and by Notes
Live's shareholders.

 Our stockholders will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in, and will exercise significantly
less influence over the management of, the combined company following the closing of the Merger.

 During the pendency of the Merger, we may not be able to enter into a business combination with another
party on more favorable terms because of restrictions in the Merger Agreement.

 Certain provisions of the Merger Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover
proposals.

 There is no public market for Notes Live common stock.

 If the conditions to the Merger are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not occur.

 If the Merger is not completed, our board of directors may decide to pursue a dissolution of our company.

 We are substantially dependent on our remaining employees to facilitate the consummation of the Merger.

 Our ability to complete the Fresh Vine Legacy Transaction is uncertain, and we cannot predict the terms
and conditions of any such Fresh Vine Legacy Transaction.

 Lawsuits may be filed in the future against us and the members of our board of directors arising out of
the proposed Merger.

 v

 Risks related to our company and our business

 We have a limited operating history and have generated limited
revenue to date.

 We have not generated profits from operations to date.

 We need to hire additional executive officers and other personnel.

 The success of our existing business depends heavily on the
strength of our wine brand.

 Business growth will place increased demands on our management,
operational and production capabilities.

 Our advertising and promotional investments may affect our
financial results but not be effective.

 We have relied heavily on celebrities to endorse our wines
and market our brand pursuant to license agreements which have been terminated.

 We rely heavily on third-party suppliers and service providers.

 We face significant competition with an increasing number
of products and market participants.

 Consolidation of the distributors of our wines, as well as
the consolidation of retailers, may increase competition in an already crowded space.

 A reduction in consumer demand for wine could materially
and adversely affect our business.

 We are heavily reliant on distributors that resell alcoholic
beverages in all states in which we do business.

 Our marketing strategy involves continued expansion into
the direct-to-consumer channel, which may present risks and challenges for which we are not adequately prepared.

 Inclement weather, drought, pests, plant diseases and other
factors could reduce the amount or quality of the grapes available to produce our wines.

 If we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of premium juice
from third-party juice suppliers, the quantity or quality of our wine production could be adversely affected.

 We may be unable to identify and obtain adequate supplies
of quality agricultural, raw and processed materials, or the cost of the commodities or products may increase.

 We have been engaged in litigation with our former Chief
Operating Officer.

 The impact of U.S. and worldwide economic trends and financial
market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations.

 If we are unable to secure and protect our intellectual property,
the value of our wine brands and intellectual property could decline.

 We may not be fully insured against catastrophic perils,
which may cause us to experience a material financial loss.

 From time to time, we may become subject to litigation.

 A failure of one or more of our key IT systems, networks,
processes, associated sites or service providers could have a material adverse impact on business operations and financial condition.

 vi

 Our failure to adequately maintain and protect the personal
information of our customers or our employees in compliance with evolving legal requirements could have a material adverse effect on
our business.

 Risks related to regulation

 As a producer of alcoholic beverages, we are regularly the
subject of regulatory reviews, proceedings and audits by governmental entities.

 New and changing environmental requirements, and new market
pressures related to climate change, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

 Changes in foreign and domestic laws and government regulations
to which we are currently subject may increase our costs or limit our ability to sell our wines into certain markets.

 Risks related to our common stock

 Our failure to maintain compliance with NYSE American listing
requirements could result in the delisting of our common stock, and our common stock could become subject to the penny stock rules.

 We incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses
associated with being a public company.

 We cannot be certain that the reduced disclosure requirements
applicable to emerging growth companies will not make our shares less attractive to investors.

 We may fail to develop and/or maintain adequate internal
control over financial reporting.

 Provisions of our corporate governance documents could make
an acquisition of our Company more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

 Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted by future
issuances of capital stock.

 An active, liquid trading market for our common stock may
not develop.

 Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market could cause the market
price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is performing well.

 As a public company, we are subject to additional laws, regulations
and stock exchange listing standards, which will result in additional costs to us and may strain our resources and divert our management's
attention.

 We have no current plans to pay cash dividends on our common
stock.

 General risks

 Our operating results and share price may be volatile, and the market price of our common stock may drop
below the price you pay.

 We may require additional debt and equity capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business
opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances.

 ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

Blanc, Ros, Sparkling Ros, and a limited Reserve Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. All varietals have been produced and bottled

 Recent Developments – Anticipated Merger
with Notes Live, Inc.

 On
January 25, 2024, we, FVW Merger Sub, Inc., a Colorado corporation and our wholly-owned
subsidiary ("Merger Sub"), and Notes, Live, Inc., a Colorado corporation ("Notes Live"), entered into an Agreement
and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which, among other things, and subject to the satisfaction or waiver
of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Notes Live, with Notes Live continuing as
a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and the surviving corporation of the merger (the "Merger").

 Notes
Live is a Colorado-based live entertainment and hospitality company that currently operates entertainment campuses in both the Colorado
Springs, Colorado, and Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan areas. Notes Live is also in the process of developing its crown-jewel, the Sunset
Amphitheater collection, a set of luxury outdoor amphitheaters designed to set a new standard in entertainment. The flagship Sunset amphitheater
location in Colorado Springs is in development and scheduled to open in August of 2024. Additional amphitheaters have also been announced
by Notes Live in Oklahoma City and Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and it has plans to expand into the North Texas market.

 Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, (i) each then outstanding share of Notes Live common
stock (collectively, "Notes Live common stock") (which comprises all of Notes Live's outstanding capital stock) will
be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Fresh Vine common stock calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement
(the "Exchange Ratio"), (ii) each then outstanding warrant to purchase Notes Live common stock will be exchanged (or otherwise
amended) for a warrant exercisable (at an exercise price adjusted to reflect to the Exchange Ratio) to acquire that number of shares of
Fresh Vine common stock equal to the number of warrant shares multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (iii) any then outstanding Notes Live
promissory note that is convertible into Notes Live common stock will be exchanged, or otherwise amended, such that it will be convertible
from and after the Merger into shares of Fresh Vine common stock at a per share conversion price adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.
Each share of Fresh Vine common stock and each option and warrant to purchase Fresh
Vine common stock that is outstanding at the effective time of the Merger will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms and such
shares of Fresh Vine common stock, options and warrants will be unaffected by the Merger (subject adjustment based on the proposed Reverse
Stock Split described below).

 The
Exchange Ratio will be calculated using a formula intended to allocate existing Fresh Vine stockholders and Notes Live shareholders a
percentage of the combined company based on agreed upon relative valuations of Fresh Vine and Notes Live in which:

 the Notes Live valuation is equal to $350,875,464, plus an amount equal to the aggregate gross proceeds
received or to be received by Notes Live in a private offering of Notes Live securities being conducted by Notes Live as of the date of
the Merger Agreement (the "Notes Live Financing"); and

 the Fresh Vine Valuation is equal to $18.0 million, plus the amount of any Net Cash Surplus.

 For
such purposes, "Net Cash Surplus" means the amount by which the cash, cash equivalent assets or other liquid assets of Fresh
Vine at the closing of the Merger transaction exceed the Net Cash Target, and the "Net Cash Target" means an aggregate of
$3.5 million; provided that the Net Cash Target will be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis for the gross proceeds of any equity investments
in Notes Live made by Fresh Vine, its affiliates, or persons directly introduced to Notes Live by Fresh Vine or its affiliates from December
1, 2023 through the effective date of the Merger (but not giving effect to the previously disclosed $500,000 equity investment in Notes
Live made by Fresh Vine upon entering into the letter of intent with Note Live for the subject transaction (the "Fresh Vine Equity
Investment")).

 On
a pro forma basis and without adjustment for gross proceeds from the Notes Live Financing or any Net Cash Surplus, pre-Merger Notes Live
shareholders are expected to own approximately 95.1% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the combined company and pre-Merger
Fresh Vine stockholders are expected to own approximately 4.9% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the combined company.

 As
contemplated by the Merger Agreement, Fresh Vine intends to effect a reverse stock split at or around the effect date of the Merger at
a ratio that results in the Fresh Vine common stock satisfying the initial listing standards of the NYSE American stock exchange (the
"NYSE American") and the exchange ratio in the Merger being as near to one as reasonably practicable (i.e., so that each share
of Notes Live capital stock will be exchanged in the Merger for approximately one share of Fresh Vine common stock) (the "Reverse
Stock Split").

 At
the effective time of the Merger, the board of directors of Fresh Vine is expected to consist of seven members, all of whom will be designated
by Notes Live.

 Each
of Fresh Vine and Notes Live has agreed to customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement, including, among
others, covenants relating to (a) the conduct of their respective businesses during the period between the date of signing the Merger
Agreement and the closing of the Merger, (b) non-solicitation of alternative acquisition proposals, (c) Fresh Vine filing with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and causing to become effective a registration statement on Form S-4 to register
the shares of Fresh Vine common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger (the "Registration Statement"), (d) Notes
Live obtaining shareholder approval for the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transaction contemplated thereby, (e) Fresh Vine
calling, giving notice of and holding the Fresh Vine Shareholder Meeting (as defined below), (f) Fresh Vine and Notes Live using reasonable
best efforts to file or otherwise submit applications, notices, reports and other documents reasonably required to be filed or otherwise
submitted to any governmental authority with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (g) Fresh Vine using commercially
reasonable efforts to maintain the existing listing of Fresh Vine common stock on the NYSE American and to obtain approval of the listing
of the combined company's common stock on the NYSE American, and (h) Fresh Vine and Notes Live using commercially reasonable efforts
to coordinate with respect to compliance with NYSE American rules and regulations. In addition, the Merger Agreement requires that, on
or prior to the closing of the Merger, Fresh Vine shall engage in a sale, license, transfer, disposition, divestiture or other monetization
transaction, or winding down of Fresh Vine's current wine production business (the "Fresh Vine Legacy Business"), or
the sale, license, transfer, disposition, divestiture or other monetization transaction or other disposition of the assets comprising
the Fresh Vine Legacy Business and in connection therewith causing any and all known obligations or liabilities associated with such assets
and the conduct of the Fresh Vine Legacy Business operations to be satisfied (the "Fresh Vine Legacy Transaction").

 Consummation
of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions, including, among other things, (a) approval by Fresh Vine stockholders of
the Fresh Vine Shareholder Matters (as defined below), (b) approval by Notes Live shareholders of, among other things, the adoption
of the Merger Agreement, (c) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (d) NYSE American's approval of the listing of
the shares of Fresh Vine common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger (under the ticker symbol "VENU"), and,
if applicable, NYSE American's approval of an initial listing application for the combined company, (e) if applicable, the
completion of required filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and the expiration or termination any
waiting period applicable to the consummation of the Merger, (f) the absence of material adverse effects impacting Fresh Vine or
Notes Live, (g) Fresh Vine having cash, cash equivalent assets or other liquid assets at the closing of the Merger in an amount that
equals or exceeds the Net Cash Target, and having no liabilities on its balance sheet or unpaid or unsatisfied obligations that will
require a cash expenditure by Fresh Vine after the effective time of the Merger, (h) the absence of dissenting Notes Live
shareholders, and (i) the entry by Notes Live into lock-up and leak-out arrangements with its shareholders to its satisfaction. In
addition, the closing of the Merger is conditioned upon Fresh Vine having completed the Fresh Vine Legacy Transaction, or
discontinued the Fresh Vine Legacy Business, in a manner reasonably acceptable to Notes Live. Each party's obligation to
consummate the Merger is also subject to other specified customary conditions, including without limitation regarding the accuracy
of the representations and warranties of the other party and the performance in all material respects by the other party of its
obligations under the Merger Agreement required to be performed on or prior to the date of the closing of the Merger.

 The
Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of each of Fresh Vine and Notes Live. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under
specified circumstances, Fresh Vine may be required to pay Notes Live a termination fee of $1.0 million and/or reimburse Notes Live's
expenses up to a maximum of $500,000, and Notes Live may be required to pay Fresh Vine a termination fee of $1.0 million, reimburse Fresh
Vine's expenses up to a maximum of $500,000, and/or, at the election of Fresh Vine, redeem the Fresh Vine Equity Investment at the
same price per share as the purchase price paid by Fresh Vine therefor.

 In
connection with the Merger, Fresh Vine expects to seek the approval of its stockholders for, among other things, (a) the issuance of the
shares of Fresh Vine common stock issuable in connection with the Merger and the change of control of Fresh Vine resulting from the Merger
pursuant to the rules of the NYSE American, (b) amendments to the Fresh Vine Articles of Incorporation to change the name of Fresh Vine
to "Notes Live Holding Corp." and, solely if doing so will not violate the rules and regulations of NYSE American, cause its
authorized common stock to be divided into two or more separate classes or series, (c) an amendment to the Fresh Vine Articles of Incorporation
to effect the Reverse Stock Split; (d) upon conversion or exchange of Fresh Vine Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the issuance of
shares of Fresh Vine common stock in excess of the "Exchange Share Cap" and "Individual Holder Share Cap" limitations
provided for in the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, (e)
the liquidation, spinning-out, distribution, or other disposition or discontinuance of the Fresh Vine Legacy Business, and (f) any other
proposal to be agreed upon by Fresh Vine and Notes Live in furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (collectively,
the "Fresh Vine Shareholder Matters" and such meeting, the "Fresh Vine Shareholder Meeting").

 The
transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are anticipated to close in June 2024, subject to approval by Fresh Vine's stockholders,
and the satisfaction or waiver of various additional closing conditions.

 The
preceding summary of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger
Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 29, 2024 and which is incorporated herein by
reference. The Merger Agreement is not intended to provide factual information about Fresh Vine or Notes Live or to modify or supplement
any factual disclosures about Fresh Vine in this report of its other public filings with the SEC. The Merger Agreement includes representations,
warranties and covenants of Fresh Vine, Notes Live and Merger Sub made solely for the purpose of the Merger Agreement and solely for the
benefit of the parties thereto in connection with the negotiated terms of the Merger Agreement. Moreover, certain of those representations
and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different
from those generally applicable to SEC filings or may have been used for purposes of allocating risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement,
rather than establishing matters of fact. Investors and stockholders are not third-party beneficiaries under the Merger Agreement. Accordingly,
investors should not rely on the representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement or any descriptions thereof as characterizations
of the actual state of facts or conditions of Fresh Vine, Notes Live or any of their respective affiliates.

 Important Additional Information

 In connection with the proposed
transaction, Fresh Vine will file materials with the SEC, including a registration statement on Form S-4 (Form S-4), which will include
a document that serves as a proxy statement/prospectus of Fresh Vine and an information statement of Notes Live, and other documents regarding

 Our Existing Business

 We are a premier producer
of low carb, low calorie, premium wines in the United States. Founded in 2019, Fresh Vine Wine brings an innovative "better-for-you"
solution to the wine market. Offering bold, crisp, and creamy wines that embody health, warmth, and a deeper connection to wellness and
an active lifestyle, we offer a unique and innovative collection of today's most popular varietals. We currently sell seven proprietary
varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Ros, Sparkling Ros, and a limited Reserve Napa
Cabernet Sauvignon. All varietals have been produced and bottled in Napa, California.

 Our wines are focused on
the affordable luxury segment. Importantly, our wines stand out in the luxury wine market because they address the preferences of our
target demographic of consumers with moderate to affluent income and with a desire to pursue a healthy and active lifestyles for a low-calorie,
low-carb, gluten-free product, while concurrently delivering the quality and taste profile of a premium wine brand. This allows us to
position our wines in the "better for you" segment that seeks to appeal to consumers' emphasis on a healthy lifestyle.
While we believe our product offerings have mass appeal among all consumers of affordable luxury wines, we have positioned the Fresh Vine
Wine brand as a complement to the healthy and active lifestyles of younger generation wine consumers.

 Our core wine offerings are
priced strategically to appeal to mass markets and sell at a list price between $15 and $25 per bottle - price points that support a premium
product strategy, appeal to mass markets, and allow us to offer significant value across all consumer distribution channels. Given the
Fresh Vine Wine brand's "better-for-you" appeal and overall product quality, we believe that it presents today's
consumers with a unique value proposition within this price category.

 As a testament to the quality of our varietals, in September 2022
we announced that The Tasting Panel Magazine and The Somm Journal, two highly regarded wine publications, had awarded Fresh Vine Wine's
California Cabernet Sauvignon, 2020 Vintage, a 92 Rating (out of 100). This is the second of our varietals to receive a 92 Rating during
2022, with our Limited Reserve Napa Cabernet Sauvignon receiving a Rating of 92 from James Suckling, regarded as one of the world's
most influential wine critics, in July. Also, in July 2022, our 2020 California Pinot Noir and California 2021 Ros varietals
were awarded Bronze Medals by TEXSOM. In 2022, Fresh Vine Wine varietals were recognized by various industry authorities with a total
of 16 separate awards.

 Our wines are distributed
across the United States and Puerto Rico through wholesale, retail, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels. We are able to conduct wholesale
distribution of our wines in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and we are licensed to sell through DTC channels in 43 states. As of December
31, 2023, we hold active relationships with wholesale distributors in 50 states. We are working with leading distributors, including Southern
Glazer's Wine & Spirits (SGWS), Johnson Brothers, and Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC), to continue and expand
our presence across the contiguous United States.

 Our DTC channel enables us
to sell wine directly to the consumer at full retail prices. Although these prices are consistent with our suggested retail prices (SRPs),
we incur two mark-ups of approximately 30% each for our distributor and retail partners when selling wine through our wholesale distribution
channel, therefore directly reducing our revenue and margins. Because the DTC channel provides significantly higher margins than sales
generated through wholesale distributors, we intend to further invest in DTC capabilities to ensure it remains an integral part of our
business. We also believe continued investment in DTC technologies and capabilities are critical to maintaining an intimate relationship
with our customers, which is becoming increasingly digital. In addition, we also sell through alternative DTC sales platforms, such as
ecommerce marketplaces, product aggregators and virtual distributors, all of which have experienced significant recent growth, as well
as sales through home delivery services.

 We do not own or operate
any vineyards. Instead of cultivating our own grapes, we have used Fior di Sole, a third-party supplier, to source grapes. This allows
us to leverage our supplier's broad network of vendor relationships and purchasing power to negotiate favorable cost structures.
Because our supplier procures product inputs on our behalf, including bulk juice, we do not currently engage directly with grape growers
("growers") or bulk distributors of juice ("bulk distributors"). As a result, we have limited front-end supply
chain visibility. This is a strategy by design that we believe provides us with access to diversified growers and large distributors,
which reduces our reliance upon any single vendor and mitigates our exposure to droughts, wildfires, spoilage, contamination and other
supply side risks common to the wine industry.

 Our supplier procures grapes
and/or juice for our existing varietals from California. This juice is then stored in Napa until time of production, at which point it
is made available for blending and bottling processes at our Napa Valley production and bottling facility. This is significant in that
both blending and bottling must occur within Napa to be considered produced and bottled in Napa — a distinctive product
attribute that adds significant production value to our brand in the eyes of consumers. However, wine produced by the Company will only
be labelled with a Napa Valley appellation of origin if it is produced from grapes grown in the Napa Valley American Viticultural Area
(AVA). The labels for the Company's core wines identify California as the appellation of origin.

 Our asset-light operating
model allows us to utilize third-party assets, including land and production facilities. This approach helps us mitigate many of
the risks associated with agribusiness, such as isolated droughts or fires. Because we source product inputs from multiple geographically
dispersed vendors, we reduce reliance on any one vendor and benefit from broad availability/optionality of product inputs. This is particularly
important as a California-based wine producer where droughts or fires can have an extremely detrimental impact to a company's
supply chain if not diversified.

 Our Strengths

 Differentiated Product Offerings — Premium, Napa
Valley Wines within the "Better-For-You" Segment

 We offer wines that are differentiated
from those sold by other wine producers operating within the better-for-you segment of the affordable luxury category based on our
premium quality, our association with an award-winning winemaker and our Napa Valley based state of the art production.

 Premium Wines. Premium wines are differentiated from other varietals based on consumers' perception and expectation that they are of exceptional quality. We have developed a proprietary winemaking process that produces superior quality and taste in the affordable luxury wine category based on consumer preferences data, direct consumer feedback and careful market research. Importantly, our current wines stand out in the luxury wine market because they address consumers' growing preference for a less-calorie, less-carb, less sugar and gluten-free option, while concurrently delivering the quality and taste profile of a premium wine brand.

 Award-Winning Winemaker. We conducted an international search to find an accomplished winemaker who shared the Fresh Vine Wine vision and have entered into an agreement with Jamey Whetstone, an established, award winning winemaker from Napa Valley, to develop our wines. Consulting with the Fresh Vine Wine brand compliments Mr. Whetstone's lifestyle as an active surfer, skier, and all-around outdoorsman. His passion for winemaking is mirrored by his passion for adventure, and he too wanted to create a better-for-you wine that customers can be proud to bring to the table for any occasion. We believe it is unique for a high-profile winemaker like Mr. Whetstone to attach his name and reputation to a brand in the better-for-you wine segment, and we believe that Mr. Whetstone's association with our brand increases consumer awareness and speaks to the quality of our varietals.

 Produced and Bottled in Napa Valley. Importantly, we are able to market our wines as being produced and bottled in Napa Valley, California. We believe that this designation impacts consumption decisions of many wine drinkers, as Napa Valley-produced wines are considered by many to be a sign of superior production quality. However, wine produced by the Company will only be labelled with a Napa Valley appellation of origin if it is produced from grapes grown in the Napa Valley American Viticultural Area (AVA). The labels for the Company's existing wines identify California as the appellation of origin. Currently, this only applies to our Reserve wine.

 Capital-Efficient and Scalable Operational Structure

 We have strategically structured
our organization and operations to minimize our capital investment requirements while maintaining flexibility to rapidly scale our production
capabilities to meet consumer demands. We do this by utilizing internal capabilities while leveraging a network of reputable third-party
providers with industry experience and expertise that we use to perform various functions falling outside our internal core competencies.

 Production and Bottling on an Alternating Proprietorship
Basis

 We contracted with Fior di
Sole, an industry leading packaging innovation and wine production company based in Napa Valley, California, to serve as a "host
winery" and to occupy a portion of its production and warehouse facility and utilize its production equipment on an alternating
proprietorship basis. Under this arrangement, we used capacity at Fior di Sole's production facility at times mutually convenient
to us and Fior di Sole to produce and bottle our wines for an initial set-up fee and a recurring monthly fee. Fior di Sole was responsible
for keeping its production equipment in good operating order. When the alternating Premises was operated by or used on behalf of our Company,
it was operated pursuant to our federal basic permit and California winegrower's license. Under our agreement with Fior di Sole,
we were solely responsible for managing and conducting our own winemaking activities and we made all production decisions relating to
our wines. However, we could have requested the use of Fior di Sole's personnel to perform crush, fermentation, blending, cellar,
warehousing, barrel topping and/or bottling services for additional fees. This arrangement had allowed us to commence our operations and
build the Fresh Vine Wine brand without having to incur the considerable overhead costs involved with the purchase or full-time lease
of a production facility. The term of the agreement commenced in July 2019, had an initial term of one year and automatically renews for
additional one-year terms unless either party provides 90 days written notice to the other of its intent to terminate at the end of the
then current term. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days written notice if the other party is in violation of any law
or regulation that renders it impossible to perform its obligations under the agreement for a period of greater than 30 days, makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or files for bankruptcy protection, or is in material breach of its obligations under the agreement
and such failure to perform is not cured within 30 days of written notice from the other party.

 Fior di Sole also provided
us with capacity juice and blends, finishes, bottles, stops, labels and packages our wine, which reduced our internal overhead expenses
and allowed us to benefit from that company's increased purchasing power. Fior di Sole provided these services on a purchase order
basis, which purchase orders were subject to the parties' mutual agreement and governed by a Custom Winemaking and Bottling Agreement.
This agreement outlined the schedule for placing orders, the responsibility and schedule for delivery of production materials, procedures
for establishing the wine bottling date and delivery date. We were required to remit 20% of the amount due for wine produced, bottled
and packaged pursuant to this agreement upon our submission of a purchase order. The payment advance was used by Fior Di Sole to reserve
or procure materials on our behalf with additional vendors for bottles, boxes, corks, labels, juice, and other inputs. We, or our winemaker
on our behalf, oversaw the production at the winery and approved all components and aspects of the production process. The balance of
the amount due for wine produced, bottled and packaged (the remaining 80%) was due following our quality review and acceptance of the
finished product. This agreement was terminated in December 2023.

 Licensing, Tax and Regulatory Compliance

 We have contracted
with a third-party to manage our regulatory licensing and compliance activities. We maintain licenses that enable us to distribute
our wine to all 50 states, and to sell direct-to-consumer from our e-commerce website in 48 states. We currently utilize software
tools available to the industry and work with our license compliance service provider to navigate and manage the complex state-by-state tax
and other regulations that apply to our operations in the beverage alcohol industry. This has enabled us to reduce the administrative
burden of tax compliance, reporting and product registration.

 We believe that leveraging
our network of supply chain and compliance partners, consultants and service providers enables us to avoid potential costly and lengthy
delays on nearly every aspect of our business, from grapes to packaging materials, and will accelerate our return on capital due to our
limited need to procure expensive equipment, real estate, and other capital-intensive resources.

 Sales and Marketing Strategy

 Omni-Channel Marketing
Approach

 Today's consumers interact
with brands through many channels, from traditional media to social media and other digital channels, and through various in-person and
online purchasing methods. In order to build the visibility of our brand and create a grassroots consumer following to support our DTC
distribution channel, we have employed a strategic omnichannel marketing approach that we believe allows us to engage with our target
consumers on their terms to expand and deepen their recognition of our brand. In addition to other mass market promotional activities,
our marketing strategy also utilizes modern techniques, efficiency measures, and channels not commonly seen in the wine industry, including
a combination of social media lifestyle and wine influencer activities, through which brand ambassadors or "influencers" may
conduct promotional activities through the Company's or their own social media channels including, but not limited to, Twitter,
Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube and Pinterest, among others.

 As we expand our marketing
presence and drive visibility through traditional and modern marketing methods, we expect to build awareness and name recognition for
Fresh Vine Wine in consumers' minds. Brand awareness will be built substantially through social media channels. Our brand, and to
a large extent our direct-to-consumer sales outlet, has historically been dependent on the image and popularity of, and affinity towards,
Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough. Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough served as celebrity spokespersons and ambassadors of our company, and actively
endorsed our wines on their sizable social media and other outlets pursuant to agreements that granted us licenses to use their pre-approved
name, likeness, image, and other indicia of identity, as well as certain content published on their social media and other channels, on
and in conjunction with the sale and related pre-approved advertising and promotion of our wine. Such license agreements terminated on
September 7, 2023 and, as a result, we will be required to refocus our marketing and brand promotion efforts. See "Item 1A Risk
Factors - We have relied heavily on celebrities to endorse our wines and market our brand pursuant to license agreements which have been
terminated."

 Professional Sports Sponsorships

 We have previously entered
into sponsorship agreements with professional sports organizations and venues spanning all four major United States professional
sports leagues, which support our commitment and outreach to consumers focused on active and healthy lifestyles, including agreements
with the following organizations and/or their affiliates:

 Washington Capitals (NHL) and Washington Wizards (NBA)

 Tampa Bay Rays (MLB)

 Washington Commanders (NFL)

 These sponsorship arrangements
generally provide us with advertising placements at the stadiums and arenas during sporting and concert events, as well as specified media
and other advertising and promotional benefits, in exchange for our payment of annual sponsorship fees.

 We completed our sponsorship
agreement with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2023. We intend to reduce or cancel the remaining sponsorships and do not anticipate pursuing new
professional sports sponsorships as part of our marketing and brand awareness initiatives going forward since our brand has reached national
retail distribution.

 Labelling and Innovative
Packaging Initiatives

 We believe wine labelling
can have a big impact on consumers' purchasing practices. We conduct market research to validate the consistency of our wine labels
with our brand narrative. Packaging also continues to be a key driver of brand perception, and we are exploring "active lifestyle
packaging" alternatives to traditional bottling that provides an opportunity for our customers to enjoy Fresh Vine Wines in non-traditional settings
now and for future years, including bottles with screw-off caps, aluminum cans, and smaller size bottles and cans that can be
taken on-the-go and are ideal for in-store point of purchase sales.

 Engagement with Industry Experienced Third
Party Vendors

 In October 2022, we
executed a strategy that is aimed at amplifying cash preservation initiatives while continuing to focus on accelerating sales growth.
The plan resulted in the termination of ten employees on the Company's internal sales team and the engagement by the Company of
a third party sales and distribution management company positioned to more efficiently and effectively facilitate current and future product
sales. In addition, the Company engaged a reputable third party vendor to manage marketing initiatives and drive growth primarily within
the Company's Direct-to-Consumer sales channel.

 Related party services

 In October 2021, the
Company entered into a service agreement with Appellation Brands, LLC, a related party in the wine industry due to common ownership, to
provide representation and distribution services. As of June 15, 2022, the original agreement was terminated. Prior to termination, the
Company provided access to new markets and retail and wholesale customers to the related party. In exchange for these services, the Company
received a management fee of $50,000 per month plus a tiered fee ranging between $5.00 and $6.50 per case of the products sold. For the
year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $297,224 in service revenue related to this agreement. In September 2022, the Company
entered into a new distribution agreement with Appellation Brands, LLC to purchase approximately $195,000 of wine inventory and sell directly
to our customers. Sales associated with the new agreement are recorded within wholesale revenue beginning September 1, 2022. Total sales
for the year ended December 31, 2023 associated with the new agreement was approximately $16,000. After our sales of the Appellation Brands,
LLC wine inventory was completed, our affiliation with Appellation Brands, LLC ceased altogether.

 Our Strategy for Growth

 We have been executing the following strategies
to gain brand and product visibility and increase sales and market share:

 Continuing to establish brand visibility, awareness and credibility through mass and micro marketing tactics
and association with other strong brands. These range from organic to paid media.

 Continuing to build grass roots demand through high visibility sales and marketing activities that promote
high margin DTC and home delivery sales channels, including continued investment in DTC technologies and capabilities that are critical
to maintaining an intimate relationship with consumers.

 Expanding our U.S.-based wholesale and retail distribution network by leveraging our product and brand
differentiation, the emerging better-for-you category and to provide distribution partners with a differentiated value proposition.

 Pursuing distribution of our wines internationally.

 Embracing disruptive technologies and customer trends, and exploring and expanding partnerships with other
organizations investing in customer-centric technologies, such as home delivery, third party wine clubs and evolving alternative DTC purchasing
methods, such as ecommerce marketplaces, product aggregators and virtual distributors.

 Expanding and strengthening key supply chain relationships, including with current and future juice suppliers,
bottlers, materials suppliers, and dry goods suppliers, to establish a diversified portfolio of partners across all areas of our supply
chain and to maintain effective capital management.

 Continuing to add to the Fresh Vine Wine product portfolio by developing new varietals that fit within
the better-for-you category and are consistent with our existing brand.

 Continuing to invest in packaging innovation, including "active lifestyle packaging" alternatives
to traditional bottling that provides an opportunity for our customers to enjoy Fresh Vine Wines in non-traditional settings.

 Capitalizing on upward price mobility - While many other wine companies are experiencing downward price
pressure to enter the coveted under $30 category, our wines currently sell for suggested retail prices ranging from $15 to $25 per bottle.

 Developing additional wine brands by replicating the strategies used to build the Fresh Vine Wine brand
via business service line agreements.

 With over 500,000 licensed
retail accounts (according to Neilson) in the United States, there remains ample opportunity to continue broadening distribution
of our wines as well as increasing the volume of wine sold to existing accounts.

 Competition

 The wine industry and alcohol
markets generally are intensely competitive. Our wines compete domestically and internationally with other premium or higher quality wines
produced in Europe, South America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand, as well as North America. Our wines compete on the basis of
quality, price, brand recognition and distribution capability. The ultimate consumer has many choices of products from both domestic and
international producers. Our wines may be considered to compete with all alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

 At any given time, there
are more than 400,000 wine choices available to consumers, differing with one another based on vintage, variety or blend, location and
other factors. Accordingly, we experience competition from nearly every segment of the wine industry. Additionally, some of our competitors
have greater financial, technical, marketing and other resources, offer a wider range of products, and have greater name recognition,
which may give them greater negotiating leverage with distributors and allow them to offer their products in more locations and/or on
better terms than us. Nevertheless, we believe that our brand offerings, scalable infrastructure and relationships with one of the largest
domestic distributors will allow us to continue growing our business.

 IT Systems

 We rely on various IT systems,
owned by us and third parties, to effectively manage our sales and marketing, accounting, financial, legal and compliance functions. Our
website is hosted by a third party, and we rely on third-party vendors for regulatory compliance for order processing, shipments,
and e-commerce functionality. We believe these systems are scalable to support our growth plans. We recognize the value of enhancing and
extending the uses of information technology in our business.

 Regulatory Matters

 Regulatory framework

 We, along with our contract
growers, producers, manufacturers, distributors, retail accounts and ingredients and packaging suppliers, are subject to extensive regulation
in the United States by federal, state and local government authorities with respect to registration, production processes, product
attributes, packaging, labelling, storage and distribution of wine and other products we make.

 We are also subject to state
and local tax requirements in all states where our wine is sold. We monitor the requirements of relevant jurisdictions to maintain compliance
with all tax liability and reporting matters. In California, we are subject to a number of governmental authorities, and are also subject
to city and county building, land use, licensing and other codes and regulations.

 Alcohol-related regulation

 We are subject to extensive
regulation in the United States by federal, state and local laws regulating the production, distribution and sale of consumable food
items, and specifically alcoholic beverages, including by the TTB and the FDA. The TTB is primarily responsible for overseeing alcohol
production records supporting tax obligations, issuing wine labelling guidelines, including grape source and bottle fill requirements,
as well as reviewing and issuing certificates of label approval, which are required for the sale of wine through interstate commerce.
We carefully monitor compliance with TTB rules and regulations, as well as the state law of each state in which we sell our wines. In
California, where most of our wines are made, we are subject to alcohol-related licensing and regulations by many authorities, including
the ABC. ABC agents and representatives investigate applications for licenses to sell alcoholic beverages, report on the moral character
and fitness of alcohol license applicants and the suitability of premises where sales are to be conducted and enforce California alcoholic
beverages laws. We are subject to municipal authorities with respect to aspects of our operations, including the terms of our use permits.
These regulations may limit the production of wine and control the sale of wine, among other elements.

 Employee and occupational safety regulation

 We are subject to certain
state and federal employee safety and employment practices regulations, including regulations issued pursuant to the U.S. Occupational
Safety and Health Act ("OSHA"), and regulations governing prohibited workplace discriminatory practices and conditions, including
those regulations relating to COVID-19 virus transmission mitigation practices. These regulations require us to comply with manufacturing
safety standards, including protecting our employees from accidents, providing our employees with a safe and non-hostile work environment
and being an equal opportunity employer. In California, we are also subject to employment and safety regulations issued by state and local
authorities.

 Environmental regulation

 As a result of our wine production
activities, we and certain third parties with which we work are subject to federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations.
Federal regulations govern, among other things, air emissions, wastewater and stormwater discharges, and the treatment, handling and storage
and disposal of materials and wastes. State environmental regulations and authorities intended to address and oversee environmental issues
are largely state-level analogues to federal regulations and authorities intended to perform the similar purposes. In California,
we are also subject to state-specific rules, such as those contained in the California Environmental Quality Act, California Air
Resources Act, Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, California Water Code sections 13300-13999 and Title 23 of the
California Administrative Code and various sections of the Health and Safety Code. We are subject to local environmental regulations that
address a number of elements of our wine production process, including air quality, the handling of hazardous waste, recycling, water
use and discharge, emissions and traffic impacts.

 Labelling regulation

 Many of our wines are identified
by their appellation of origin, which are among the most highly regarded wine growing regions in the world. An appellation may be present
on a wine label only if it meets the requirements of applicable state and federal regulations that seek to ensure the consistency and
quality of wines from a specific territory. These appellations designate the specific geographic origin of most or all (depending on the
appellation) of the wine's grapes, and can be a political subdivision (e.g., a country, state or county) or a designated viticultural
area. The rules for vineyard designation are similar. Although we expect that most of our labels will maintain the same appellation of
origin from year to year, we may choose to change the appellation of one or more of our wines from time to time to take advantage of high-quality grapes
in other areas or to change the profile of a wine.

 Privacy and security regulation

 We collect personal information
from individuals. Accordingly, we are subject to several data privacy and security related regulations, including but not limited to:
U.S. state privacy, security and breach notification laws; the GDPR; and other European privacy laws as well as privacy laws being
adopted in other regions around the world. In addition, the FTC and many state attorneys general are interpreting existing federal and
state consumer protection laws to impose evolving standards for the online collection, use, dissemination and security of information
about individuals. Certain states have also adopted robust data privacy and security laws and regulations. For example, the CCPA, which
took effect in 2020, imposes obligations and restrictions on businesses regarding their collection, use, and sharing of personal information
and provides new and enhanced data privacy rights to California residents, such as affording them the right to access and delete their
personal information and to opt out of certain sharing of personal information. In response to the data privacy laws and regulations discussed
above and those in other countries in which we do business, we have implemented several technological safeguards, processes, contractual
third-party provisions, and employee trainings to help ensure that we handle information about our employees and customers in a compliant
manner. We maintain a global privacy policy and related procedures, and we train our workforce to understand and comply with applicable
privacy laws.

 Intellectual Property

 We strive to protect the
reputation of our wine brand. We establish, protect and defend our intellectual property in a number of ways, including through employee
and third-party nondisclosure agreements, copyright laws, domestic and foreign trademark protections, intellectual property licenses
and social media and information security policies for employees. We have been granted three (3) trademark registrations in the United States
for FRESH VINE, FRESH VINE (Stylized), and our FV Logo, and numerous trademark registrations
in other countries for the FRESH VINE mark, and we have filed, and expect to continue to file, trademark applications seeking to protect
any newly-developed wine brands. We have also been granted a copyright registration in the first version of our website located at www.freshvine.com.
Information contained on or accessible through our website is not incorporated by reference in or otherwise a part of this report. As
a copyright exists in a work of art once it is fixed in tangible medium, we intend to continue to file copyright applications to protect
newly-developed works of art that are important to our business.

 We also rely on, and carefully
protect, proprietary knowledge and expertise, including the sources of certain supplies, formulations, production processes, innovation
regarding product development and other trade secrets necessary to maintain and enhance our competitive position.

 Seasonality

 There is a degree of seasonality
in the growing cycles, procurement and transportation of grapes. The wine industry in general tends to experience seasonal fluctuations
in revenue and net income, with lower sales and net income during the quarter spanning January through March and higher sales and net
income during the quarter spanning from October through December due to the usual timing of seasonal holiday buying. As our operations
expand, we expect that we will be impacted by the seasonality experienced in the wine industry generally.

 Employees

 As of December 31, 2023,
we had approximately four full-time employees. All of our employees are employed in the United States. None of our employees
are represented by a labor union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We consider our relationship with our employees to be
good.

 Legal Proceedings

 We may be subject to
legal disputes and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Except as disclosed in " Item 3 - Legal Proceedings,"
we are not a party or subject to any pending legal proceedings the resolution of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on
our business, operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

 Corporate History

 We were initially organized
on May 8, 2019 as a Texas limited liability company under the name "Fresh Grapes, LLC." In connection with our initial
public offering, on December 8, 2021, we converted from a Texas limited liability company into a Nevada corporation and changed our
name from Fresh Grapes, LLC to Fresh Vine Wine, Inc., which we refer to herein as the "LLC Conversion." In conjunction with
the LLC Conversion, all of our outstanding units were converted into shares of our common stock based on the relative ownership interests
of our pre-IPO equity holders. While operating as a limited liability company, our outstanding equity was referred to as "units."
In this report, for ease of comparison, we may refer to such units as our common stock for periods prior to the LLC Conversion, unless
otherwise indicated in this report. Similarly, unless otherwise indicated, we may refer to members' equity in this report as stockholders'
equity. Further, while operating as a limited liability company, our governing body was referred to as our Board of Managers, with the
members thereof being referred to as "Managers." We may refer to such governing body throughout this report as our board of
directors and such individuals as our directors.

 Company Website Access and SEC Filings

 We make available on the
Investor Relations section of our website, free of charge, our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q,
current reports on Form 8-K, Proxy Statements, and Forms 3, 4 and 5, and amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably
practicable after filing such documents with, or furnishing such documents to, the SEC. The SEC maintains a website ( www.sec.gov)
that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.

 Our website is www.freshvinewine.com.
We have included our website address in this report as an inactive textual reference only. Information contained on or accessible through
our website is not incorporated by reference in or otherwise a part of this report.

 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

 Our company and business involves
a number of challenges and risks. In addition to the other information in this report, you should consider carefully the following risk
factors in evaluating us and our business. The risks described below are not the only ones that we face. Additional risks not presently
known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our business, financial condition, operating results, or prospects. In
assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information contained in this report, including our financial statements and
related notes.

 Risks related to the proposed Merger transaction

 The Exchange Ratio
will not change or otherwise be adjusted based on the market price of our common stock as the exchange ratio depends on, among other things,
the relative valuations ascribed to us and Noted Live upon entry into the Merger Agreement and not the market price of our common stock,
so the merger consideration at the closing of the Merger may have a greater or lesser value than at the time the Merger Agreement was
signed.

 On January 25, 2024, we,
Merger Sub (our wholly-owned subsidiary) and Notes Live entered into the Merger Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, and subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and into Notes Live,
with Notes Live continuing as our wholly-owned subsidiary and the surviving corporation in the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions
of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, and among other things, each then outstanding share of Notes Live common stock
will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Fresh Vine common stock calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement
(the "Exchange Ratio"), (ii) each then outstanding warrant to purchase Notes Live common stock will be exchanged (or otherwise
amended) for a warrant exercisable (at an exercise price adjusted to reflect to the Exchange Ratio) to acquire that number of shares of
Fresh Vine common stock equal to the number of warrant shares multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (iii) any then outstanding Notes Live
promissory note that is convertible into Notes Live common stock will be exchanged, or otherwise amended, such that it will be convertible
from and after the Merger into shares of Fresh Vine common stock at a per share conversion price adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.

 The Merger Agreement has
set the calculation of the Exchange Ratio based on the relative valuations ascribed to us and Noted Live upon entry into the Merger Agreement,
which in turn will be adjusted to reflect the amount of gross proceeds received or to be received by Notes Live in its private offering
of securities conducted by Notes Live as of the date of the Merger Agreement and the Net Cash Surplus, if any, of Fresh Vine on the closing
date of the Merger (as well as the impact of the Reverse Stock Split). The Merger Agreement does not include a price-based termination
right. Therefore, if before the completion of the Merger the market price of our common stock declines from the market price on the date
of the Merger Agreement, then Notes Live's shareholders could receive merger consideration with substantially lower value than the
value of such merger consideration on the date of the Merger Agreement. Similarly, if before the completion of the Merger the market price
of our common stock increases from the market price of our common stock on the date of the Merger Agreement, then Notes Live's shareholders
could receive Merger consideration with substantially greater value than the value of such merger consideration on the date of the Merger
Agreement. Because the Exchange Ratio does not adjust as a direct result of changes in the market price of our common stock, changes in
the market price of our common stock will change the value of the total Merger consideration payable to Notes Live's shareholders.

 Stock price changes may result
from a variety of factors, including changes in our or Notes Live's respective businesses, operations and prospects, market assessments
of the likelihood that the Merger will be completed, the timing of the Merger, and general market, industry and economic conditions.

 Our stockholders
and Notes Live's shareholders may not realize a benefit from the Merger commensurate with the ownership dilution they will experience
in connection with the Merger.

 If
the combined company is unable to realize the full strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Merger, our stockholders
and Notes Live's shareholders will have experienced dilution of their ownership interests in their respective companies without
receiving any commensurate benefit, or only receiving part of the commensurate benefit to the extent the combined company is able to realize
only part of the strategic and financial benefits currently anticipated from the Merger.

 Failure to complete
the Merger may result in either us or Notes Live paying a termination fee to the other party and could significantly harm the market price
of our common stock and negatively affect the future business and operations of each company.

 If
the Merger is not completed and the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay Notes Live a
termination fee of $1.0 million and/or reimburse Notes Live's expenses up to a maximum of $500,000, and Notes Live may be required
to pay us a termination fee of $1.0 million, reimburse our expenses up to a maximum of $500,000 and/or, at the election of Fresh Vine,
redeem the $500,000 equity investment in Notes Live made by Fresh Vine upon entering into the letter of intent with Note Live for
the Merger transaction at the same price per share as the purchase price paid by Fresh Vine therefor. Even if a termination fee
or reimbursement of expenses of the other party are not payable in connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement, each of us and
Notes Live will have incurred significant fees and expenses, which must be paid whether or not the Merger is completed.

 In
addition, if the Merger Agreement is terminated and our board of directors determines to seek another business combination, there can
be no assurance that we will be able to find a partner and close an alternative transaction on terms that are as favorable or more favorable
than the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 The issuance of
our common stock to Notes Live's shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the resulting change in control from the Merger
must be approved by our stockholders, and the Merger Agreement and transactions contemplated thereby must be approved by Notes Live's
shareholders. Failure to obtain these approvals would prevent the closing of the Merger.

 Before
the Merger can be completed, our stockholders must approve, among other things, the issuance of our common stock to Note Live's
shareholders pursuant to the Merger Agreement and the resulting change in control from the Merger, and Note Live's shareholders
must adopt the Merger Agreement and approve the Merger and the related transactions. Failure to obtain the required stockholder approvals
may result in a material delay in, or the abandonment of, the Merger. Any delay in completing the Merger may materially adversely affect
the timing and benefits that are expected to be achieved from the Merger.

 Our stockholders
will have a reduced ownership and voting interest in, and will exercise significantly less influence over the management of, the combined
company following the closing of the Merger as compared to their current ownership and voting interest in our company.

 If
the proposed Merger is completed, our current stockholders will own a significantly smaller percentage of the combined company than their
ownership in our company prior to the Merger. On a pro forma basis and without adjustment for gross
proceeds from the Notes Live Financing or any Net Cash Surplus, pre-Merger Notes Live shareholders are expected to own approximately 95.1%
of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the combined company and pre-Merger Fresh Vine stockholders are expected to own approximately
4.9% of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the combined company.

 During the pendency
of the Merger, we may not be able to enter into a business combination with another party on more favorable terms because of restrictions
in the Merger Agreement, which could adversely affect our business prospects.

 Covenants
in the Merger Agreement impede our ability to make acquisitions during the pendency of the Merger, subject to specified exceptions. As
a result, if the Merger is not completed, we may be at a disadvantage to our competitors during such period. In addition, while the Merger
Agreement is in effect, we are generally prohibited from soliciting, initiating or knowingly encouraging, inducing or facilitating any
inquiries, indications of interest, proposals or offers that constitute or may reasonably be expected to lead to certain transactions
involving a third party, including a merger, sale of assets or other business combination, subject to specified exceptions. Any such transactions
could be favorable to our stockholders, but we may be unable to pursue them.

 Certain provisions
of the Merger Agreement may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals, including proposals that may be superior
to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

 The
terms of the Merger Agreement prohibit us from soliciting alternative takeover proposals or cooperating with persons making unsolicited
takeover proposals, except in limited circumstances when our board of directors determines in good faith that an unsolicited alternative
takeover proposal is or is reasonably likely to result in a superior takeover proposal and that failure to cooperate with the proponent
of the proposal is reasonably likely to be inconsistent with our board's fiduciary duties. Any such transactions could be favorable
to our stockholders. In addition, if we terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including terminating because of a
decision of ours to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a superior offer, we would be required to pay a termination fee
of $1.0 million to Notes Live and/or reimburse Notes Live's expenses up to a maximum of $500,000. This termination fee described
above may discourage third parties from submitting alternative takeover proposals to our stockholders, and may cause our board of directors
to be less inclined to recommend an alternative takeover proposal.

 Because the lack
of a public market for Notes Live common stock makes it difficult to evaluate the value of Notes Live common stock, the Notes Live shareholders
may receive shares of our common stock in the Merger that have a value that is less than, or greater than, the fair market value of Notes
Live common stock.

 The
outstanding common stock of Notes Live is privately held and is not traded in any public market. The lack of a public market makes it
extremely difficult to determine the fair market value of Notes Live. Because the percentage of our common stock to be issued to Notes
Live's shareholders was determined based on negotiations between the parties, it is possible that the value of our common stock
to be received by Notes Live's shareholders will be less than the fair market value of Notes Live, or that the value of our common
stock to be received by Notes Live's shareholders may be more than the aggregate fair market value for Notes Live.

 If the conditions
to the Merger are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not occur.

 Even
if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are approved by our stockholders and Notes Live's shareholders, several
other specified conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement must be satisfied or waived to complete the Merger, including without limitation
 (i) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 to register the shares of Fresh Vine
common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, (ii) NYSE American's approval of the listing of the shares of Fresh Vine
common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger, and, if applicable, NYSE American's approval of an initial listing application
for the combined company, (iii) if applicable, the completion of required filings under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act
of 1976 and the expiration or termination any waiting period applicable to the consummation of the Merger, (iv) the absence of material
adverse effects impacting Fresh Vine or Notes Live, (v) Fresh Vine having cash, cash equivalent assets or other liquid assets at the closing
of the Merger in an amount that equals or exceeds the Net Cash Target, and having no liabilities on its balance sheet or unpaid or unsatisfied
obligations that will require a cash expenditure by Fresh Vine after the effective time of the Merger, (vi) the absence of dissenting
Notes Live shareholders, and (vii) the entry by Notes Live into lock-up and leak-out arrangements with its shareholders to its satisfaction. We
cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied or waived. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will
not occur or will be delayed, and we may lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Merger.

 If the Merger is
not completed, our board of directors may decide to pursue a dissolution of our company. In a dissolution, there can be no assurances
as to the amount or timing of available cash, if any, to distribute to our stockholders after paying our debts and other obligations and
setting aside funds for reserves.

 Although
we have entered into the Merger Agreement with Notes Live, the closing of the Merger may be delayed or may not occur at all and there
can be no assurance that the Merger will deliver the anticipated benefits we expect or enhance stockholder value. If the Merger is not
completed and the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay Notes Live a termination fee of
$1.0 million and/or reimburse Notes Live's expenses up to a maximum of $500,000. Even if a termination fee is not payable in
connection with a termination of the Merger Agreement, we will have incurred significant fees and expenses, which must be paid whether
or not the Merger is completed.

 If,
for any reason, the Merger does not close, our board of directors may elect to, among other things, attempt to complete another strategic
transaction like the Merger, attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of the various assets of ours or continue to operate our business, and/or
decide that it is in the best interests of the Fresh Vine stockholders to suspend or cease its operations, seek to dissolve the company
and liquidate its assets, or initiate bankruptcy proceedings. Any of these alternatives would be costly and time-consuming and may require
that we obtain additional funding. We expect that it would be difficult to secure financing in a timely manner, on favorable terms or
at all. We can make no assurances that we would be able to obtain additional financing or find a partner and close an alternative transaction
on terms that are as favorable or more favorable than the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement or that any such alternatives are possible
or would be successful, if pursued. To the extent that we seek and are able to raise additional capital through the sale of equity or
convertible debt securities, our stockholders' ownership interest will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include
liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect their rights as a common stockholder. Debt financing or preferred equity financing,
if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring
additional debt, making capital expenditures, or declaring dividends. Even if we are able to pursue such alternatives, the failure to
complete the Merger may result in negative publicity and/or a negative impression of us in the investment community, could significantly
harm the market price of our common stock and may affect our relationship with employees and other partners in the business community.

 If
the Merger is not completed, our board of directors may decide that it is in the best interests of our stockholders to suspend or cease
its operations, seek to dissolve the company and liquidate its assets, or initiate bankruptcy proceedings. In that event, the amount of
cash available, if any, for distribution to our stockholders would depend heavily on the timing of such decision since the amount of cash
available for distribution continues to decrease as we fund our operations and incur fees and expenses related to the Merger. In addition,
if our board of directors were to approve and recommend, and our stockholders were to approve, a dissolution of our company, we would
be required to pay our outstanding obligations, as well as to make reasonable provision for contingent and unknown obligations, prior
to making any distributions to our stockholders. As a result of this requirement, a portion of our assets may need to be reserved pending
the resolution of such obligations. In addition, we may be subject to litigation or other claims related to a dissolution of our company.
If a dissolution were pursued, our board of directors, in consultation with our advisors, would need to evaluate these matters and make
a determination about a reasonable amount to reserve. Accordingly, our stockholders could lose all or a significant portion of their investment
in the event of a dissolution of our company.

 We are substantially
dependent on our remaining employees to facilitate the consummation of the Merger.

 As
of December 31, 2023, we had four full-time employees. Our ability to successfully complete the Merger depends in large part on our
ability to retain our remaining personnel. Despite our efforts to retain these employees, one or more may terminate their employment with
us on short notice. The loss of the services of certain employees could potentially harm our ability to consummate the Merger, to run
our day-to-day business operations, as well as to fulfill our reporting obligations as a public company.

 Our
ability to complete the Fresh Vine Legacy Transaction is uncertain, and we cannot predict the terms and conditions of any such Fresh Vine
Legacy Transaction, including the consideration that we may receive.

 As a condition to the closing
of the Merger, on or before the closing of the Merger, Fresh Vine shall have engaged in a sale,
license, transfer, disposition, divestiture or other monetization transaction, or winding down of Fresh Vine's current wine production
business (the "Fresh Vine Legacy Business"), or the sale, license, transfer, disposition, divestiture or other monetization
transaction or other disposition of the assets comprising the Fresh Vine Legacy Business and in connection therewith causing any
and all known obligations or liabilities associated with such assets and the conduct of the Fresh Vine Legacy Business operations to
be satisfied (the "Fresh Vine Legacy Transaction").

 Because completion of the
Fresh Vine Legacy Transaction is a condition to the closing of the Merger, the success of the combined company will be dependent on the
success of the Notes Live business operations following the merger.

 Lawsuits may be
filed in the future against us and the members of our board of directors arising out of the proposed Merger, which may delay or prevent
the proposed Merger.

 Putative
stockholder complaints, including stockholder class action complaints, and other complaints may be filed against us and our board of directors
in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. It is common for public reporting companies engaged in merger
transactions to receive letters from purported stockholders demanding amendments to registration statements and/or proxy statements filed
with the SEC to provide additional disclosures that such stockholders allege were improperly omitted, or complaints asserting claims for
allegedly false and misleading statements in such filings. The outcome of demands or complaints that we may receive or any litigation
is uncertain, and we may not be successful in defending against any such claims. Lawsuits that may be filed against us and/or our board
of directors could delay or prevent the Merger, divert the attention of our management team and employees from our day-to-day business
and otherwise adversely affect our business and financial condition.

 Risks related to our company and our business.

 We have a limited operating history and
have generated limited revenue to date.

 Our company was recently
founded, and we have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered
in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development, particularly
companies in new and evolving markets such as ours. The risks include, but are not limited to, an evolving business model and the management
of growth and product development. To address these risks, we must, among other things, implement and successfully execute our business
strategy and other business systems, respond to competitive developments, and attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel. We cannot
assure you that we will be successful in addressing the risks we may encounter, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse
effect on our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

 We have generated very limited revenues to date, including revenues
of approximately $1.8 million and $2.9 million during fiscal 2023 and fiscal 2022, respectively. We have incurred net losses of $10.6
million and $15.2 million during fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. We had an accumulated deficit of $26.5 million and $15.8 million
at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We may never generate material revenues or achieve profitability.

 We have not generated profits from operations
to date. The success and longevity of our company will depend on our ability to generate profits from future operations or obtain sufficient
capital through financing transactions to meet our business obligations.

 The report of our independent
registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 included an explanatory paragraph
indicating that there is substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern for twelve months from the financial statement
issuance date. We incurred net losses of $10.6 million and $15.2 million during fiscal 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our cash and restricted
cash balance at December 31, 2023 was approximately $336,000. Our ability to continue as a going concern, including during the pendency
of the Merger transaction, will be determined by our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to sustain our operations and/or raise additional
capital in the form of debt or equity financing.

 We need to hire additional executive officers
and other personnel.

 Our executive management
is currently comprised of a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Financial Officer, both of whom are serving in interim positions. If
the Merger transaction is not completed, the future success of our existing wine production business will be dependent in part upon us
locating and retaining qualified individuals who will serve as executive officers on a permanent basis and lead our Company and our business
operations, and on us locating additional members to serve on our board of directors to help oversee and guide our company. We cannot
predict with certainty when we will be able locate such individuals.

 The success of our business depends heavily
on the strength of our wine brand.

 Obtaining, maintaining and
expanding our reputation as a producer of premium wine among our customers and the premium wine market generally is critical to the success
of our business and our growth strategy. The premium wine market is driven by a relatively small number of active and well-regarded wine
critics within the industry who have outsized influence over the perceived quality and value of wines. If we are unable to maintain the
actual or perceived quality of our wines, including as a result of contamination or tampering, environmental or other factors impacting
the quality of our grapes or other raw materials, or if our wines otherwise do not meet the subjective expectations or tastes of one or
more of a relatively small number of wine critics, the actual or perceived quality and value of one or more of our wines could be harmed,
which could negatively impact not only the value of that wine, but also the value of the vintage, the particular brand or our broader
portfolio. The winemaking process is a long and labor-intensive process that is built around yearly vintages, which means that once a
vintage has been released we are not able to make further adjustments to satisfy wine critics or consumers. As a result, we are dependent
on our winemakers and tasting panels to ensure that every wine we release meets our exacting quality standards.

 With the advent of social
media, word within the premium wine market spreads quickly, which can accentuate both the positive and the negative reviews of our wines
and of wine vintages generally. Public perception of our brands could be negatively affected by adverse publicity or negative commentary
on social media outlets, particularly negative commentary on social media outlets that goes "viral," or our responses relating
to, among other things:

 an
actual or perceived failure to maintain high-quality, safety, ethical, social and environmental standards for all of our operations and
activities;

 an
actual or perceived failure to address concerns relating to the quality, safety or integrity of our wines and the hospitality we offer
to our guests at our potential future tasting rooms;

 our
environmental impact, including our use of agricultural materials, packaging, water and energy use, and waste management; or

 an
actual or perceived failure by us to promote the responsible consumption of alcohol.

 If we do not produce wines
that are well-regarded by the relatively small wine critic community, the wine market will quickly become aware and our reputation, wine
brand, business and financial results of our operations could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, if our wine receives
negative publicity or consumer reaction, whether as a result of our wines or wines of other producers, our wines in the same vintage could
be adversely affected. Unfavorable publicity, whether accurate or not, related to our industry, us, our winery brands, marketing, personnel,
operations, business performance or prospects could also unfavorably affect our corporate reputation, company value, ability to attract
high-quality talent or the performance of our business.

 Any contamination or
other quality control issue could have an adverse effect on sales of the impacted wine or our broader portfolio of wines. If any of our
wines become unsafe or unfit for consumption, cause injury or are otherwise improperly packaged or labelled, we may have to engage in
a product recall and/or be subject to liability and incur additional costs. A widespread recall, multiple recalls, or a significant product
liability judgment against us could cause our wines to be unavailable for a period of time, depressing demand and our brand equity. Even
if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, any resulting negative publicity could adversely affect our reputation
with existing and potential customers and accounts, as well as our corporate and individual winery brands image in such a way that current
and future sales could be diminished. In addition, should a competitor experience a recall or contamination event, we could face decreased
consumer confidence by association as a producer of similar products.

 Additionally, third parties
may sell wines or inferior brands that imitate our wine brand or that are counterfeit versions of our labels, and customers could be duped
into thinking that these imitation labels are our authentic wines. For example, there could be instances of potential counterfeiting.
A negative consumer experience with such a wine could cause them to refrain from purchasing our brands in the future and damage our brand
integrity. Any failure to maintain the actual or perceived quality of our wines could materially and adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial results.

 Damage to our reputation
or loss of consumer confidence in our wines for any of these or other reasons could result in decreased demand for our wines and could
have a material adverse effect on our business, operational results, and financial results, as well as require additional resources to
rebuild our reputation, competitive position and winery brand strength.

 If our business grows, it will place increased
demands on our management, operational and production capabilities that we may not be able to adequately address. If we are unable to
meet these increased demands, our business will be harmed.

 Unless we manage our growth
effectively, we may make mistakes in operating our business, such as inaccurate forecasting. The anticipated growth of our operations
will place significant demand on our management and operational resources. In order to manage growth effectively, we must implement and
improve our operational systems, procedures and controls on a timely basis. Our key personnel have limited experience managing this type
of business. If we cannot manage our business effectively, our business could suffer.

 Our advertising and promotional investments
may affect our financial results but not be effective.

 Consumer awareness is of
great importance to the success of businesses operating in the wine industry. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant
advertising and promotional expenditures to enhance our wine brand and raise consumer awareness, which we believe is vital to the long-term
success of our operations. These expenditures may adversely affect our results of operations in a particular quarter or even a full fiscal
year and may not result in increased sales. Variations in the levels of advertising and promotional expenditures have in the past caused,
and are expected in the future to continue to cause, variability in our quarterly results of operations. While we strive to invest only
in effective advertising and promotional activities in both the digital and traditional segments, it is difficult to correlate such investments
with sales results, and there is no guarantee that our expenditures will be effective in building brand strength or growing long term
sales.

 We have relied heavily on celebrities to
endorse our wines and market our brand pursuant to license agreements which have been terminated.

 Our
brand, and to a large extent our direct-to-consumer sales outlet, has been heavily dependent on the positive image and public popularity
of, and affinity towards, Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough. Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough have served as celebrity spokespersons and ambassadors
of our company, have actively endorsed our wines on their sizable social media and other outlets, and are considered by many to be the
face of our brand. Under our license agreements with Ms. Dobrev and Jaybird Investments, LLC (an entity managed by Ms. Hough), each of
Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough granted us a license to use her pre-approved name, likeness, image, and other indicia of identity, as well as
certain content published by her on her social media and other channels, on and in conjunction with the sale and related pre-approved
advertising and promotion of our wine.

 On
August 8, 2023, the Company received written letters from each of Ms. Dobrev and Jaybird Investments, LLC, notifying the Company that
it was in default of their respective license agreements based on failure to pay license fees and providing 30 day notice of termination
of their respective license agreements. Effective September 7, 2023, each license agreement terminated. Upon such termination, the rights
and licenses granted to us under such agreements were revoked and were required to cease the marketing and sale of products that feature
their name, likeness, image, and other indicia of identity after a 90 day run-off period. As a result, we will be required to refocus
our marketing and brand promotion efforts, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

 We rely heavily on third-party suppliers
and service providers, and they may not continue to produce products or provide services that are consistent with our standards or applicable
regulatory requirements, which could harm our brand, cause consumer dissatisfaction, and require us to find alternative suppliers and
service providers.

 We have strategically structured
our organization and operations with a view towards minimizing our capital investment requirements. We do this by leveraging a network
of third-party providers with industry experience and expertise that we use to perform various functions on our behalf. Specifically,
we contract with Fior di Sole, an industry leading packaging innovation and wine production company based in Napa Valley, California,
to serve as a "host winery" and permit us to occupy a portion of its production and warehouse facility and its production
equipment on an alternating proprietorship basis. Under this arrangement, we are able to use capacity at Fior di Sole's production
facility at times mutually convenient to us and Fior di Sole to produce and bottle our wines. Fior di Sole is responsible for keeping
its production equipment in good operating order. Although we are solely responsible for managing and conducting our own winemaking activities,
we may request use of the Fior di Sole's personnel to perform crush, fermentation, blending, cellar, warehousing, barrel topping
and/or bottling services for additional fees. Under a separate agreement, Fior di Sole provides us with bulk juice and blends, finishes,
bottles, stops, labels, and packages our wine. Fior di Sole provides these services on a purchase order basis, which purchase orders
are subject to the parties' mutual agreement. This agreement was terminated in December 2023.

 The Company relies heavily
on the third parties to manage the sales and distribution of our wine and manage our DTC marketing initiatives. We also utilize third
parties to help manage all of our regulatory licensing and compliance activities, and we utilize additional software tools available to
the industry to navigate and manage the complex state-by-state regulations that apply to our operations in the beverage alcohol industry.

 We engage many of our third-party
suppliers and service providers on a purchase order basis or pursuant to agreements that are generally one year or less in duration. The
ability and willingness of these third parties to supply and provide services to us may be affected by competing orders placed by other
companies, the demands of those companies or other factors. If we experience significant increases in demand or need to replace a significant
third party supplier or service provider, there can be no assurance that alternative third party vendors will be available when required
on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all, or that any such vendor will allocate sufficient capacity to us in order to meet our requirements.
If we fail to replace a supplier or servicer provider in a timely manner or on commercially reasonable terms, we could incur product disruptions
and our operating results and financial condition could be materially harmed. Switching or adding additional vendors, particularly our
alternating proprietorship host winery, would also involve additional costs and require management time and focus.

 Except for remedies that
may be available to us under our agreements with our third-party vendors, we cannot control whether or not they devote sufficient time
and resources to supporting our business operations. These third parties may also have relationships with other commercial entities, including
our competitors, for whom they may also be providing services, which could affect their performance on our behalf. If these third parties
do not successfully carry out their contractual duties or obligations or meet expected deadlines or need to be replaced for other reasons,
it could adversely impact our ability to meet consumers' demands for our products or comply with regulatory requirements and subject
us to potential liability, any of which may harm the reputation of our company and our products.

 Although we carefully manage
our relationships with our network of third-party vendors, there can be no assurance that we will not encounter challenges or delays in
the future or that these challenges or delays will not have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and prospects.

 We face significant competition with an
increasing number of products and market participants that could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and
financial results.

 Our industry is intensely
competitive and highly fragmented. Our wines compete with many other domestic and foreign wines. Our wines compete with popularly priced
generic wines and with other alcoholic and, to a lesser degree, non-alcoholic beverages, for drinker acceptance and loyalty, shelf space
and prominence in retail stores, presence, and prominence on restaurant wine lists and for marketing focus by the Company's distributors,
many of which carry extensive portfolios of wines and other alcoholic beverages. This competition is driven by established companies as
well as new entrants in our markets and categories. In the United States, wine sales are relatively concentrated among a limited number
of large suppliers, including E&J Gallo, Constellation, Duckhorn, Trinchero, Jackson Family Wines, Ste. Michelle and The Wine Group,
and these and our other competitors may have more robust financial, technical, marketing and distribution networks and public relations
resources than we have. As a result of this intense competition, combined with our growth goals, we have experienced and may continue
to face upward pressure on our selling, marketing and promotional efforts and expenses. There can be no assurance that in the future we
will be able to successfully compete with our competitors or that we will not face greater competition from other wineries and beverage
manufacturers.

 If we are unable to successfully
compete with existing or new market participants, or if we do not effectively respond to competitive pressures, we could experience reductions
in market share and margins that could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial results.

 Consolidation of the distributors of our
wines, as well as the consolidation of retailers, may increase competition in an already crowded space and may have a material adverse
effect on our business, results of operations and financial results.

 Other than sales made directly
to our consumers, the majority of our wine sales are made through distributors for resale to retail outlets, restaurants and hotels across
the United States. We expect sales to distributors to represent an increasingly substantial portion of our future net sales as we continue
to grow our network of wholesale distributors. Consolidation among wine producers, distributors, wholesalers, suppliers and retailers
could create a more challenging competitive landscape for our wines. In addition, we believe that the increased growth and popularity
of the retail e-commerce environment across the consumer product goods market, which accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic and the
resulting quarantines, "stay at home" orders, travel restrictions, retail store closures, social distancing requirements and
other government action, has and is likely to continue to change the competitive landscape for our wines. Consolidation at any level could
hinder the distribution and sale of our wines as a result of reduced attention and resources allocated to our winery brands both during
and after transition periods, because our winery brands might represent a smaller portion of the new business portfolio. Furthermore,
consolidation of distributors may lead to the erosion of margins as newly consolidated distributors take down prices or demand more margin
from existing suppliers. Changes in distributors' strategies, including a reduction in the number of brands they carry or the allocation
of resources for our competitors' brands or private label products, may adversely affect our growth, business, financial results
and market share. Distributors of our wines offer products that compete directly with our wines for inventory and retail shelf space,
promotional and marketing support and consumer purchases. Expansion into new product categories by other suppliers or innovation by new
entrants into the market could increase competition in our product categories.

 An increasingly large percentage
of our net sales is concentrated within a small number of wholesale customers. The purchasing power of large retailers is significant,
and they have the ability to command concessions. There can be no assurance that the distributors and retailers will purchase our wines
or provide our wines with adequate levels of promotional and merchandising support. The failure to bring on major accounts or the need
to make significant concessions to retain one or more such accounts could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results
of operations and financial position.

 A reduction in consumer demand for wine,
which may result from a variety of factors, including demographic shifts and decreases in discretionary spending, could materially and
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

 We rely on consumers'
demand for our wine. Consumer preferences may shift due to a variety of factors, including changes in demographic or social trends, changes
in discretionary income, public health policies and perceptions and changes in leisure, dining and beverage consumption patterns. Our
success will require us to anticipate and respond effectively to shifts in consumer behavior and drinking tastes. If consumer preferences
were to move away from our wine brand, our results of operations would be materially and adversely affected.

 A limited or general decline
in consumer demand could occur in the future due to a variety of factors, including:

 a
general decline in economic or geopolitical conditions;

 a
general decline in the consumption of alcoholic beverage products in on-premise establishments, such as those that may result from smoking
bans and stricter laws relating to driving while under the influence of alcohol and changes in public health policies, including those
implemented to address the COVID-19 pandemic;

 a
generational or demographic shift in consumer preferences away from wines to other alcoholic beverages;

 increased
activity of anti-alcohol groups;

 concern
about the health consequences of consuming alcoholic beverage products; and

 increased
federal, state, provincial, and foreign excise, or other taxes on beverage alcohol products and increased restrictions on beverage alcohol
advertising and marketing.

 Demand for premium wine brands,
like ours, may be particularly susceptible to changing economic conditions and consumer tastes, preferences and spending habits, which
may reduce our sales of these products and adversely affect our profitability. An unanticipated decline or change in consumer demand or
preference could also materially impact our ability to forecast for future production requirements, which could, in turn, impair our ability
to effectively adapt to changing consumer preferences. Any reduction in the demand for our wines would materially and adversely affect
our business, results of operations and financial results.

 Due to the three-tier alcohol beverage distribution
system in the United States, we are heavily reliant on our distributors that resell alcoholic beverages in all states in which we do business.
A significant reduction in distributor demand for our wines would materially and adversely affect our sales and profitability.

 Due to regulatory requirements
in the United States, we sell a significant portion of our wines to wholesalers for resale to retail accounts. A change in the relationship
with any of our significant distributors could harm our business and reduce our sales. The laws and regulations of several states prohibit
changes of distributors, except under certain limited circumstances, making it difficult to terminate or otherwise cease working with
a distributor for poor performance without reasonable justification, as defined by applicable statutes. Any difficulty or inability to
replace distributors, poor performance of our major distributors or our inability to collect accounts receivable from our major distributors
could harm our business. In addition, an expansion of the laws and regulations limiting the sale of our wine would materially and adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial results. There can be no assurance that the distributors and accounts to which
we sell our wines will continue to purchase our wines or provide our wines with adequate levels of promotional support, which could increase
competitive pressure to increase sales and marketing spending and could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial results.

 Our marketing strategy involves continued
expansion into the direct-to-consumer channel, which may present risks and challenges for which we are not adequately prepared and which
could negatively affect our sales in these channels and our profitability.

 A portion of our operating
strategy is to expand our sales of wine through this direct-to-consumer channel. However, the direct-to-consumer marketplace is highly
competitive and in recent years has seen the entrance of new competitors and products targeting similar customer groups as our business.
To be competitive and forge new connections with customers, we are continuing investment in the expansion of our direct-to-consumer channel.
Such expansion may require significant investment in e-commerce platforms, marketing, fulfilment, information technology ("IT")
infrastructure and other known and unknown costs. The success of our direct-to-consumer sales channel depends on our ability to maintain
the efficient and uninterrupted operation of online order-processing and fulfilment and delivery operations. As such, we are heavily dependent
on the performance of our shipping and technology partners. Any system interruptions or delays could prevent potential customers from
purchasing our wines directly.

 Our ability to ship wines
directly to our customers is the result of court rulings, including the U.S. Supreme Court ruling in Granholm v. Heald, which allow, in
certain circumstances, shipments to customers of wines from out-of-state wineries. Any changes to the judicial, legal, or regulatory framework
that reduce our ability to sell wines in most states using our direct-to-consumer sales channel could have a materially adverse effect
on our business, results of operations and financial results.

 We may be unable to adequately
adapt to shifts in consumer preferences for points of purchase, such as an increase in at-home delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic,
and our competitors may react more rapidly or with improved customer experiences. A failure to react quickly to these and other changes
in consumer preferences, or to create infrastructure to support new or expanding sales channels may materially and adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial results.

 A failure to adequately prepare for adverse
events that could cause disruption to elements of our business, including the availability of bulk grapes, and the blending, inventory
aging or distribution of our wines could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

 Disruptions to our operations
caused by adverse weather, natural disasters, public health emergencies, including the COVID-19 pandemic, or unforeseen circumstances
may cause delays to or interruptions in our operations. Concerns regarding the availability of water for production is particular to companies
that produce and bottle wines in California. A consequence of any of these or supply or supply chain disruptions, including the temporary
inability to produce our wines due to the closure of our production sites, could prevent us from meeting consumer demand in the near term
or long term for our aged wines. For example, as result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our industry has experienced temporary supply chain
disruptions for certain processed materials, cardboard packaging, and glass, as well as increased strain on logistics networks and shipping
partners. The occurrence of any such disruptions during a peak time of demand for such processed materials could increase the magnitude
of the effect on our distribution network and sales. Failure to adequately prepare for and address any such disruptions could materially
and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

 A catastrophic event causing
physical damage, disruption or failure at our production facility could adversely affect our business. Although our wines currently available
for sale do not require substantial aging, we expect that certain of our wines, including the Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, require aging
for some period of time. As a result, we expect to maintain inventory of aged and maturing wines in warehouses. The loss of a substantial
amount of aged inventory through fire, accident, earthquake, other natural or man-made disaster, contamination or otherwise could significantly
reduce the supply of the affected wine or wines, including our aged wines, which are typically the highest priced and limited production
wines.

 Any disruptions that cause
forced closure or evacuation could materially harm our business, results of operations and financial results. Additionally, should multiple
closings occur, we may lose guest confidence resulting in a reduction in direct sales, which could materially and adversely affect our
business, results of operations and financial results. If we expand our future operations to include tasting rooms, such closings would
also negatively impact visitation.

 Inclement weather, drought, pests, plant
diseases and other factors could reduce the amount or quality of the grapes available to produce our wines, which could materially and
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

 A shortage in the supply
of quality grapes may result from the occurrence of any number of factors that determine the quality and quantity of grape supply, including
adverse weather conditions (including heatwaves, frosts, drought and excessive rainfall), and various diseases, pests, fungi and viruses.
We cannot anticipate changes in weather patterns and conditions, and we cannot predict their impact on our operations if they were to
occur. Any shortage could cause an increase in the price of some or all of the grape varietals required for our wine production or a reduction
in the amount of wine we are able to produce, which could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
results.

 Factors that reduce the quantity
of grapes the growers with which we contract grow may also reduce their quality. Deterioration in the quality of our wines could harm
our winery brand strength, and a decrease in our production could reduce our sales and increase our expenses, both of which could materially
and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

 If we are unable to obtain adequate supplies
of premium juice from third-party juice suppliers, the quantity or quality of our annual production of wine could be adversely affected,
causing a negative impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 The production of our wines
and the ability to fulfill the demand for our wines is restricted by the availability of premium grapes and juice from third-party growers.
If we are unable to source grapes and juice of the requisite quality, varietal and geography, among other factors, our ability to produce
wines to the standards, quantity and quality demanded by our customers could be impaired.

 Factors including climate
change, agricultural risks, competition for quality, water availability, land use, wildfires, floods, disease, and pests could impact
the quality and quantity of grapes and bulk juice available to our company. Furthermore, these potential disruptions in production may
drive up demand for grapes and bulk juice creating higher input costs or the inability to purchase these materials. Following the 2020
wildfires in Northern California, the price of bulk juice increased substantially in a very short period of time, leading to some wine
producers reducing lot sizes of certain wines. As a result, our financial results could be materially and adversely affected both in the
year of the harvest and future periods.

 If we are unable to identify and obtain
adequate supplies of quality agricultural, raw and processed materials, including corks, glass bottles, barrels, winemaking additives
and agents, water and other supplies, or if there is an increase in the cost of the commodities or products, our profitability, production
and distribution capabilities could be negatively impacted, which would materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations
and financial condition.

 We use grapes and other raw
materials to produce and package our wine, including corks, barrels, winemaking additives, and water, as well as large amounts of packaging
materials, including metal, cork, glass and cardboard. We purchase raw materials and packaging materials under contracts of varying maturities
from domestic and international suppliers.

 Glass bottle costs are one
of our largest packaging components of cost of goods sold. In North America, glass bottles have only a small number of producers. The
inability of any of our glass bottle suppliers to satisfy our requirements could materially and adversely affect our business. In addition,
costs and programs related to mandatory recycling and recyclable materials deposits could be adopted in states of manufacture, imposing
additional and unknown costs to manufacture products utilizing glass bottles. The amount of water available for use is important to the
supply of our grapes and winemaking, other agricultural raw materials, and our ability to operate our business. If climate patterns change
and droughts become more severe, there may be a scarcity of water or poor water quality, which may affect our production costs, consistency
of yields or impose capacity constraints. We depend on sufficient amounts of quality water for operation of our wineries, as well as to
conduct our other operations. The suppliers of the grapes and other agricultural raw materials we purchase also depend upon sufficient
supplies of quality water for their vineyards and fields. Prolonged or severe drought conditions in the western United States or restrictions
imposed on irrigation options by governmental authorities could have an adverse effect on our operations in the region. If water available
to our operations or the operations of our suppliers becomes scarcer, restrictions are placed on our usage of water or the quality of
that water deteriorates, we may incur increased production costs or face manufacturing constraints which could negatively affect our production.
Even if quality water is widely available to us, water purification and waste treatment infrastructure limitations could increase our
costs or constrain operation of our production facilities. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial results.

 Our production and shipping
activities also use energy in their operations, including electricity, propane and natural gas. Energy costs could rise in the future,
which would result in higher transportation, freight and other operating costs, such as ageing and bottling expenses. Our freight cost
and the timely delivery of our wines could be adversely affected by a number of factors that could reduce the profitability of our operations,
including driver shortages, higher fuel costs, weather conditions, traffic congestion, increased government regulation, and other matters.
In addition, increased labor costs or insufficient labor supply could increase our production costs.

 Our supply and the price
of raw materials, packaging materials and energy and the cost of energy, freight and labor used in our productions and distribution activities
could be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including market demand, global geopolitical events (especially their impact
on energy prices), economic factors affecting growth decisions, exchange rate fluctuations and inflation. To the extent any of these factors,
including supply of goods and energy, affect the prices of ingredients or packaging, or we do not effectively or completely hedge changes
in commodity price risks, or are unable to recoup costs through increases in the price of our finished wines, our business, results of
operations and financial results could be materially and adversely affected.

 In addition to litigation that may arise
from time to time in the ordinary course of business, we have been engaged in litigation with our former Chief Operating Officer.

 As disclosed under Item 3 - Legal Proceedings, the Company has been
a defendant in a lawsuit styled Timothy Michaels v. Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. filed May 27, 2022 in the Fourth Judicial District
Court, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The lawsuit relates to a complaint filed by Mr. Michaels resulting from the Company including
a restricted "lock-up" legend on shares of the Company's common stock issued to Mr. Michaels pursuant to a settlement
agreement that the Company entered into with Mr. Michaels following termination of his employment and for not removing or directing the
Company's transfer agent to remove such legend. A jury trial commenced on January 23, 2024. During trial, on January 24, 2024, the
Company filed a motion for judgement in favor of the Company as a matter of law, which was denied by the Court. On January 25, 2024, the
jury in the lawsuit rendered a verdict against the Company awarding damages to Mr. Michaels in the amount of $585,976.25. The damages
awarded to Mr. Michaels by the trial court are not covered by the Company's insurance policies.

 The Company is assessing the options available to it, including the
possibility of appealing the verdict. Although the Company believes it has legal grounds to appeal the verdict, continued litigation and
related actions may be expensive, the outcome of any litigation (including any appeal) is difficult to predict, and the existence of litigation
may impact the ability of management to focus on other business matters. Furthermore, the Company will be required to post an appeals
bond in order to stay execution of the money judgment pending any appeal. Given the Company's current financial position, the cost
of such an appeals bond is uncertain and may be higher than the typical cost of such a bond or require the Company to provide cash or
other collateral. In addition, adverse judgments may result in an increase in future insurance premiums, and any judgments for which the
Company is not fully insured may result in a significant financial loss and may materially and adversely affect the Company's business,
results of operations and financial results..

 The impact of U.S. and worldwide economic
trends and financial market conditions could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, financial condition and results
of operations.

 We are subject to risks associated
with adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally, including economic slowdown, inflation, and the disruption, volatility
and tightening of credit and capital markets. Unfavorable global or regional economic conditions could materially and adversely impact
our business, liquidity, financial condition and results of operations. In general, positive conditions in the broader economy promote
customer spending on wine, while economic weakness, which generally results in a reduction of customer spending, may have a more pronounced
negative effect on spending on wine. Unemployment, tax increases, governmental spending cuts or a return of high levels of inflation could
affect consumer spending patterns and purchases of our wines and other alcoholic beverage products. Reduced consumer discretionary spending
and reduced consumer confidence could negatively affect the trend towards consuming premium wines and could result in a reduction of wine
and beverage alcohol consumption in the United States generally. In particular, extended periods of high unemployment, lower consumer
discretionary spending and low consumer confidence could result in lower sales of premium wine brands, including our wine, in favor of
wine brands which have a lower average sales price and generally have lower gross profit margins and lower overall sales, which could
negatively impact our business and results of operations. These conditions could also create or worsen credit issues, cash flow issues,
access to credit facilities and other financial hardships for us and our suppliers, distributors, accounts and consumers. An inability
of our suppliers, distributors and retailers to access liquidity could impact our ability to produce and distribute our wines.

 If we are unable to secure and protect our
intellectual property in domestic and foreign markets, including trademarks for our wine brands and wines, the value of our wine brands
and intellectual property could decline, which could have a material and adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
results.

 Our future success depends
on our ability to protect our current and future wine brands and wines and to enforce and defend our trademarks and other intellectual
property rights. We rely on a combination of trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual
restrictions, to secure and protect our intellectual property rights. We have been granted three (3) trademark registrations in the United
States for FRESH VINE, FRESH VINE (Stylized), and our FV Logo, and numerous trademark registrations in other countries
for the FRESH VINE mark, and we have filed, and may continue to file, trademark applications seeking to protect newly-developed wine brands.
We have also been granted a copyright registration in the first version of our website located at www.freshvine.com. While a copyright
exists in a work of art once it is fixed in tangible medium, we intend to continue to file copyright applications to protect newly-developed
works of art that are important to our business.

 We cannot be sure that any
trademark office or copyright office will issue trademark registrations under any of our trademark applications, or copyright registrations
under any of our copyright applications. Third parties may oppose the registration of our trademark applications, contest our trademark
rights or copyrights, and petition to cancel our registered trademarks. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in defending our
trademarks or copyrights in actions brought by third parties. There is also a risk that we could fail to timely maintain or renew our
trademark registrations or otherwise protect our trademark rights or copyrights, which could result in the loss of those trademark rights
(including in connection with failure to maintain consistent use of these trademarks). If we fail to maintain our trademarks or a third
party successfully challenges our trademarks or copyrights, we could be forced to rebrand our wineries, wines, and other products, which
could result in a loss of winery brand recognition and could require us to devote additional resources to the development and marketing
of new wine brands.

 Notwithstanding any trademark
registrations or copyright registrations held by us, a third party could bring a lawsuit or other claim alleging that we have infringed
that third party's trademark rights or copyrights. Any such claims, with or without merit, could require significant resources to
defend, could damage the reputation of our wine brands, could result in the payment of compensation (whether as a damages award or settlement)
to such third parties, and could require us to stop using our wine brands or otherwise agree to an undertaking to limit that use. In addition,
our actions to monitor and enforce trademark rights or copyrights against third parties may not prevent counterfeit products or products
bearing confusingly similar trademarks from entering the marketplace, which could divert sales from us, tarnish our reputation or reduce
the demand for our products or the prices at which we sell those products. Any enforcement litigation brought by us, whether or not successful,
could require significant costs and resources, and divert the attention of management, which could negatively affect our business, results
of operations and financial results. Third parties may also acquire and register domain names that are confusingly similar to or otherwise
damaging to the reputation of our trademarks, and we may not be able to prevent or cancel any such domain name registrations.

 In addition to registered
intellectual property rights such as trademark registrations and copyright registrations, we rely on non-registered proprietary information,
such as trade secrets, confidential information, and know-how, including in connection with the crafting of our low calorie, low-carb,
premium tasting wines. In order to protect our proprietary information, we rely in part on agreements with our employees, independent
contractors and other third parties that place restrictions on the use and disclosure of this intellectual property. These agreements
may be breached, or this intellectual property, including trade secrets, may otherwise be disclosed or become known to our competitors,
which could cause us to lose any competitive advantage resulting from this intellectual property. To the extent that our employees, independent
contractors or other third parties with whom we do business use intellectual property owned by others in their work for us, disputes may
arise as to the rights in related or resulting know-how and inventions. The loss of trade secret protection could make it easier for third
parties to compete with our products. In addition, any changes in, or unexpected interpretations of, intellectual property laws may compromise
our ability to enforce our trade secret and intellectual property rights. Costly and time-consuming litigation could be necessary to enforce
and determine the scope of our proprietary rights, and failure to obtain or maintain protection of our trade secrets or other proprietary
information could harm our business, financial condition, results of operations and competitive position.

 We may not be fully insured against catastrophic
perils, including catastrophic loss or inaccessibility of wineries, production facilities and/or distribution systems resulting from fire,
wildfire, flood, wind events, earthquake and other perils, which may cause us to experience a material financial loss.

 Although we currently store
the bulk of our wine inventory at our third-party warehouse in California, which is prone to seismic activity, wildfires and floods, among
other perils. If any of these facilities were to experience a catastrophic loss in the future, it could disrupt our operations, delay
production, shipments and our recognition of revenue, and result in potentially significant expenses to repair or replace the facility.
If such a disruption were to occur, we could breach agreements, our reputation could be harmed and our business and operating results
could be materially and adversely affected. Although we carry insurance to cover property and inventory damage and business interruption,
these coverages are subject to deductibles and self-insurance obligations, as well as caps on coverage that could be below the value of
losses we could incur in certain catastrophic perils. Furthermore, claims for recovery against our insurance policies can be time-consuming,
and may result in significant delays between when we incur damages and when we receive payment under our insurance policies. If one or
more significant catastrophic events occurred damaging our own or third-party assets and/or services, we could suffer a major financial
loss and our business, results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

 Furthermore, increased incidence
or severity of natural disasters has adversely impacted our ability to obtain adequate property damage, inventory, and business interruption
insurance at financially viable rates, if at all. For example, we have observed certain insurers ceasing to offer certain inventory protection
policies, and we have supplemented our insurance coverage recently by purchasing policies at higher premiums. If these trends continue
and our insurance coverage is adversely affected, and to the extent we elect to increase our self-insurance obligations, we may be at
greater risk that similar future events will cause significant financial losses and materially and adversely affect our business, results
of operations and financial results.

 From time to time, we may become subject
to litigation specifically directed at the alcoholic beverage industry, as well as litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.

 Companies operating in the
alcoholic beverage industry may, from time to time, be exposed to class action or other private or governmental litigation and claims
relating to product liability, alcohol marketing, advertising or distribution practices, alcohol abuse problems or other health consequences
arising from the excessive consumption of or other misuse of alcohol, including underage drinking. Various groups have, from time to time,
publicly expressed concern over problems related to harmful use of alcohol, including drinking, and driving, underage drinking and health
consequences from the misuse of alcohol. These campaigns could result in an increased risk of litigation against the Company and our industry.
Lawsuits have been brought against beverage alcohol companies alleging problems related to alcohol abuse, negative health consequences
from drinking, problems from alleged marketing or sales practices and underage drinking. While these lawsuits have been largely unsuccessful
in the past, others may succeed in the future.

 From time to time, we may
also be party to other litigation in the ordinary course of our operations, including in connection with commercial disputes, enforcement
or other regulatory actions by tax, customs, competition, environmental, anti-corruption and other relevant regulatory authorities, or,
securities-related class action lawsuits, particularly following any significant decline in the price of our securities. Any such litigation
or other actions may be expensive to defend and result in damages, penalties, or fines as well as reputational damage to our company and
our winery brands and may impact the ability of management to focus on other business matters. Furthermore, any adverse judgments may
result in an increase in future insurance premiums, and any judgments for which we are not fully insured may result in a significant financial
loss and may materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial results.

 A failure of one or more of our key IT systems,
networks, processes, associated sites or service providers could have a material adverse impact on business operations, and if the failure
is prolonged, our financial condition.

 We rely on IT systems, networks,
and services, including internet sites, data hosting and processing facilities and tools, hardware (including laptops and mobile devices),
software and technical applications and platforms, some of which are managed, hosted, provided, and used by third parties or their vendors,
to assist us in the management of our business. The various uses of these IT systems, networks and services include, but are not limited
to: hosting our internal network and communication systems; supply and demand planning; production; shipping wines to customers; hosting
our winery websites and marketing products to consumers; collecting and storing customer, consumer, employee, stockholder, and other data;
processing transactions; summarizing and reporting results of operations; hosting, processing and sharing confidential and proprietary
research, business plans and financial information; complying with regulatory, legal or tax requirements; providing data security; and
handling other processes necessary to manage our business.

 Increased IT security threats
and more sophisticated cybercrimes and cyberattacks, including computer viruses and other malicious codes, ransomware, unauthorized access
attempts, denial of service attacks, phishing, social engineering, hacking and other types of attacks pose a potential risk to the security
of our IT systems, networks and services, as well as the confidentiality, availability, and integrity of our data, and we have in the
past, and may in the future, experience cyberattacks and other unauthorized access attempts to our IT systems. Because the techniques
used to obtain unauthorized access are constantly changing and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we or our vendors
may be unable to anticipate these techniques or implement sufficient preventative or remedial measures. If we are unable to efficiently
and effectively maintain and upgrade our system safeguards, we may incur unexpected costs and certain of our systems may become more vulnerable
to unauthorized access. In the event of a ransomware or other cyber-attack, the integrity and safety of our data could be at risk, or
we may incur unforeseen costs impacting our financial position. If the IT systems, networks or service providers we rely upon fail to
function properly, or if we suffer a loss or disclosure of business or other sensitive information due to any number of causes ranging
from catastrophic events, power outages, security breaches, unauthorized use or usage errors by employees, vendors or other third parties
and other security issues, we may be subject to legal claims and proceedings, liability under laws that protect the privacy and security
of personal information (also known as personal data), litigation, governmental investigations and proceedings and regulatory penalties,
and we may suffer interruptions in our ability to manage our operations and reputational, competitive or business harm, which may adversely
affect our business, results of operations and financial results. In addition, such events could result in unauthorized disclosure of
material confidential information, and we may suffer financial and reputational damage because of lost or misappropriated confidential
information belonging to us or to our employees, stockholders, customers, suppliers, consumers or others. In any of these events, we could
also be required to spend significant financial and other resources to remedy the damage caused by a security breach or technological
failure and the reputational damage resulting therefrom, to pay for investigations, forensic analyses, legal advice, public relations
advice or other services, or to repair or replace networks and IT systems. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, a greater number of our
employees are working remotely and accessing our IT systems and networks remotely, which may further increase our vulnerability to cybercrimes
and cyberattacks and increase the stress on our technology infrastructure and systems.

 Our failure to adequately maintain and protect
personal information of our customers or our employees in compliance with evolving legal requirements could have a material adverse effect
on our business.

 We collect, use, store, disclose
or transfer (collectively, "process") personal information, including from employees and customers, in connection with the
operation of our business. A wide variety of local and international laws as well as regulations and industry guidelines apply to the
privacy and collecting, storing, use, processing, disclosure, and protection of personal information and may be inconsistent among countries
or conflict with other rules. Data protection and privacy laws and regulations are changing, subject to differing interpretations and
being tested in courts and may result in increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions.

 A variety of data protection
legislation apply in the United States at both the federal and state level, including new laws that may impact our operations. For example,
the State of California has enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 ("CCPA"), which generally requires companies
that collect, use, share and otherwise process "personal information" (which is broadly defined) of California residents to
make disclosures about their data collection, use, and sharing practices, allows consumers to opt-out of certain data sharing with third
parties or the sale of personal information, allows consumers to exercise certain rights with respect to any personal information collected
and provides a new cause of action for data breaches. In addition, a new privacy law, the California Privacy Rights Act ("CPRA"),
which significantly modifies the CCPA, was recently approved by ballot initiative during the November 3, 2021 general election. On January
1, 2023 the CCPA became effective and added additional privacy protection. This may require us to incur additional expenditures to ensure
compliance. Additionally, the Federal Trade Commission, and many state attorneys general are interpreting federal and state consumer protection
laws to impose standards for the online collection, use, dissemination, and security of data. The burdens imposed by the CCPA and other
similar laws that have been or may be enacted at the federal and state level may require us to modify our data processing practices and
policies and to incur additional expenditures in order to comply.

 Foreign laws and regulations
relating to privacy, data protection, information security and consumer protection often are more restrictive than those in the United
States. The European Union, for example, traditionally has imposed stricter obligations under its laws and regulations relating to privacy,
data protection and consumer protection than the United States. In May 2018 the European Union's new regulation governing data practices
and privacy called the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, became effective and substantially replaced the data protection laws
of the individual European Union member states. The law requires companies to meet more stringent requirements regarding the handling
of personal data of individuals in the EU than were required under predecessor EU requirements. In the United Kingdom, a Data Protection
Bill that substantially implements the GDPR also became law in May 2018. The GDPR and other similar regulations require companies to give
specific types of notice and in some cases seek consent from consumers and other data subjects before collecting or using their data for
certain purposes, including some marketing activities. Outside of the European Union, many countries have laws, regulations, or other
requirements relating to privacy, data protection, information security, and consumer protection, and new countries are adopting such
legislation or other obligations with increasing frequency. Many of these laws may require consent from consumers for the use of data
for various purposes, including marketing, which may reduce our ability to market our products. There is no harmonized approach to these
laws and regulations globally. Consequently, we would increase our risk of non-compliance with applicable foreign data protection laws
by expanding internationally. We may need to change and limit the way we use personal information in operating our business and may have
difficulty maintaining a single operating model that is compliant. In addition, various federal, state and foreign legislative and regulatory
bodies, or self-regulatory organizations, may expand current laws or regulations, enact new laws or regulations or issue revised rules
or guidance regarding privacy, data protection, information security and consumer protection.

 Compliance with these and
any other applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations is a rigorous and time-intensive process, and we may be required
to put in place additional mechanisms ensuring compliance with the new privacy and data protection laws and regulations. Our actual or
alleged failure to comply with any applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations, industry standards or contractual obligations,
or to protect such information and data that we process, could result in litigation, regulatory investigations, and enforcement actions
against us, including fines, orders, public censure, claims for damages by employees, customers and other affected individuals, public
statements against us by consumer advocacy groups, damage to our reputation and competitive position and loss of goodwill (both in relation
to existing customers and prospective customers) any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition,
results of operations, and cash flows. Additionally, if third parties that we work with, such as vendors or developers, violate applicable
laws or our policies, such violations may also place personal information at risk and have an adverse effect on our business. Even the
perception of privacy concerns, whether or not valid, may harm our reputation, subject us to regulatory scrutiny and investigations, and
inhibit adoption of our wines by existing and potential customers.

 Risks related to regulation.

 As a producer of alcoholic beverages, we
are regularly the subject of regulatory reviews, proceedings and audits by governmental entities, any of which could result in an adverse
ruling or conclusion, and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and future
prospects.

 We are subject to extensive
regulation in the United States by federal, state, and local laws regulating the production, distribution and sale of consumable food
items, and specifically alcoholic beverages, including by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (the "TTB") and the
Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"). These and other regulatory agencies impose a number of product safety, labelling
and other requirements on our operations and sales. In California, where all of our wines are made, we are subject to alcohol-related
licensing and regulations by many authorities, including the Department of Alcohol Beverage Control (the "ABC"), which investigates
applications for licenses to sell alcoholic beverages, reports on the moral character and fitness of alcohol license applicants and the
suitability of premises where sales are to be conducted. We are also subject to regulatory compliance requirements in all states in which
we sell our wines. Any governmental litigation, fines, or restrictions on our operations resulting from the enforcement of these existing
regulations or any new legislation or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial
results. Any government intervention challenging the production, marketing, promotion, distribution or sale of beverage alcohol or specific
brands could affect our ability to sell our wines. Because litigation and other legal proceedings can be costly to defend, even actions
that are ultimately decided in our favor could have a negative impact on our business, results of operations or financial results. Adverse
developments in major lawsuits concerning these or other matters could result in management distraction and have a material adverse effect
on our business. Changes to the interpretation or approach to enforcement of regulations may require changes to our business practices
or the business practices of our suppliers, distributors, or customers. The penalties associated with any violations or infractions may
vary in severity, and could result in a significant impediment to our business operations, and could cause us to have to suspend sales
of our wines in a jurisdiction for a period of time.

 New and changing environmental requirements,
and new market pressures related to climate change, could materially and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
results.

 There has been significant
public discussion related to concerns that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have an adverse impact on global
temperatures, weather patterns and the frequency and severity of extreme weather and natural disasters. Federal regulations govern, among
other things, air emissions, wastewater and stormwater discharges, and the treatment, handling and storage and disposal of materials and
wastes. State environmental regulations and authorities intended to address and oversee environmental issues are largely state-level analogues
to federal regulations and authorities intended to perform the similar purposes. We are subject to local environmental regulations that
address a number of elements of our wine production process, including air quality, the handing of hazardous waste, recycling, water use
and discharge, emissions and traffic impacts. Compliance with these and other environmental regulation requires significant resources.
Continued regulatory and market trends towards sustainability may require or incentivize us to make changes to our current business operations.
We may experience future increases in the costs associated with environmental regulatory compliance, including fees, licenses and the
cost of capital improvements to meet environmental regulatory requirements. Although we don't cultivate our own grapes, increased
costs associated with environmental regulatory compliance may impact grape growers, which may increase out costs to purchase bulk juice.

 Changes in foreign and domestic laws and
government regulations to which we are currently subject, including changes to the method or approach of enforcement of these government
rules and regulations, may increase our costs or limit our ability to sell our wines into certain markets, which could materially and
adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 Government laws and regulations
may result in increased production and sales costs, including an increase on the applicable tax in various state, federal and foreign
jurisdictions in which we do business. The amount of wine that we can sell directly to consumers outside of California is regulated, and
in certain states we are not allowed to sell wines directly to consumers at all. Changes in these laws and regulations that tighten current
rules could have an adverse impact on sales or increase costs to produce, market, package or sell wine. Changes in regulation that require
significant additional source data for registration and sale, in the labelling or warning requirements, or limitations on the permissibility
of any component, condition or ingredient, in the places in which our wines can be legally sold could inhibit sales of affected products
in those markets.

 The wine industry is subject
to extensive regulation by a number of foreign and domestic agencies, state liquor authorities and local authorities. These regulations
and laws dictate such matters as licensing requirements, land use, production methods, trade and pricing practices, permitted distribution
channels, permitted and required labelling, advertising, sequestration of classes of wine and relations with wholesalers and retailers.
Any expansion of our existing facilities may be limited by present and future zoning ordinances, use permit terms, environmental restrictions
and other legal requirements. In addition, new or updated regulations, requirements or licenses, particularly changes that impact our
ability to sell DTC and/or retain accounts in California, or new or increased excise taxes, income taxes, property and sales taxes or
international tariffs, could affect our financial condition or results of operations. From time to time, states consider proposals to
increase state alcohol excise taxes. New or revised regulations or increased licensing fees, requirements or taxes could have a material
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

 Risks related to our common stock

 Our failure to
maintain continued compliance with the listing requirements of the NYSE American exchange could result in the delisting of our common
stock.

 Our
common stock has been listed on the NYSE American exchange since our December 2021 initial public offering. The rules of NYSE American
provide that the NYSE American may, in its discretion, suspend dealings in, or may remove any security from, listing. As a matter of policy,
NYSE American will consider the delisting of a security when the financial condition and/or operating results of a company appear to be
unsatisfactory, the extent of public distribution or the aggregate market value of the security has become so reduced as to make further
dealings on the NYSE American inadvisable, the company has sold or otherwise disposed of its principal operating assets, or has ceased
to be an operating company, the company has failed to comply with its listing agreements with the NYSE American, or any other event shall
occur or any condition shall exist which makes further dealings on the NYSE American unwarranted. For example, the NYSE American considers
suspending trading in, or removing the listing of, securities of an issuer that has stockholders' equity of less than (i) $2 million
if such issuer has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two of its three most recent fiscal years, (ii) $4
million if such issuer has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years,
or (iii) $6 million if such issuer has sustained losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years.
The NYSE American will also consider suspending trading in, or removing the listing of, securities of an issuer that has sustained losses
which are so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become
so impaired that it appears questionable as to whether such issuer will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as
they mature.

 On
September 8, 2023, we received a written notice (the "Notice") from NYSE American stating that we were not in compliance with
the $4 million stockholders' equity requirement of Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE American Company Guide (the "Company Guide").
We reported stockholders' equity of $2.4 million as of June 30, 2023, the end of our second fiscal quarter of 2023, and have had
losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022. As required by
the NYSE American, we submitted a plan to the NYSE American on October 9, 2023 addressing actions we have taken or and how we intend to
regain compliance with the continued listing standards by March 8, 2025.

 On
November 21, 2023, we received notification (the "Acceptance Letter") from NYSE American that the Company's plan to
regain compliance with NYSE American's listing standards was accepted. The Acceptance Letter also stated that the Company is
not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of the Company Guide, which requires an issuer to have stockholders' equity of $2.0 million
or more if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in two out of its three most recent fiscal years. The Company
reported stockholders' equity of $1.1 million as of September 30, 2023, the end of its third fiscal quarter of 2023, and has had
losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in each of its fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022.

 NYSE
American has granted the Company a plan period through March 8, 2025 to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and (ii) of the Company
Guide. If the Company is not in compliance with all continued listing standards by that date or if the Company does not make progress
consistent with the plan during the plan period, the Company will be subject to delisting proceedings. The Company will be subject
to periodic NYSE American reviews, including quarterly monitoring for compliance with the plan. We cannot make any assurance regarding
whether we will be able to make progress consistent with the plan or ultimately regain compliance with the NYSE American listing standards.
Our common stock will continue to be listed on the NYSE American while we attempt to regain compliance with the listing standard noted,
subject to our compliance with other continued listing requirements. Our common stock will continue to trade under the symbol "VINE,"
but will be included in the list of NYSE American noncompliant issuers, and the below compliance (".BC") indicator will be
disseminated with our ticker symbol. The website posting and.BC indicator would be removed when we have regained compliance with all
applicable continued listing standards.

 If
NYSE American delists our common stock from trading on the exchange and we are not able to list our securities on another national securities
exchange, we expect shares of our common shares would qualify to be quoted on an over-the-counter market. If this were to occur, we could
experience a number of adverse consequences, including:

 limited
availability of market quotations for the common stock;

 reduced
liquidity for our securities;

 our
common shares being categorized as a "penny stock," which requires brokers trading in our common shares to adhere to more
stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for our common stock; and

 decreased
ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.

 In
addition, the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996 generally preempts the states from regulating the sale of "covered
securities." Our common shares qualify as "covered securities" because they are listed on NYSE American. If our common
shares were no longer listed on NYSE American, our securities would not be "covered securities" and we would be subject to
regulation in each state in which we offer our securities.

 If our common stock
becomes subject to the penny stock rules, it would become more difficult to trade our shares.

 The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in
connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than
securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or authorized for quotation on certain automated quotation systems, provided
that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system. If we
do not retain our listing on NYSE American and if the price of our common stock is less than $5.00, our common stock may be deemed a penny
stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, before a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to
deliver a standardized risk disclosure document containing specified information. In addition, the penny stock rules require that before
effecting any transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, a broker-dealer must make a special written determination
that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive (i) the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt
of a risk disclosure statement; (ii) a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks; and (iii) a signed and dated copy of
a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market
for our common stock, and therefore stockholders may have difficulty selling their shares.

 We will incur significant legal, accounting,
and other expenses associated with our public company reporting requirements and corporate governance requirements.

 As
a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting, and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company, including
costs associated with our public company reporting requirements and corporate governance requirements, including requirements under the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as new rules implemented by the SEC and the NYSE American.

 As
an example of reporting requirements, we are evaluating our internal control systems in order to allow management to report on our internal
control over financing reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. As a company with limited capital and
human resources, we anticipate that more of management's time and attention will be diverted from our business to ensure compliance
with these regulatory requirements than would be the case with a company that has established controls and procedures. This diversion
of management's time and attention may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 We are eligible to be treated as an emerging
growth company, and we cannot be certain that the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will not make
our shares less attractive to investors.

 We are an emerging growth
company, as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions
from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, among
others, (1) not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, (2) reduced
disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, (3) exemptions from the requirements
of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously
approved and (4) the requirement to present only two years of audited financial statements and only two years of related "Management's
discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations" in this report. We could be an emerging growth company
for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our common stock
held by non-affiliates exceeds $700.0 million as of the end of the second fiscal quarter in any fiscal year before that time or if we
have total annual gross revenues of $1.07 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which case we would no longer be
an emerging growth company as of the fiscal year end, or if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year
period before that time we would cease to be an emerging growth company immediately. We cannot predict if investors will find our shares
of common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our common stock less attractive as a
result, there may be a less active trading market for our common stock and our share price may be more volatile.

 Under the JOBS Act, emerging
growth companies can also delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies.
We have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective
dates for public and private companies and intend to continue such election until the earlier of the date we (i) are no longer an emerging
growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided in the JOBS Act. Our financial
statements may therefore not be comparable to those of other public companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 As a result of being a public company, we
are obligated to develop and maintain proper and effective internal control over financial reporting and any failure to maintain the adequacy
of these internal controls may negatively impact investor confidence in our company and, as a result, the value of our common stock.

 We are required pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act to furnish a report by management on, among other things, the effectiveness of our internal control
over financial reporting. This assessment will need to include disclosure of any material weaknesses identified by our management in our
internal control over financial reporting. In addition, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to
the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our first annual report required to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") following the date we are no longer an emerging growth company. Any failure to maintain
effective internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition or
results of operations. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent
registered public accounting firm determines we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, we could lose
investor confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common stock could decline, we
could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the NYSE American, the SEC or other regulatory authorities and our access to the capital
markets could be restricted.

 In this report, our management
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting were not effective as of December
31, 2023 due to the existence of a material weakness related to internal controls over financial reporting. See Item 9A - Controls and
Procedures. Although we intend to engage in activities aimed at remediating these material weaknesses, our remediation activities may
not be successful, and our management may continue to conclude that our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over
financial reporting are not effective in future periods.

 Provisions of our corporate governance documents
could make an acquisition of our Company more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current
management, even if beneficial to our stockholders.

 Our articles of incorporation
and bylaws and the Nevada Revised Statutes contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even
if doing so might be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:

 advance
notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations;

 the
ability of our board of directors to issue new series of, and designate the terms of, preferred stock, without stockholder approval,
which could be used to, among other things, institute a rights plan that would have the effect of significantly diluting the stock ownership
of a potential hostile acquirer, likely preventing acquisitions that have not been approved by our board of directors; and

 limitations
on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings and to take action by written consent.

 Because our board of directors
is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt to replace current
members of our management team. As a result, you may lose your ability to sell your stock for a price in excess of the prevailing market
price due to these protective measures, and efforts by stockholders to change the direction or management of the Company may be unsuccessful.

 Your percentage ownership in us may be diluted
by future issuances of capital stock, which could reduce your influence over matters on which stockholders vote.

 Pursuant to our articles
of incorporation and bylaws, our board of directors has the authority, without action or vote of our stockholders, to issue all or any
part of our authorized but unissued shares of common stock, including shares issuable upon the exercise of options, or shares of our authorized
but unissued preferred stock. Issuances of common stock or voting preferred stock would reduce your influence over matters on which our
stockholders vote and, in the case of issuances of preferred stock, would likely result in your interest in us being subject to the prior
rights of holders of that preferred stock.

 An active, liquid trading market for our
common stock may not develop, which may limit your ability to sell your shares.

 Prior to our December 2021
initial public offering, there was no public market for our common stock. Although we list shares of our common stock on the NYSE American
under the symbol "VINE," an active trading market for our shares may not develop or be sustained going forward. A public trading
market having the desirable characteristics of depth, liquidity and orderliness depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers
at any given time, such existence being dependent upon the individual decisions of buyers and sellers over which neither we nor any market
maker has control. The failure of an active and liquid trading market to develop and continue would likely have a material adverse effect
on the value of our common stock. The market price of our common stock may decline, and you may not be able to sell your shares of our
common stock at or above the price you paid for them, or at all. An inactive market may also impair our ability to raise capital to continue
to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration.

 Sales of a substantial number of shares
of our common stock in the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to drop significantly, even if our business
is performing well.

 Sales of a substantial number
of shares of our common stock in the public market could occur at any time. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders
of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our common stock.

 As a public company, we are subject to additional
laws, regulations and stock exchange listing standards, which will result in additional costs to us and may strain our resources and divert
our management's attention.

 Prior to our December 2021
initial public offering, we operated on a private basis. As a public reporting company, we are now subject to the reporting requirements
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street
Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, the listing requirements of the NYSE American and other applicable securities laws and regulations.
Compliance with these laws and regulations will increase our legal and financial compliance costs and make some activities more difficult,
time-consuming or costly. We also expect that being a public company and being subject to new rules and regulations will make it more
expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to accept reduced coverage or incur substantially
higher costs to obtain coverage. However, the incremental costs that we incur as a result of becoming a public company could exceed our
estimate. These factors may therefore strain our resources, divert management's attention and affect our ability to attract and
retain qualified members of our board of directors.

 Since we have no current plans to pay regular
cash dividends on our common stock, you may not receive any return on investment unless you sell your common stock for a price greater
than that which you paid for it.

 We do not anticipate paying
any regular cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any decision to declare and pay dividends in the future will
be made at the discretion of our board of directors and will depend on, among other things, our results of operations, financial condition,
cash requirements, contractual restrictions, and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. In addition, our ability
to pay dividends is, and may be, limited by covenants of existing and any future outstanding indebtedness we incur. Therefore, any return
on investment in our common stock is solely dependent upon the appreciation of the price of our common stock on the open market, which
may not occur.

 If securities or industry analysts do not
publish research or reports about our business, if they adversely change their recommendations regarding our shares or if our results
of operations do not meet their expectations, our share price and trading volume could decline.

 The trading market for our
shares will be influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not
have any control over these analysts. Securities and industry analysts do not currently, and may never, publish research on our Company.
If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our Company, the trading price of our shares would likely be negatively impacted.
In the event securities or industry analysts-initiated coverage, and one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our Company or fail
to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading
volume to decline. Moreover, if one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade our stock, or if our results of operations do not meet
their expectations, our share price could decline.

 General risks

 Our operating results and share price may
be volatile, and the market price of our common stock may drop below the price you pay.

 Our operating results are
likely to fluctuate in the future as a publicly traded company, which may occur during the pendency of the Merger transaction or following
completion of the Merger. In addition, securities markets worldwide have experienced, and are likely to continue to experience, significant
price and volume fluctuations. This market volatility, as well as general economic, market or political conditions, could subject the
market price of our shares to wide price fluctuations regardless of our operating performance. You may not be able to resell your shares
at or above the price that you paid or pay for them or at all. Our operating results and the trading price of our shares may fluctuate
in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control, may cause our operating results and the market price and demand
for our shares to fluctuate substantially. While we believe that operating results for any particular year or quarter are not necessarily
a meaningful indication of future results, fluctuations in our yearly or quarterly operating results could limit or prevent investors
from readily selling their shares and may otherwise negatively affect the market price and liquidity of our shares. In addition, in the
past, when the market price of a stock has been volatile, holders of that stock have sometimes instituted securities class action litigation
against the company that issued the stock. If any of our stockholders brought a lawsuit against us, we could incur substantial costs
defending the lawsuit. Such a lawsuit could also divert the time and attention of our management from our business, which could significantly
harm our profitability and reputation.

 We may require additional debt and equity
capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances. If such capital
is not available to us, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

 We may require additional
capital to pursue our business objectives and respond to business opportunities, challenges, or unforeseen circumstances, including to
increase our marketing expenditures to improve our wine brand awareness, build and maintain our product inventory, develop new wines,
enhance our operating infrastructure and acquire complementary businesses. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings
to secure additional funds. However, additional funds may not be available when we need them on terms that are acceptable to us or at
all. Moreover, any debt financing that we secure in the future could involve restrictive covenants, which may make it more difficult for
us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities. Volatility in the credit markets may also have an adverse effect
on our ability to obtain debt financing. If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities,
our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new equity securities we issue could have rights, preferences, and
privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory
to us when we require it, we may be forced to obtain financing on undesirable terms or our ability to continue to pursue our business
objectives and to respond to business opportunities, challenges or unforeseen circumstances could be significantly limited, and our business,
financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

 ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

 Not applicable.

 ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY.

 The Company has not adopted any formal cybersecurity risk management
program or formal processes for assessing, identifying, and managing material risks from cybersecurity threats. The full board of directors
has oversight responsibility for the Company's overall risk management, including cybersecurity risk, and has not delegated oversight
authority for cybersecurity risks to any committee. In fiscal year 2023, we did not identify any cybersecurity threats that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition.

 ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

 Through October 31, 2022,
our principal executive offices located at 505 Highway 169 North, Suite 255, Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 were leased by Rabbit Hole Equity,
L.L.C., a Texas limited liability company that serves as a family office that manages a portfolio of business investments held by our
former Executive Chairman and his affiliates ("Rabbit Hole Equity"). Pursuant to an unwritten month-to-month arrangement,
a portion of Rabbit Hole Equity's lease payments were allocated to the Company. Effective November 1, 2022, we terminated this lease
arrangement and currently maintain a virtual administrative office environment. The address, for mailing purposes, of our principle executive
offices is P.O. Box 78984, Charlotte, NC 28271.

 Our production facility, which we occupied on an alternating proprietorship
basis, was located in Napa, California. The initial term of the Alternating Proprietorship Agreement with our "host winery"
expired in July 2022, but was renewed and was ultimately terminated in December 2023.

 We utilize two warehouse
facilities in American Canyon, California. We pay storage fees per pallet and entry and exit processing fees.

 We expect that the current
properties will be adequate for our current office and production needs.

 During the year ended December
31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, we incurred approximately $0 and $94,436 in facilities rental expense.

 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

 We may be subject to legal
disputes and subject to claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Except as set forth below, we are not a party or subject
to any pending legal proceedings the resolution of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results,
cash flows or financial condition.

 Timothy Michaels Lawsuit

 The Company was a defendant in a lawsuit styled Timothy Michaels
v. Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. filed May 27, 2022 in the Fourth Judicial District Court, Hennepin County, Minnesota. The lawsuit related
to a complaint filed by Mr. Michaels resulting from the Company including a restricted "lock-up" legend on shares of the Company's
common stock issued to Mr. Michaels pursuant to a settlement agreement that the Company entered into with Mr. Michaels following termination
of his employment and for not removing or directing the Company's transfer agent to remove such legend. A jury trial commenced on
January 23, 2024. During trial, on January 24, 2024, the Company filed a motion for judgement in favor of the Company as a matter of law,
which was denied by the Court. On January 25, 2024, the jury in the lawsuit rendered a verdict against the Company awarding damages to
Mr. Michaels in the amount of $585,976.25. On February 22, 2024, the Company filed a renewed motion for post-verdict judgment in favor
of the Company as a matter of law. On February 26, 2024, the Judge in the lawsuit denied the renewed motion for post-verdict judgment.
The Company is assessing the options available to it, including the possibility of appealing the verdict. Although the Company believes
it has legal grounds to appeal the verdict, continued litigation and related actions may be expensive, the outcome of any litigation (including
any appeal) is difficult to predict, and the existence of litigation may impact the ability of management to focus on other business matters.
Furthermore, the Company will be required to post an appeals bond in order to stay execution of the money judgment pending any appeal.
Given the Company's current financial position, the cost of such an appeals bond is uncertain and may be higher than the typical
cost of such a bond or require the Company to provide cash or other collateral.

 Website-related Plaintiff's Lawsuit

 On January 26, 2024,
the Company was served with a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that
the Company has failed to design, construct, maintain and operate its Internet website to be fully accessible to and independently usable
by blind or visually-impaired persons, thereby denying blind and visually-impaired persons with equal access to the Company's goods
and services in violation of the Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the New York Human Rights Law, the New York
Civil Rights Law. On February 16, 2024, the Company filed an Answer to the complaint denying the plaintiff's allegations and asserting
affirmative defenses thereto.

 ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES.

 ITEM 6. [RESERVED].

 ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

 The following discussion
and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related
notes to those statements as included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition to historical financial information, the
following discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. See "Cautionary
Note Regarding Forward-looking Statements" included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our actual results may differ
materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed in Part I
"Item 1A. Risk Factors" included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under this "Fresh Vine Management's Discussion
And Analysis Of Financial Condition And Results Of Operations," "we," "us," "our" "Fresh
Vine Wine," "Fresh Vine" and the "Company" refer to Fresh Vine.

 Overview

 Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. is
a producer of low carb, low calorie, premium wines in the United States. Founded in 2019, Fresh Vine brings an innovative "better-for-you"
solution to the wine market. We currently sell seven varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Ros,
Sparkling Ros, and a limited Reserve Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. All varietals are produced and bottled in Napa, California.

 Fresh Vine's wines
are distributed across the United States and Puerto Rico through wholesale, retail, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) channels. Fresh Vine
is able to conduct wholesale distribution of our wines in all 50 states and Puerto Rico, and it is licensed to sell through DTC channels
in 43 states. As of December 31, 2023, Fresh Vine holds active relationships with wholesale distributors in 50 states. Fresh Vine is working
with leading distributors, including Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits (SGWS), Johnson Brothers, and Republic National Distributing
Company (RNDC), to expand our presence across the contiguous United States.

 Fresh Vine's core
wine offerings are priced strategically to appeal to mass markets and sell at a list price between $15 and $25 per bottle. Given the
Fresh Vine Wine brand's "better-for-you" appeal, and overall product quality, Fresh Vine believes that it presents
today's consumers with a unique value proposition within this price category. Additionally, Fresh Vine Wine is one of very few
products available at this price point that includes a named winemaker, Jamey Whetstone.

 Fresh Vine's marketing
activities focus primarily on consumers in the 21-to-34-year-old demographic with moderate to affluent income and on those with a desire
to pursue a healthy and active lifestyle.

 Fresh Vine's asset-light
operating model allows it to utilize third-party assets, including land and production facilities. This approach helps us mitigate many
of the risks associated with agribusiness, such as isolated droughts or fires. Because Fresh Vine sources product inputs from multiple
geographically dispersed vendors, it reduces reliance on any one vendor and benefit from broad availability/optionality of product inputs.
This is particularly important as a California-based wine producer where droughts or fires can have an extremely detrimental impact to
a company's supply chain if not diversified.

 Key Financial Metrics

 We use net revenue, gross
profit (loss) and net income (loss) to evaluate the performance of Fresh Vine. These metrics are useful in helping us to identify trends
in our business, prepare financial forecasts and make capital allocation decisions, and assess the comparable health of our business relative
to our direct competitors.

 Components of Results of Operations and Trends That May Impact
Our Results of Operations

 Net revenue

 Our net revenue consists
primarily of wine sales to distributors and retailers, which together comprise our wholesale channel, and directly to individual consumers
through our DTC channel. Net revenues generally represent wine sales and shipping, when applicable, and to a lesser extent branded merchandise
and wine club memberships. For wine and merchandise sales, revenues are recognized at time of shipment. For Wine Club memberships, revenues
are recognized quarterly at the time of fulfilment.

 We
refer to the volume of wine we sell in terms of cases. Each case contains 12 standard bottles, in which each bottle has a volume of 750
milliliters. Cases are sold through Wholesale/Retail or DTC channels.

 The
following factors and trends in our business have driven our net revenue results and are expected to be key drivers of our net revenue
for the foreseeable future:

 Brand recognition: As
we expand our marketing presence and drive visibility through traditional and modern marketing methods, we expect to build awareness and
name recognition for Fresh Vine Wine in consumers' minds. Brand awareness will be built substantially through social media channels.
Our brand, and to a large extent our direct-to-consumer sales outlet, has historically been dependent on the image and popularity of,
and affinity towards, Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough. Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough served as celebrity spokespersons and ambassadors of our
company, and actively endorsed our wines on their sizable social media and other outlets pursuant to agreements that granted us licenses
to use their pre-approved name, likeness, image, and other indicia of identity, as well as certain content published on their social media
and other channels, on and in conjunction with the sale and related pre-approved advertising and promotion of our wine. Such license agreements
terminated on September 7, 2023 and, as a result, we will be required to refocus our marketing and brand promotion efforts. See "Item
1A Risk Factors - We have relied heavily on celebrities to endorse our wines and market our brand pursuant to license agreements which
have been terminated."

 Portfolio
evolution: As a relatively new, high-growth brand, we expect and seek to learn from our consumers. We intend to continuously
evolve and refine our products to meet our consumers' specific needs and wants, adapting our offering to maximize value for our
consumers and stakeholders.

 Distribution
expansion and acceleration: Purchasing by distributors and loyal accounts that continue to feature our wines are key drivers
of net revenue.

 Seasonality: In
line with industry norms, we anticipate our net revenue peaking during the quarter spanning from October through December due to increased
consumer demand around the major holidays. This is particularly true in our DTC revenue channel, where marketing programs will often be
aligned with the holiday season and product promotions will be prevalent.

 Revenue Channels

 Our
sales and distribution platform is built upon a highly developed network of distributor accounts. Within this network, we have signed
agreements in place with several of the nation's largest distributors including Southern Glazer's Wine & Spirits
and RNDC, among others. While we are actively working with these distributors in certain markets, they operate across the United States,
and we intend to grow our geographic/market presence through these relationships. The development of these relationships and impacts to
our related product mix will impact on our financial results as our channel mix shifts.

 Wholesale channel: Consistent with sales practices in the wine industry, sales to retailers and distributors
occur below SRP (Suggested Retail Price). We work closely with distributors to increase wine volumes and the number of products sold by
their retail accounts in their respective territories.

 DTC channel: Wines sold through our DTC channels are generally sold at SRP, although we do periodically
offer various promotions. Our DTC channel continues to grow as a result of a number of factors, including expanded e-commerce sites and
social media capabilities.

 Related party services: We previously entered into service agreements with related parties in the wine
industry to provide representation and distribution services. These services were suspended in June 2022 to allow the Company's
lean team to prioritize the growth and expansion of the Fresh Vine Wine brand.

 Wholesale
channel sales made on credit terms generally require payment within 30 days of delivery; however our credit terms with Southern Glazer's
Wine & Spirits requires payment within 60 days of delivery. During periods in which our net revenue channel mix reflects a greater
concentration of wholesale sales, we typically experience an increase in accounts receivable for the period to reflect the change in sales
mix; payment collections in the subsequent period generally reduce our accounts receivable balance and have a positive impact on cash
flows.

 While
we seek to increase revenue across all channels, we expect the majority of our future revenue to be driven through the wholesale channel.
We intend to maintain and expand relationships with existing distributors and form relationships with new distributors as we work to grow
the Company. With multiple varietals within the Fresh Vine Wine portfolio, we consider ourselves to be a 'one-stop shop' for
better-for-you wines. We continue to innovate with new products at competitive price points and strive to enhance the experience as we
increase revenue with new and existing consumers.

 In
the DTC channel, our comprehensive approach to consumer engagement in both online and traditional forums is supported by an integrated
e-commerce platform. Our marketing efforts target consumers who have an interest in healthy and active lifestyles. We attempt to motivate
consumers toward a simple and easy purchasing decision using a combination of defined marketing programs and a modernized technology stack.

 Increasing
customer engagement is a key driver of our business and results of operations. We continue to invest in our DTC channel and in performance
marketing to drive customer engagement. In addition to developing new product offerings and cross-selling wines in our product portfolio,
we focus on increasing customer conversion and retention. As we continue to invest in our DTC channel, we expect to increase customer
engagement and subsequently deliver greater satisfaction. We also distribute our wines via other wine e-commerce sites such as Wine.com
and Vivino.com and plan to continue to add affiliate retail websites.

 Net Revenue Percentage by Channel

 We calculate net revenue
percentage by channel as net revenue made through our wholesale channel to distributors, through our wholesale channel directly to retail
accounts, and through our DTC channel, respectively, as a percentage of our total net revenue. We monitor net revenue percentage across
revenue channels to understand the effectiveness of our distribution model and to ensure we are employing resources effectively as we
engage customers.

 Cost of Revenues

 Cost of revenues is comprised of all direct product costs such as juice, bottles, caps, corks, labels,
and capsules. Additionally, we also categorize boxes and quality assurance testing within our cost of revenues. Fresh Vine expects that
cost of revenues will increase as net revenue increases. As the volume of the product inputs increases, Fresh Vine intends to work to
renegotiate vendor contracts with key suppliers to reduce overall product input costs as a percentage of net revenue. Based on a proposed
sale of inventory at a price below the Company's cost, the Company completed an evaluation of the net realizable value of our inventory
during the year ended December 31, 2023. As a result of this evaluation, the Company recorded a $1.7 million inventory write down
to reflect it at its net realizable value at June 30, 2023 and an additional approximately $100,000 was written down by December 31, 2023.
This is recorded in cost of revenue in the financial statements. The inventory reserve balance at December 31, 2023 is approximately $112,000.

 Additionally, the Company
includes shipping fees in all DTC revenues. These fees are paid by end consumers at time of order and subsequently itemized within the
cost of each individual sale.

 As a commodity product, the
cost of wine fluctuates due to annual harvest yields and the availability of juice. This macroeconomic consideration is not unique to
Fresh Vine Wine, although we are conscious of its potential impact to our product cost structure.

 Gross Profit (Loss)

 Gross profit (loss) is equal
to our net revenue less cost of revenues.

 Selling, General, and Administrative Expenses

 Selling, general, and administrative
expenses consist of selling expenses, marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses. Selling expenses consist primarily
of direct selling expenses in our wholesale and DTC channels, including payroll and related costs, product samples, processing fees, and
other outside service fees or consulting fees. Marketing expenses consist primarily of advertising costs to promote brand awareness, contract
fees incurred as a result of significant sports marketing agreements, customer retention costs, payroll, and related costs. General and
administrative expenses consist primarily of payroll and related costs.

 Equity-Based Compensation

consists of the accounting expense resulting from our issuance of equity or equity-based grants issued in exchange for employee or non-employee
services. We measure equity-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize the compensation
expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. We recognize any forfeitures as they occur.

 We had net revenue in fiscal
2023 of $1,826,190. Net revenue in fiscal 2022 was $2,860,001. The decrease in net revenue was attributable to decreasing sales and marketing
spending, the termination of related party sales agreements and increased billbacks. We generated net revenue of $1,328,382 during fiscal
2023 from our wholesale distribution channel and $497,808 of net revenue from our direct-to-consumer sales channel. This revenue distribution
represents 73% and 27%, respectively, of our net revenue during the period.

 For the year ended December
31, 2023, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 45%, compared to the period ended December 31, 2022. Selling, general
and administrative expense decreases were largely driven by certain one-time charges associated with the leadership transition in 2022,
as well as decreases in general and administrative expenses due to lower staffing headcount and related salaries and less consulting,
legal and financial expenses as operational activity decreased from 2022 to 2023. The year-over-year decrease in marketing expenses primarily
resulted from decreased advertising, social media marketing, tastings, and other promotion materials and events as selling and marketing
expenses are directly related to sale trends.

 Net cash used in operating
activities was ($4,809,009) and ($13,528,251) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash used in
operating activities decreased in the period ended December 31, 2023 primarily because of one-time selling, general and administrative
expenses in 2022 driven by charges associated with the leadership transition, as well as decreases in general and administrative expenses
due to lower staffing headcount and related salaries and less consulting, legal and financial expenses as operational activity decreased
from 2022 to 2023. The decrease is also due to the fact that no inventory purchases were made in 2023 to maintain our inventory levels
to meet demand and reductions in costs for staffing and marketing activities.

 Net cash used in investing
activities was $500,000 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash used in investing activities
in the 2023 period was from the investment made to Notes Live, Inc, see Note 5.

 Net cash provided by (used
in) financing activities was $3,565,014 and $(455,355) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The
difference is due to the Rights Offering of $2,615,014 and the issuance of preferred stock for a net of $950,000 during the year ended
December 31, 2023.

 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 Our primary cash needs are
for working capital purposes, such as producing or purchasing inventory and funding operating expenses. We have funded our operations
through equity and debt financings, as described under the caption "Financing Transactions" below.

 We have incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since
our inception in May 2019, including net losses of approximately ($10.6) million and ($15.2) million during the years ended
December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $26.5 million and
a total stockholders' deficit of approximately $830,000. We expect to incur losses in future periods as we continue to operate our
business and incur expenses associated with being a public company.

 As
of December 31, 2023, we had $336,340 in cash and restricted cash, accounts receivable of $172,101, inventory of $337,873, and prepaid
expenses of $42,943. On December 31, 2023, current assets amounted to approximately $889,000 and current liabilities were $2.1 million
resulting in a working capital deficit (with working capital defined as current assets minus current liabilities) of approximately $1.3
million.

 Since
the commencement of its operations, the Company's operating and other expenses have significantly exceeded its revenues. The Company
put in place cash preservation initiatives in the second half of 2022, including a strategic restructuring plan aimed at cash resources
while continuing to focus on accelerating sales growth. That plan resulted in the termination of members of the Company's internal
sales team, the engagement of a third party vendor positioned to more efficiently and effectively facilitate sales, and the engagement
of a third party vendor to manage marketing initiatives and drive growth within the Direct-to-Consumer sales channel.

 During
the second quarter of 2023, the Company undertook a review of the Company's operations and strategic plans, and took measures aimed
at improving the Company's operational efficiency, curtailing operating expenses and further preserving cash resources. During the
year ended December 31, 2023, the Company continued to work to reduce its operating expenses, including reducing its warehousing costs,
while continuing to provide customers the opportunity to experience its wine and supporting its current retail customers and those purchasing
via the Company's wine club or from its website.

 Commencing in June 2023, the Company has worked aggressively to identify
prospective new sources of capital, while working with advisors to assess and improve its liquidity position, including from the sale
of existing inventory. Early in the third quarter, the Company entered into purchase orders for the sale of up to 45,000 cases of the
Company's wine to Grocery Outlet, a discount retailer, with sales occurring through the last part of 2023. The Company had sales
related to this agreement totaling approximately $829,000 for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 On
August 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors (the "Purchasers")
pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement shares of a newly created series of preferred stock designated
as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Stock"). Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers
collectively purchased 10,000 shares of Series A Stock at a per share purchase price equal to $100.00, for total gross proceeds of $1.0
million. See "Financing Transactions" below for a description of the Company's offering of Series A Stock.

 In
August 2023, Fresh Vine announced that it had initiated an exploration of strategic opportunities by way of merger, acquisition, or any
accretive strategic transaction to enhance stockholder value, which is a focus of the Company's plan to increase its stockholders'
equity and regain compliance with the NYSE American's continued listing standards. On January 25, 2024, Fresh Vine entered into
the Merger Agreement. See Part I, "Item 1 Business - Recent Developments – Anticipated Merger with Notes Live, Inc." included
elsewhere in this report.

 As disclosed under Item 3 - Legal Proceedings, the Company has been
a defendant in a lawsuit styled Timothy Michaels v. Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. filed May 27, 2022 in the Fourth Judicial District
Court, Hennepin County, Minnesota. On January 25, 2024, the jury in the lawsuit rendered a verdict against the Company awarding
damages to Mr. Michaels in the amount of $585,976.25. The damages awarded to Mr. Michaels by the trial court are not covered by the Company's
insurance policies. The Company is assessing the options available to it, including the possibility of appealing the verdict. Although
the Company believes it has legal grounds to appeal the verdict, continued litigation and related actions may be expensive, the outcome
of any litigation (including any appeal) is difficult to predict and the existence of continued litigation may impact the ability of management
to focus on other business matters. Furthermore, the Company will be required to post an appeals bond in order to stay execution of the
money judgment pending any appeal. Given the Company's current financial position, the cost of such an appeals bond is uncertain
and may be higher than the typical cost of such a bond or require the Company to provide cash or other collateral.

 At the current reduced pace of incurring expenses and without receipt
of additional financing, the Company projects that the existing cash balance will be sufficient to fund current operations into the first
quarter of 2024. The Company requires additional debt or equity financing to satisfy its existing obligations, sustain existing operations,
pay expenses associated with its pending business combination transaction and to satisfy financial related conditions to the closing of
such transaction. See "Current Strategy - The Merger" below. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms
or at all. If additional financing is available, it may be highly dilutive to existing stockholders and may otherwise include burdensome
or onerous terms. The Company's inability to raise additional working capital in a timely manner will negatively impact the ability
to fund operations, generate revenues, maintain or grow the business and otherwise execute the Company's business plan, including
its pursuit of its pending business combination transaction, leading to the reduction or suspension of operations and ultimately potentially
ceasing operations altogether and initiating bankruptcy proceedings. Should this occur, the value of any investment in the Company's
securities would be adversely affected.

 These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.

 Our ability to continue as
a going concern in the future will be determined by our ability to generate sufficient cash flow to sustain our operations, raise additional
capital in the form of debt or equity financing and/or complete a successful combination transaction with a suitable target company. Our
forecast of cash resources is forward-looking information that involves risks and uncertainties, and the actual amount of our expenses
could vary materially as a result of a number of factors. We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and our
revenue could prove to be less and our expenses higher than we currently anticipate. Management does not know whether additional financing
will be on terms favorable or acceptable to us when needed, if at all. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow to fund our operations
and adequate additional funds are not available when required, management may need to curtail its sales and marketing efforts, which would
adversely affect our business prospects, or we may be unable to continue operations.

 Current Strategy

 The Merger

 In August 2023, Fresh Vine
announced that it had initiated an exploration of strategic opportunities by way of merger, acquisition, or any accretive strategic transaction
to enhance stockholder value, which is a focus of the Company's plan to increase its stockholders' equity and regain compliance
with the NYSE American's continued listing standards. On January 25, 2024, Fresh Vine entered into the Merger Agreement. See Part
I, "Item 1 Business - Recent Developments – Anticipated Merger with Notes Live, Inc." included elsewhere in
this report.

 Although Fresh Vine has entered into the Merger Agreement and intends
to consummate the Merger, there is no assurance that it will be able to successfully consummate the Merger on a timely basis, or at all.
Among other conditions to the closing of the Merger, Fresh Vine is required to have cash, cash equivalent assets or other liquid assets
at the closing of the Merger in an amount that equals or exceeds the "Net Cash Target," and having no liabilities on its balance
sheet or unpaid or unsatisfied obligations that will require a cash expenditure by Fresh Vine after the effective time of the Merger.
See "Item 1 – Business - Recent Developments – Anticipated Merger with Notes Live, Inc." If, for any reason, the
Merger does not close, the Fresh Vine board of directors may elect to, among other things, attempt to complete another strategic transaction
like the Merger, attempt to sell or otherwise dispose of the various assets of Fresh Vine, continue to operate the business of Fresh Vine
or dissolve and liquidate its assets.

 If the Merger is not completed,
the Fresh Vine board of directors may decide that it is in the best interests of the Fresh Vine stockholders to suspend or cease its operations,
seek to dissolve the Company and liquidate its assets, or initiate bankruptcy proceedings. In that event, the amount of cash available
for distribution to the Fresh Vine stockholders would depend heavily on the timing of such decision and, ultimately, such liquidation,
since the amount of cash available for distribution continues to decrease as Fresh Vine funds its operations and incurs fees and expenses
related to the Merger. In addition, if the Fresh Vine board of directors were to approve and recommend, and the Fresh Vine stockholders
were to approve, a dissolution of Fresh Vine, it would be required under Nevada corporate law to pay its outstanding obligations, as well
as to make reasonable provision for contingent and unknown obligations, prior to making any distributions in liquidation to the Fresh
Vine stockholders. As a result of this requirement, a portion or all of Fresh Vine's assets may need to be reserved pending the
resolution of such obligations. In addition, Fresh Vine may be subject to litigation or other claims related to a liquidation and dissolution
of the company. If a liquidation and dissolution were pursued, the Fresh Vine board of directors, in consultation with its advisors, would
need to evaluate these matters and make a determination about a reasonable amount to reserve. Accordingly, the Fresh Vine stockholders
could lose all or a significant portion of their investment in the event of a liquidation and dissolution of Fresh Vine.

 Financing Transactions

 We have funded our operations
through a combination of debt and equity financings.

 Since the Company's
inception in May 2019 and prior to its December 2021 initial public offering, Damian Novak, co-founder, and affiliates of Mr. Novak incurred
expenses on our behalf or advanced funds to us from time to time as needed to satisfy our working capital requirements and expenses. The
reimbursable expenses and advances were reflected as related party payables on our balance sheet and were not evidenced promissory notes
or other written documentation. On December 17, 2021, we used a portion of the proceeds from our initial public offering to repay $2.0
million, representing the outstanding amount of these related party payables, net of related party receivables that Mr. Novak and his
affiliates owed to us at that time.

 In September 2021, the Company
entered into an agreement with an unrelated party to pledge certain eligible accounts receivable for a cash advance at a percentage of
the outstanding amount, with the remaining balance due upon collection from the customer. The agreement had an initial term of one year
which automatically renews for successive one year terms unless the Company provides a notice of termination at least 60 days prior to
the termination date. The receivables are pledged with full recourse, which means we bear the risk of non-payment. The amounts advanced
to the Company were classified as a secured loan on our balance sheet and any fees computed on the outstanding amounts are treated as
interest expense on our statement of operations. The Company terminated this arrangement effective October 1, 2022.

 During the first quarter
of 2023, the Company distributed, at no charge to holders of the Company's common stock, non-transferable subscription rights to
purchase up to an aggregate of 6,366,129 Units. Each Unit consisted of one share of our common stock and a Warrant to purchase one share
of our common stock. The Warrants were exercisable immediately, expire five years from the date of issuance and have an exercise price
of $1.25 per share. For each share of common stock held by a stockholder of the Company on February 22, 2023, the record date of the Rights
Offering, such stockholder received 0.5 subscription rights. Each whole subscription right allowed the holder thereof to subscribe to
purchase one Unit, which we refer to as the basic subscription right, at a subscription price of $1.00 per Unit. In addition, any holder
of subscription rights exercising his, her or its basic subscription right in full was eligible to subscribe to purchase additional Units
that remained unsubscribed in the Rights Offering at the same subscription price per Unit that applied to the basic subscription right,
subject to proration among participants exercising their over-subscription privilege, which we refer to as the over-subscription privilege.
The subscription rights period expired on March 9, 2023, and resulted in stockholders subscribing for 3,143,969 Units. Upon the closing
of the Rights Offering, which occurred on March 14, 2023, we issued 3,143,969 shares of common stock and 3,143,969 Warrants and received
aggregate gross cash proceeds of approximately $3.14 million. After deducting dealer-manager fees and other fees and expenses related
to the Rights Offering, we received net proceeds of approximately $2.7 million. If exercised, additional gross proceeds of up to approximately
$3.93 million may be received through the exercise of Warrants issued in the Rights Offering. The Rights Offering was made pursuant to
a registration statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-269082), which was declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
on February 14, 2023, and the prospectus dated February 22, 2023.

 On August 2, 2023, the Company
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with two accredited investors (the "Purchasers") pursuant to which the Company
agreed to issue and sell in a private placement (the "Series A Offering") shares of a newly created series of preferred stock
designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series A Stock"). The rights and preferences of the Series A Stock
were described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 2, 2023.
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers collectively agreed to purchase up to 10,000 shares of Series A Stock at
a per share purchase price equal to $100.00, for total gross proceeds of up to $1.0 million. The Purchasers purchased 4,000 shares of
Series A Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000 at an initial closing (the "Initial Closing") that occurred on
August 4, 2023, purchased an additional 4,000 shares of Series A Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000 at a second closing
(the "Second Closing") that occurred on September 7, 2023, and purchased an additional 2,000 shares of Series A Stock for
an aggregate purchase price of $200,000 at a third closing (the "Third Closing") that occurred on December 1, 2023. The Company
previously engaged The Oak Ridge Financial Services Group, Inc. ("Oak Ridge") to serve as a financial adviser to the Company
in connection with the capital raising activities. The Company paid Oak Ridge a $10,000 cash advisory fee upon commencement of the engagement
and, in connection with the Series A Offering, the Company has agreed to pay the Oak Ridge a cash fee equal to 5.0% of the gross proceeds
received by the Company in the Series A Offering, in addition to reimbursing Oak Ridge for its out-of-pocket expenses.

 Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 Management uses estimates
and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
of America. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 While all significant accounting
policies are more fully described in Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to our audited financial statements, we
believe that the following accounting policies and estimates are critical to our business operations and understanding of our financial
results.

 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 Accounts receivable consists
of amounts owed to us for sales of our products on credit and are reported at net realizable value. Credit terms are extended to customers
in the normal course of business. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers' financial conditions. We estimate allowances
for future returns and doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and its evaluation of the current status of receivables. Accounts
considered uncollectible are written off against the allowance. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 we had $0 in the allowance for doubtful
accounts.

 Allowance for Inventory Reserve

 Inventories primarily include
bottled wine which is carried at the lower of cost (calculated using the first-in-first-out ("FIFO") method) or net realizable
value. We reduce the carrying value of inventories that are obsolete or for which market conditions indicate cost will not be recovered
to estimated net realizable value. Our estimate of net realizable value is based on analysis and assumptions including, but not limited
to, historical experience, future demand and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories are recorded in cost
of revenues. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022 there was $111,710 and $0 inventory reserve related to estimated net realizable value,
respectively.

 Equity-Based Compensation

 We measure equity-based compensation
cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognize the compensation expense over the requisite service period,
which is generally the vesting period. We recognize any forfeitures as they occur.

 We measure equity-based compensation
when the service date precedes the grant date based on the fair value of the award as an accrual of equity-based compensation and adjusts
the cost to fair value at each reporting date prior to the grant date. In the period in which the grant occurs, the cumulative compensation
cost is adjusted to the fair value at the date of the grant.

 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 We have not engaged in any
off-balance sheet activities as defined in Item 303(a)(4) of Regulation S-K.

 Accounting Standards and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 See Note 1 (Summary
of Significant Accounting Policies) to our audited financial statement for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

 Emerging Growth Company Status

 Pursuant to the JOBS Act,
a company constituting an "emerging growth company" is, among other things, entitled to rely upon certain reduced reporting
requirements and is eligible to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable
to public companies. We are an emerging growth company and have elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new
or revised accounting standards that have different effective dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date we
(i) are no longer an emerging growth company or (ii) affirmatively and irrevocably opt out of the extended transition period provided
in the JOBS Act. Our financial statements may, therefore, not be comparable to those of other public companies that comply with such new
or revised accounting standards.

 ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

 Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 Rule 13a-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), defines the term "disclosure controls and procedures" as those
controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits
under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and
forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial
officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 Management, with the participation
of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures,
as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as of December 31, 2023. Based on that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e)
and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were not effective as of December 31, 2023 due to the material weakness in internal control over
financial reporting as described below.

 Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 We are responsible for establishing
and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in the securities laws, internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officer and effected
by our Board of Directors, management, and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting
and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes
those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the
acquisitions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation
of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being
made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or
timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.

 Under the supervision and
with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we carried out an evaluation
of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934) as of December 31, 2023 based on the criteria in "Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)" issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission ("COSO") in 2013. Based upon this evaluation, we concluded
that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2023 due to the following material weaknesses.

 Material Weaknesses in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting;
Remediation Activities

 Management had previously determined that there were material weaknesses
in our internal control over financial reporting resulting from (i) a lack of segregation of incompatible duties based on the limited
number of employees responsible for the Company's accounting and reporting functions and (ii) the lack of properly designed controls
to prepare complete and accurate financial statements and footnotes in accordance with US GAAP in a timely manner. In an effort to remediate
the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described above, we intend to take the actions to implement the
processes described below.

 Lack
of segregation of duties. To ensure timely and accurate financial reporting, management is designing processes to keep authorization,
recordkeeping, custody of assets, and reconciliation duties separate, and intends to reevaluate its overall staffing levels within the
accounting, finance and information technology departments and may hire additional staff to enable segregation of duties.

 Inability
to prepare complete and accurate financial statements and footnotes. To ensure timely and accurate financial reporting, management
intends to hire experienced staff to remedy this material weakness.

 Once the above actions and
processes have been in operation for a sufficient period of time for our management to conclude that the material weaknesses have been
fully remediated and our internal controls over financial reporting are effective, we will consider these material weaknesses fully addressed.

 This annual report does not
include an attestation report of Wipfli, LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, regarding internal control over financial
reporting. Our management report was not subject to attestation by our independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, which exempts nonaccelerated filers from the independent registered public accounting
firm attestation requirement.

 Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 There were no changes in
our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial
reporting.

 Family Relationships

 Messrs. Brad and David Yacullo,
two of our directors, are brothers. There are no other family relationships between any of the other directors or executive officers.

 Board Composition and Director Independence

 Our business and affairs
are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our bylaws provide that our board of directors shall consist of one or more
members and that the number of directors may be fixed from time to time by a majority vote of the directors then in office. Our board
of directors is currently comprised of the four individuals identified above.

 When considering whether
directors have the experience, qualifications, attributes and skills to enable the Board of Directors to satisfy its oversight responsibilities
effectively in light of our business and structure, our Board of Directors focuses primarily on the information discussed in each of the
directors' individual biographies set forth above.

 Our Board of Directors periodically
reviews relationships that directors have with our Company to determine whether our directors are "independent directors"
as such term is defined in Section 803 of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide. Our Board of Directors has determined that each of Eric
Doan, Brad Yacullo and David Yacullo is an independent director. In making this determination, the Board of Directors considered the relationships
that such individuals have with our Company and other facts and circumstances that the Board of Directors deemed relevant in determining
their independence, including ownership interests in us. Under Section 803A of the NYSE American Company Guide, employment by a director
as an executive officer on an interim basis does not disqualify that director from being considered independent following such employment,
provided the interim employment does not last longer than one year; however a director is not considered independent while serving as
an interim officer. As a result, the Board of Directors has determined that Michael Pruitt is not independent while serving as interim
Chief Executive Officer.

 Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

 Damian Novak, one of our
founders, served as Executive Chair of our Board of Directors from our December 2021 initial public offering until February 20,
2023. Effective February 20, 2023, our Board of Directors appointed Michael Pruitt to serve as Non-Executive Chair of the Board
of Directors. At the time, we believed that having a chair separate from the Chief Executive Officer created an environment that is more
conducive to objective evaluation and oversight of management's performance, increasing management accountability and improving
the ability of the Board to monitor whether management's actions are in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.
On July 19, 2023, the Board of Directors appointed Michael Pruitt to serve as our interim Chief Executive Officer following the termination
of employment of our prior Chief Executive Officer. Given the current streamlined composition of the Company's executive management
and the Board of Directors, we believe that having Mr. Pruitt serve in such capacities provides for efficiency in pursuing the Company's
objectives, while being subject to oversight by the full Board of Directors, which monitors whether management's actions are in
the best interests of the Company and our stockholders.

 Board Committees

 Our Board of Directors
has a standing audit committee, compensation committee nominating and corporate governance committee. Each committee operates under its
own written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which are available on our website at ir.freshvinewine.com/info/.

 Audit Committee

 The audit committee
is responsible for overseeing financial reporting and related internal controls, risk, and ethics and compliance, including but not limited
to review of filings and earnings releases, selection and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm, oversight of
internal audit, interactions with management and the board, and communications with external stakeholders. During 2023, our audit committee
was composed of Eric Doan and Michael D. Pruitt, with Mr. Doan serving as Chair of the committee. Upon his appointment as interim
Chief Executive Officer in July 2023, Mr. Pruitt ceased serving on the audit committee and was replaced by David Yacullo. Our
Board of Directors has determined that each of Messrs. Doan and David Yacullo meet the definition of "independent director"
under the rules of the NYSE American and under Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and that each is an "audit committee
financial expert" as that term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act.

 Compensation Committee

 The compensation committee
is responsible for establishing the compensation philosophy and ensuring that elements of our compensation program encourage high levels
of performance among the executive officers and positions the Company for growth. The compensation committee ensures our compensation
program is fair, competitive, and closely aligns the interests of our executive officers with the Company's short and long-term
business objectives. The compensation committee is responsible for determining the compensation of our officers and directors, or recommending
that such compensation be approved by the full board of directors. Our Chief Executive Officer may not be present during voting or deliberations
regarding the Chief Executive Officer's compensation. The compensation committee also administers the Company's equity incentive
plans and approves all equity grants made thereunder. Our compensation committee is composed of one director, Eric Doan, who is an "independent
director" under the rules of the NYSE American.

 Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider
Participation

 During the year ended December
31, 2023, Mr. Doan served as the sole member of the compensation committee. Mr. Doan has never been an executive officer or employee of
ours or had a relationship requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. None of our officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed year, on the compensation committee or the
board of directors of any other entity that has one or more officers serving as a member of our board of directors or our compensation
committee.

 Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

 The nominating and corporate
governance committee is responsible for selecting directors to be nominated for election to our Board of Directors or recommending such
nominees for selection by the full board. The nominating and corporate governance committee is also responsible for board effectiveness
and governance, with duties that include board succession planning, director recruiting, shaping the Company's governance policies
and practices, and director education and self-evaluations. Our nominating and corporate governance committee is composed of one director,
Eric Doan.

 Board Oversight of Risk Management

 While the full board of directors
has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, its committees oversee risk in certain specified areas. In
particular, our audit committee oversees management of enterprise risks as well as financial risks. Our compensation committee is responsible
for overseeing the management of risks relating to our executive compensation plans and arrangements and the incentives created by the
compensation awards it administers. Our nominating and corporate governance committee oversees risks associated with corporate governance,
business conduct and ethics, and is responsible for overseeing the review and approval of related party transactions. Pursuant to the
board of directors' instruction, management reports on applicable risks to the relevant committee or the full board of directors,
as appropriate, with additional review or reporting on risks conducted as needed or as requested by the board of directors and its committees.

 Code of Ethics

 We have adopted a code of
conduct that applies to all of our officers, employees and directors, and a separate code of ethics that applies to our Chief Executive
Officer and senior financial officers. Our code of conduct and code of ethics are available on our Internet website at ir.freshvinewine.com/info/.

 Diversity

 The
Nominating Committee and Governance of the Board of Directors considers and makes recommendations to the Board on all matters pertaining
to the effectiveness of the Board, such as the size and composition of the Board, including the recognition of diversity characteristics
and equal opportunity (which is the policy of treating directors and others without discrimination, especially on the basis of their sex,
ethnicity, religion, disability, national origin, sexual orientation or identification, veteran status, race or age).

 Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

 Section 16(a) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class
of our equity securities, to file electronically reports of ownership and changes in ownership of such securities with the SEC. Based
on review of the copies of Forms 3 and 4 (and amendments thereto, if any) filed electronically with the SEC during the year ended December
31, 2023 and Forms 5 (and amendments thereto, if any) filed electronically with the SEC with respect to such year, or written representations
that no Forms 5 were required, we believe that the following is the list of our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial
owners who have failed to file on a timely basis all Section 16(a) filing requirements during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023:
Eric Doan filed a Form 4 on April 5, 2023 which was due on April 4, 2023; CSS LLC/IL filed a Form 4 on April 21, 2023 which was due on
April 20, 2023; Dheri Hitesh filed a Form 4 on May 31, 2023 which was due on May 29, 2023; CSS LLC/IL filed a Form 4 on September 1, 2023
which was due on August 31, 2023.

of the compensation of (i) each individual who served as Fresh Vine's principal executive officer during 2023, (ii) Fresh
Vine's two most highly compensated other executive officers who were serving as executive officers at the end of 2023 and who received
total compensation of more than $100,000 during such year, and (iii) up to two additional individuals that would have qualified under

 Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation
Table

 Michael Pruitt has served as a director of Fresh Vine since it December
2021 initial public offering. On July 19, 2023, Mr. Pruitt was appointed to serve as Fresh Vine's Interim Chief Financial Officer,
a position he holds without any written agreement and without compensation.

 Rick Nechio has served as
President of Fresh Vine since August 2021 and served as interim Chief Executive Officer from June 13, 2022 until April 25, 2023. Mr. Nechio
currently serves as President and Head of Sales. Mr. Nechio was employed by us during 2023 and 2022 pursuant to an unwritten employment
arrangement pursuant to which he received a base salary, which is subject to adjustment, from time to time, at the discretion of Fresh
Vine's board of directors. Upon our initial public offering in December of 2021, Mr. Nechio began receiving an annual base salary
of $300,000. Effective October 15, 2022, Mr. Nechio's annual base salary was reduced to $150,000. Mr. Nechio did not receive
bonus payments for 2023 or 2022.

 Effective April 25, 2023,
Roger Cockroft was appointed to serve as Chief Executive Officer of Fresh Vine, a position he held until the termination of his employment
on July 14, 2023. Mr. Cockroft's employment was governed by an employment agreement, the terms of which are described below.

 Employment Agreements

 Roger Cockroft Employment
Agreement

 In
connection with the Chief Executive Officer appointment, Fresh Vine entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Cockroft dated April
25, 2023. Under the employment agreement, which was for an indefinite term, Mr. Cockroft was entitled to receive annual base salary of
$450,000 and was eligible to receive an annual cash bonus commencing in 2024 (the "Bonus"), the target amount of which will
be equal to 50% of his base salary. The amount of the actual Bonus payable for each year was to be determined by the Fresh Vine board
of directors (or a compensation committee thereof) based on the satisfaction of performance objectives to be determined by the Fresh Vine
board of directors (or a compensation committee thereof). Achievement of performance objectives for each year was to be determined by
the Fresh Vine board of directors (or compensation committee thereof) upon the filing of Fresh Vine's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the applicable performance year (the "Vesting Date"); and the Bonus, if earned, was to be paid in a lump sum promptly
following such determination, provided that Mr. Cockcroft remained employed by Fresh Vine on such date. The Bonus was payable in a combination
of cash and shares of common stock issued out of Fresh Vine's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan")
valued at the closing price of Fresh Vine's common stock on the Vesting Date. Unless agreed otherwise, the cash portion of the Bonus
was to be the minimum amount of income withholding taxes resulting from payment of the entire Bonus. To the extent that there were not
sufficient available shares reserved for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plan (or successor plans) to support Bonus payments otherwise
payable in stock, Fresh Vine was to pay such Bonus payments in cash. Mr. Cockroft was also eligible to receive additional discretionary
bonuses based upon his performance on behalf of Fresh Vine and/or Fresh Vine's performance in such amounts, in such manner and at
such times as may be determined by the Fresh Vine board of directors or a committee thereof, and was eligible to participate in the standard
benefits which Fresh Vine generally provides to its full-time employees under its applicable plans and policies.

 During
the first 12 months of his employment term, 50% of Mr. Cockroft's salary, or $225,000, was to be paid in cash installments in accordance
with regular payroll practices. In lieu of cash salary in the amount of the remaining $225,000, Fresh Vine granted Mr. Cockroft an inducement
award of 463,917 shares of restricted stock (the "Restricted Stock") upon the commencement of his employment. The Restricted
Stock award was subject to transfer and forfeiture restrictions that were scheduled to lapse in four installments as nearly equal in amount
as possible on the three, six, nine and twelve month anniversaries of the grant date, subject to continued employment.

 Also
upon commencement of his employment, Mr. Cockroft was granted (i) a 1,000,000 share stock option award (the "Stock Option"),
and (ii) a restricted stock unit award ("RSUs"). The Stock Option had an exercise price equal to $1.00 per share and, subject
to continued employment, was scheduled to vest with respect to 250,000 shares on the one-year anniversary of the grant date and, thereafter,
was scheduled to vest in 36 monthly installments as nearly equal in amount as possible (approximately 20,883 shares) commencing on the
13th month anniversary of the grant date and continuing on each one month anniversary thereafter. The RSUs had a target payout amount
equal to $154,726, which represents 50% of Mr. Cockroft's salary (i.e., $225,000), but prorated for the partial 2023 year during
which he was employed. The amount of the RSU award actually payable was to be determined by the Fresh Vine board of directors (or a compensation
committee thereof) in its discretion based on Mr. Cockroft's satisfaction of 2023 performance objectives that were to be determined
by the Fresh Vine board of directors (or a compensation committee thereof). The RSUs were to be settled in shares of Fresh Vine common
stock valued at the most recent closing price of such common stock on the payment date.

 The
grants of the Restricted Stock award, the Stock Option and the RSUs were made separately from Fresh Vine's 2021 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "Equity Incentive Plan") as inducements material to Mr. Cockroft entering into employment with Fresh Vine in accordance
with Section 711(a) of the NYSE American LLC Company Guide, and each was approved by Fresh Vine's independent compensation committee.
Although granted separately from the Equity Incentive Plan, the Restricted Stock grant, the Stock Option and the Restricted Stock Units
were subject to the terms contained in the Equity Incentive Plan, except as otherwise provided for in the agreements governing such awards
(the "Restricted Stock Agreement," Stock Option Agreement," and "RSU Agreement," respectively).

 Under
his employment agreement, if Mr. Cockroft's employment were terminated by Fresh Vine for any reason other than Cause (as defined
in the employment agreement), or Mr. Cockroft resigned as an employee for Good Reason (as defined in the employment agreement), so long
as he signed and did not revoke a release agreement, he was entitled to receive severance in the form of continued base salary over a
period of six months. In addition, upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the employment agreement), the vesting of
all outstanding unvested equity-based incentive awards would accelerate. The employment agreement included a provision allowing Fresh
Vine to reduce the payment to which Mr. Cockroft would be entitled upon a Change-in-Control transaction to the extent needed for him to
avoid paying an excise tax under Internal Revenue Code Section 280G, unless he would be better off, on an after-tax basis, receiving the
full amount of such payments and paying the excise taxes due.

 Mr.
Cockroft's employment agreement contained customary confidentiality and intellectual property covenants and a non-solicitation restriction
that provided, among other things, that Mr. Cockroft will not solicit our employees, consultants, customers, suppliers or other business
relations for a period of one year after termination of employment.

 Mr. Cockroft's employment
with Fresh Vine terminated on July 14, 2023.

 Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive
Plan

 DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

 Prior to our December 2021
initial public offering, Fresh Vine's directors did not receive compensation for serving as members of the board of directors. Effective
March 2, 2022, Fresh Vine granted 10,000 restricted stock units ("RSUs") under its 2021 Equity Incentive Plan to each
of Fresh Vine's seven directors serving at such time as compensation for their services as directors of Fresh Vine during 2022.
Each RSU represented the right to receive one share of Fresh Vine common stock upon vesting, with vesting occurring on June 18, 2022.
The Fresh Vine board of directors (or a compensation committee thereof) periodically reevaluates the form and amount of director compensation
and make adjustments that it deems to be appropriate. Fresh Vine also reimburses its directors for reasonable expenses incurred in the
performance of the directors' services upon submission of invoices and receipts for such expenses.

 Fresh Vine adopted a new director
compensation program commencing in 2023. Under this program, Fresh Vine pays quarterly cash compensation of $5,000 to each non-employee member
of the Fresh Vine board of directors, which is paid in quarterly installments in arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter
(or, if not a business day, then the next business day), prorated for partial quarterly periods as appropriate (the "Director
Fees"). In addition, on April 1, 2023 (or as soon as was administratively possible thereafter), each non-employee member
of Fresh Vine's board of directors received a grant of 20,000 shares of restricted stock. The restricted stock vested with
respect to 5,000 shares on the grant date, and will vests with respect to 5,000 shares on each of July 1, 2023, October 1,
2023 and January 1, 2024, subject to the directors' continuing to serve as a director through the applicable vesting date.

 ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL
OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

 Equity Compensation Plan Information

 We maintain Fresh Vine Wine,
Inc.'s 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2021 Plan"), which, as of December 31, 2023 is approved to grant up to an aggregate
of 1,800,000 shares of our common stock. The purpose of the 2021 Plan is to increase stockholder value and to advance the interests of
the Company by furnishing a variety of economic incentives designed to attract, retain and motivate employees, certain key consultants
and directors of the Company. Incentives may consist of opportunities to purchase or receive shares of our common stock or other incentive
awards. At December 31, 2023, 69,892 shares were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding options, and 1,730,108 shares remained
available for issuance pursuant to future grants. The 2021 Plan was approved by Fresh Vine Wine, Inc.'s stockholders.

 Effective November 30, 2021,
we entered into stock option agreements (the "Founders' Option Agreements") with four of our co-founders, Damian Novak,
Rick Nechio, Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough. In connection with these agreements, we established a founders' option pool comprised
of 1,500,004 shares of our common stock (the "Founders' Option Pool"). Under the agreements, each co-founder was granted
a ten-year option to purchase 25% of the shares comprising the Founders' Option Pool. The options will be exercisable, subject to
the satisfaction of vesting conditions, at a price per share equal to $10.00, which was the initial public offering price of our common
stock in our initial public offering. Effective February 20, 2023, Damian Novak resigned as Executive Chairman of the Company and removed
himself from his management duties with the Company. Upon his resignation as a director of the Company, the 375,001 share option granted
to Mr. Novak pursuant to his Founder Option Agreement, none of which was vested, terminated. Upon the termination of their respective
license agreements with the Company, the 375,001 share option granted to each of Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough pursuant to her Founder
Option Agreement, none of which was vested, terminated.

 License Agreements with Nina Dobrev and Julianne
Hough

 In March 2021, we entered
into five-year license agreements with each of Nina Dobrev and Jaybird Investments, LLC, an entity managed by Julianne Hough, which
were amended in November 2021 in connection with our initial public offering (as so amended, the "License Agreements"),
pursuant to which Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough, respectively, each agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to help grow and promote
our business and varietals of wine and granted us a license to use her pre-approved name, likeness, image, and other indicia of identity,
as well as certain content published by her on her social media or other channels, on and in conjunction with the sale and related pre-approved advertising
and promotion of our varietals of wine and marketing materials. Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough agreed not to grant any similar license or render
services of any sort on behalf of or in connection with any party in the wine category anywhere in the world during the term of her agreement,
other than with respect to Company; however, the agreements did not prevent Ms. Dobrev or Ms. Hough from (i) appearing in the news, entertainment
or information portion of any program or event, regardless of those programs or event's sponsorship or tie-ins; or (ii) becoming
a passive investor in any other company provided that if the company is in the category of wine, such investment must be financial only
and Ms. Dobrev or Ms. Hough, as applicable, may not provide services or grant any rights in or to her name, likeness, image, and other
indicia of identity in connection with such investment.

 Upon entering into the License
Agreements, we issued to each of Ms. Dobrev and Hough (or their designees) 156,500 units representing
membership interests in Fresh Grapes, LLC, which represented 969,272 shares each on a post-LLC Conversion basis. In addition,
each of Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough were entitled to an annual license fee equal to $300,000 per year commencing upon the completion of our
initial public offering, and to reimburse of reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the promotion of the Company's
varietals of wine.

 The License Agreements, as
amended, provided that each of Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough have the right to terminate her agreement if, as of the end of calendar year 2023,
we have not achieved at least $5.0 million in EBITDA in either fiscal 2022 or fiscal 2023. In connection with entering into the November
2021 amendments, Nechio & Novak, LLC then a Company stockholder) assigned and transferred to each of Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough (or
their designees) 20,702 additional units representing membership interests in Fresh Grapes, LLC, which represented 128,217 shares each
on a post-LLC Conversion basis. Pursuant to the amendments, we agreed to indemnify and reimburse the licensees for any United States federal
and state income taxes that may become be due and payable by them solely as a result of the assignment and transfer of the additional
units, and to gross-up such payments for income taxes resulting from the indemnification payments.

 The License Agreements, as
amended, provided that each of Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough have the right to terminate her agreement if, as of the end of calendar year 2023,
we have not achieved at least $5.0 million in EBITDA in either fiscal 2022 or fiscal 2023. In addition, Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough had the
right to terminate their respective License Agreements prior to the scheduled expiration date upon a material breach by Fresh Vine that
is not cured within 30 days after receiving notice of such breach. On August 8, 2023, Fresh Vine received written letters from
each of Ms. Dobrev and Jaybird Investments, LLC, notifying Fresh Vine that they were terminating the License Agreements prior to the scheduled
expiration dates, effective September 7, 2023 (the "Termination Date"). Pursuant to the License Agreements, upon termination
of thereof, the rights and licenses granted under thereunder were revoked, and Fresh Vine was required to cease the marketing and sale
of products that feature the licensor's name, likeness, image, and other indicia of identity, provided that Fresh Vine could continue
to use approved marketing materials and sell off the remaining product inventory for a sell-off period of up to 90 days.

 Founders' Option Agreements

 Effective November 30,
2021, we entered into stock option agreements with four of our co-founders, Damian Novak, Rick Nechio, Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough.
In connection with these agreements, we have established a founders' option pool comprised of 1,500,004 shares of our common
stock, which will represent 15% of our outstanding common stock immediately prior to our initial public offering (the "Founders'
Option Pool"). Under the agreements, each co-founder was granted a ten-year option to purchase 25% of the shares comprising
the Founders' Option Pool.

 The options are exercisable,
subject to the satisfaction of vesting conditions, at a price per share equal to $10.00 (our initial public offering price). The options
will vest, if at all, during the three year period that commenced on December 17, 2021 (the closing date of our initial public offering)
and ending on the third anniversary thereof (the "Performance Period"), with 20% of the option shares vesting upon the average
of the closing sale prices of our common stock over a period of ten consecutive trading days being equal to or greater than
the applicable price set forth in the following schedule (each a "Trigger Price"):

 All portions of the options
that have not vested prior to the expiration of the Performance Period and all of co-founders' rights to and under such non-vested portions
of the options will terminate upon such expiration. In addition, if, prior to any vesting date, a co-founder ceases to provide services
to the Company either as a member of our Board of Directors a Company employee (with respect to Messrs. Novak and Nechio) or a Company
ambassador and licensor under such co-founder's license agreement with the Company (with respect to Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough),
that portion of such co-founder's option scheduled to vest on such vesting date, and all portions of such option scheduled to vest
in the future, will not vest and all of such co-founder's rights to and under such non-vested portions will terminate. Upon
his resignation as a director of the Company, the 375,001 share option granted to Mr. Novak pursuant to his Founder Option Agreement,
none of which was vested, terminated. Upon the termination of their respective license agreements with the Company, the 375,001 share
option granted to each of Ms. Dobrev and Ms. Hough pursuant to her Founder Option Agreement, none of which was vested, terminated.

 Director and Officer Indemnification Agreements

 We have entered into indemnification
agreements (the "Indemnification Agreements") with each of our current and former officers and directors. The Indemnification
Agreements clarify and supplement indemnification provisions already contained in the Company's bylaws (the "Bylaws")
and generally provide that the Company shall indemnify the indemnitees to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, subject to certain
exceptions, against expenses, judgments, fines and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred in connection with their service as
a director or officer and also provide for rights to advancement of expenses and contribution.

 Founder Anderson Consulting-related Forfeitures

 In conjunction with entering
into a Settlement Agreement with Janelle Anderson in February 2023, Rick Nechio and Damian Novak, two of the Company's founders,
entered into Agreements to Forfeit Shares of Common Stock (the "Forfeiture Agreements") pursuant to which each agreed to forfeit
and transfer back to the Company without consideration 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company held by them (a total of 500,000
shares), to enable the Company to issue such number of shares of the Company's common stock to Ms. Anderson without subjecting the
Company's other stockholders to dilution therefrom.

 Consulting Agreement with Whetstone Consulting

 Effective February 20, 2023,
the Company's board of directors elected Michelle Hawkins Whetstone as a director of the Company. Ms. Whetstone is the spouse of
Jamey Whetstone, the Company's winemaker. On June 12, 2019, we entered into a consulting agreement with Whetstone Consulting, through
which our winemaker, Jamey Whetstone, does business, which agreement was subsequently amended on May 15, 2020, as amended and restated
on March 16, 2021 and further amended and restated on April 13, 2022 (the "Whetstone Consulting Agreement"). The Whetstone
Consulting Agreement was terminated in May 2023 upon the commencement of Mr. Whetstone's employment with the Company.
Ms. Whetstone resigned as a director of the Company on July 17, 2023.

 Fresh Vine Wine, Inc.

 Opinion on the Financial Statements

 We have audited the accompanying balance sheets
of Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of operations, changes
in stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the
"financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 Going Concern

 The accompanying financial
statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements,
the Company has a history of operating losses and insufficient cash flows from operations, that raises substantial doubt about its ability
to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 Basis for Opinion

 These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial
statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United
States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and
the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 We conducted our audits
in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to
have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required
to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

 Our audits included performing
procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures
that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for
our opinion.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 Nature of Business

 Fresh Vine Wine, Inc. ("the Company", "our", "we"), a Nevada
corporation, is a premium wine brand built to complement consumers' healthy and active lifestyles. The Company provides a competitively
priced premium product that is blended to deliver several important benefits, such as low-cal, low-sugar, low-carb. The Company's
wines are also gluten-free and keto and vegan friendly.

 The Company's revenue is comprised primarily
of wholesale and direct to consumer (DTC) sales, and representation and distribution services. Wholesale revenue is generated through
sales to distributors located in states throughout the United States of America. DTC revenue is generated from individuals purchasing
wine directly from the Company through club membership and the Company's website. Representation and distribution service revenue
is generated by providing access to new markets and distribution channels.

 Basis of Presentation

 The Company's financial statements have
been prepared and are presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
The financial statements include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal and recurring items, necessary
for the fair presentation of the financial statements. In certain instances, amounts reported in prior period financial statements have
been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.

 Liquidity, Going Concern, and Management
Plan

 Historically, the Company has incurred losses, which has resulted in
an accumulated deficit of approximately $ 26.5 million as of December 31, 2023. Cash flows used in operating activities were $ 4.8 million
and $ 13.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately
a $ 1.3 million deficiency in working capital, inclusive of $ 236,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $ 100,000 in restricted
cash. The Company has increased its liquidity by selling inventory at prices below cost, by significantly reducing staffing levels and
by the termination of celebrity endorsement contracts.

 The Company's ability to continue as a
going concern is dependent on its ability to meet its liquidity needs through a combination of factors including but not limited to,
cash and cash equivalents, working capital and strategic capital raises. The ultimate success of these plans is not guaranteed.

 In considering our forecast for the next twelve
months and the current cash and working capital as of the filing of this Form 10-K, such matters create a substantial doubt regarding
the Company's ability to meet their financial needs and continue as a going concern.

 The Company received gross proceeds of $ 1 million from
a preferred stock offering during the year ended December 31, 2023. Subsequent to year end, the Company entered into an Agreement and
Plan of Merger (Agreement) with Notes Live, Inc. See Note 15 for further details on the Agreement. The Company will need to seek additional
debt or equity financing to sustain existing operations. If adequate financing is not available, the Company will be forced to take measures
to severely reduce our expenses and business operations or discontinue them completely. Such financing, if available, may be dilutive.
At the current reduced pace of incurring expenses and without receipt of additional financing and the receipt of proceeds from the expected
sales of inventory under purchase orders from a discount retailer entered into in the third quarter of 2023, the Company projects that
the existing cash balance will be sufficient to fund current operations into the first quarter of 2024, after which additional financing
or capital will be needed to satisfy obligations. Additional financing may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If additional
financing is available, it may be highly dilutive to existing shareholders and may otherwise include burdensome or onerous terms. The
Company's inability to raise additional working capital in a timely manner would negatively impact the ability to fund operations,
generate revenues, maintain or grow the business and otherwise execute the Company's business plan, leading to the reduction or
suspension of operations and ultimately potentially ceasing operations altogether and initiating bankruptcy proceedings. Should this occur,
the value of any investment in the Company's securities would be adversely affected.

 These factors raise substantial doubt about the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability
and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company
be unable to continue as a going concern.

 Accounting Estimates

 Management uses estimates and assumptions in
preparing these financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ
from those estimates. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include allowance for doubtful accounts, allowance
for inventory obsolescence, equity-based compensation for employees and non-employees, and the valuation of deferred tax assets.

 Cash

 The Company maintains its accounts at two financial
institutions. At times throughout the year, the Company's cash balances may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

 Restricted Cash

 Included in the cash balance is a deposit of
$ 100,000 that the Company operating bank has required us to maintain as a security for collectability of automated clearing house transactions.
These funds are held in a separate account and are not available for disbursements.

 Accounts Receivable

 Accounts receivable consists of amounts owed
to the Company for sales of the Company's products on credit and are reported at net realizable value. Credit terms are extended
to customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions.
The Company estimates allowances for future returns and doubtful accounts based upon historical experience and its evaluation of the
current status of receivables. Accounts considered uncollectible are written off against the allowance. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022
there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

 Inventories

 Inventories primarily include bottled wine which
is carried at the lower of cost (calculated using the average cost method) or net realizable value.

 The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories
that are obsolete or for which market conditions indicate cost will not be recovered to estimated net realizable value. The Company's
estimate of net realizable value is based on analysis and assumptions including, but not limited to, historical experience, future demand,
and market requirements. Reductions to the carrying value of inventories are recorded in cost of revenues. As of December 31, 2023
and 2022, the Company had recorded an inventory allowance of approximately $ 112,000 and $ 0, respectively.

 Deferred Offering Costs

 Deferred offering costs primarily consist of
legal, accounting, SEC filing fees, and any other fees relating to the Company's subscription rights offering and preferred equity
offering. The deferred offering costs as of December 31, 2022 were capitalized as incurred and were offset against proceeds from the
sale of rights at the closing of the Company's capital raise completed on March 14, 2023.

 Investment in Equity Securities

 The Company has elected the measurement alternative
for non-marketable equity securities under ASC 321 Investments – Equity Securities. In accordance with ASC 321, the non-marketable
equity securities are initially measured at cost and reviewed at year end for impairment and fair value changes. As of December 31, 2023,
there were no changes recorded for the value of the investment since the initial measurement.

 Revenue recognition

 The Company's
total revenue reflects the sale of wine domestically in the U.S. to wholesale distributors or DTC and related party service revenues.
Under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"), the Company recognizes revenue when
control of the promised good is transferred to the customer in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the Company is expected
to be entitled to receive in exchange for those products. Each contract includes a single performance obligation to transfer control
of the product to the customer. Control is transferred when the product is either shipped or delivered, depending on the shipping terms,
at which point the Company recognizes the transaction price for the product as revenue. The Company has elected to account for shipping
and handling as a fulfillment activity, with amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling included in total revenue.

 The Company also generates
revenue through membership in its wine club. Wine club members pay a monthly fee, which varies depending on level of membership, and
are entitled to receive quarterly shipments of wine, free shipping, and discounts on other wine and merchandise purchased. The Company
recognizes revenue for the monthly membership dues when the product is delivered. Any membership dues received before the product is
delivered is recorded as deferred revenue on the Company's balance sheet.

 The Company has determined
that related party service revenue should be recognized over the period of time it provides such services. ASC 606 also notes that when
another party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the entity should determine whether the nature of its promise
is a performance obligation to provide the specified goods or services itself (that is, the entity is a principal) or to arrange
for those goods or services to be provided by the other party (that is, the entity is an agent). The Company does not bear responsibility
for inventory losses and does not have pricing determination; therefore, the Company would be considered the agent and revenue should
be recognized as net sales.

 Products are sold for cash or on credit terms.
Credit terms are established in accordance with local and industry practices, and typically require payment within 30-60 days of delivery
or shipment, as dictated by the terms of each agreement. The Company has elected the practical expedient to not account for significant
financing components as its payment terms are less than one year, and the Company determines the terms at contract inception. The Company's
sales terms do not allow for the right of return.

 The following table
presents the percentages of total revenue disaggregated by sales channels for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:

 Contract Balances and Receivables

 When the Company receives pre-orders or payment
from a customer prior to transferring the product under the terms of a contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents
a contract liability. The Company will record deferred revenue when cash is collected from customers prior to the wine shipment date.
The Company does not recognize revenue until control of the wine is transferred and the performance obligation is met. When the Company
does not receive payment from a customer prior to or at the transfer of the product under the terms of a contract, the Company records
an accounts receivable.

 Contract liabilities as of December 31, 2023
and 2022, and January 1, 2022 were $ 3,407, $ 10,000 and $ 13,750, respectively. Revenue recognized in 2023 and 2022 from contract liabilities
as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $ 10,000 and $ 13,750, respectively.

 Receivables with customers as of December 31,
2023 and 2022, and January 1, 2022, were $ 172,101, $ 259,317 and $ 208,160, respectively.

 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 The Company's accounting for fair value
measurements of assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring or nonrecurring
basis adheres to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques
used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).
The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

 Level
 1 Inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 accessible to the Company at the measurement date.

 Level
 2 Inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the
 asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the
 asset or liability.

 Level
 3 Inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the
 extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which
 there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

 The level in the fair value hierarchy within
which a fair measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in
its entirety.

 The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable,
accounts payable, deferred revenue and other financial working capital items approximate fair value at December 31, 2023 and 2022, due
to the short maturity nature of these items.

 Income Taxes

 The Company recognizes uncertain tax positions
in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained upon
examination by tax authorities. For those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes
the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company recognizes
interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. There were no uncertain tax positions as of December
31, 2023 or 2022, and as such, no interest or penalties were recorded to income tax expense. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company
has no unrecognized tax benefits. There are no unrecognized tax benefits included on the balance sheet that would, if recognized, impact
the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate there will be a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next
12 months.

 F- 10

 1.

 Equity-Based Compensation

 The Company measures equity-based compensation
cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and recognizes the compensation expense over the requisite service period,
which is generally the vesting period. The Company recognizes any forfeitures as they occur. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there
was $ 0 and $ 991,167 of unrecognized equity-based compensation expense recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets. The license agreements
were terminated during the third quarter of 2023 and the remaining balance was recognized as expense during this period.

 The Company measures equity-based compensation
when the service inception date precedes the grant date based on the fair value of the award as an accrual of equity-based compensation
and adjusts the cost to fair value at each reporting date prior to the grant date. In the period in which the grant occurs, the cumulative
compensation cost is adjusted to the fair value at the date of the grant.

 See Note 9 for further discussion of equity-based
compensation incurred in 2023 and 2022.

 Advertising

 The Company expenses the costs of advertising
as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, was $ 1,576,325 and $ 3,059,429, respectively.

 Application of New or Revised Accounting
Standards

 Pursuant to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups
Act of 2012 (the "JOBS Act"), a company constituting an "emerging growth company" is, among other things, entitled
to rely upon certain reduced reporting requirements and is eligible to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with
new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies.

 The Company is an emerging growth company and
has elected to use this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards that have different effective
dates for public and private companies until the earlier of the date that the Company (i) is no longer an emerging growth company or
(ii) affirmatively and irrevocable opts out of the extended transition period provide in the JOBS Act.

 NYSE Listing Requirements

 On September 8, 2023, the Company received a
written notice (the "Notice") from NYSE American stating that it was not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(ii) of the NYSE
American Company Guide (the "Company Guide"), which requires a listed company that has reported losses from continuing operations
and/or net losses in three of its four most recent fiscal years to maintain at least $ 4 million of stockholders' equity. The
Company reported stockholders' deficit of approximately $ 712,000 as of December 31, 2023 and have had losses from continuing operations
and/or net losses in each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. As required by the NYSE American, the Company
submitted a plan to the NYSE American on October 9, 2023 addressing actions it has taken and how it intends to regain compliance with
the continued listing standards within the required 18 month period ending March 8, 2025.

 On November 21, 2023, the Company received notification
(the "Acceptance Letter") from NYSE American that the Company's plan to regain compliance with NYSE American's
listing standards was accepted. The Acceptance Letter also stated that the Company is not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(i) of
the Company Guide, which requires an issuer to have stockholders' equity of $ 2.0 million or more if it has reported losses from
continuing operations and/or net losses in two out of its three most recent fiscal years. NYSE American has granted the Company a plan
period through March 8, 2025 to regain compliance with Sections 1003(a)(i) and (ii) of the Company Guide. If the Company is not in compliance
with all continued listing standards by that date or if the Company does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period,
the Company will be subject to delisting proceedings.

 Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial
Instruments–Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and also issued subsequent
amendments to the initial guidance, collectively, ASC 326, to replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current U.S. GAAP with
a methodology that requires the reflection of expected credit losses and will also require consideration of a broader range of reasonable
and supportable information to determine credit loss estimates. For many entities with financial instruments, the standard will require
the use of a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which may result
in the earlier recognition of credit losses on financial instruments. The Company adopted this guidance during the quarter ended March
31, 2023, which had no material impact on the financial statements.

LOSS PER SHARE

 Basic net loss per share is determined by dividing
net loss attributable to shareholders by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects potential dilution
and is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period increased by the numbers
of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all potential common shares had been issued and were dilutive. However,
potentially dilutive securities are excluded from the computation of diluted EPS to the extent that their effect is anti-dilutive. The
following table shows the components of diluted shares for the years ending:

INVENTORIES

 Inventories primarily include bottled wine which is carried at the
lower cost (calculated using the average cost method) or net realizable value. During 2023, the Company recorded a $ 1.8 million inventory
write down to net realizable value, which is recorded in cost of revenue in the financial statements. The write-down was the result of
entering into an agreement to sell products at a price that was lower than the Company's cost. The finished goods inventory at December
31, 2023 includes a valuation reserve of $ 112,000. Inventories consist of the following at:

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

 Rights offering

 During the first quarter of 2023, the
Company distributed, at no charge to holders of the Company's common stock, non-transferable subscription rights to purchase
up to an aggregate of 6,366,129 Units. Each Unit consisted of one share of our common stock and a Warrant to
purchase one share of our common stock. The Warrants were exercisable immediately, expire five years from the
date of issuance and have an exercise price of $ 1.25 per share. For each share of common stock held by a stockholder of the
Company on February 22, 2023, the record date of the Rights Offering, such stockholder received 0.5 subscription rights.
Each whole subscription right allowed the holder thereof to subscribe to purchase one Unit, which the Company refers to as the basic
subscription right, at a subscription price of $ 1.00 per Unit. In addition, any holder of subscription rights exercising his,
her or its basic subscription right in full was eligible to subscribe to purchase additional Units that remained unsubscribed in the
Rights Offering at the same subscription price per Unit that applied to the basic subscription right, subject to proration among
participants exercising their over-subscription privilege, which the Company refers to as the over-subscription privilege. Upon the
closing of the Rights Offering, which occurred on March 14, 2023, the Company issued 3,143,969 shares of common stock
and 3,143,969 warrants and received aggregate gross cash proceeds of approximately $ 3.14 million. After deducting
dealer-manager fees and other fees and expenses related to the Rights Offering, the Company received net proceeds of approximately
$ 2.6 million. If exercised, additional gross proceeds of up to approximately $ 3.93 million may be received through the
exercise of warrants issued in the Rights Offering.

 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

 On July 27, 2023, the Company
filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series
A Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.001 per share (the "Series A Stock"), which was amended on August 1, 2023 prior
to the issuance of any shares of Series A Stock by filing Amendment No. 1 thereto (as so amended, the "Certificate"). The
Certificate designates 10,000 shares of the Company's undesignated preferred stock as Series A Stock and establishes the rights
and preferences of Series A Stock.

 On August 2, 2023, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with two accredited investors (the "Purchasers") pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell in a private placement
(the "Offering") shares of Series A Stock.

 Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers collectively
agreed to purchase up to 10,000 shares of Series A Stock at a per share purchase price equal to $ 100.00 (the "Stated
Value"), for total gross proceeds of up to $ 1.0 million. The Purchasers agreed to purchase 4,000 shares of Series
A Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $ 400,000 at an initial closing of the Offering (the "Initial Closing"), which
occurred on August 2, 2023. The Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the Company will issue and sell to the Purchasers, and the
Purchasers will purchase, an additional 4,000 shares of Series A Stock at a second closing (the "Second Closing"),
which occurred on September 7, 2023. The Securities Purchase Agreement provided that the Company will issue and sell to the Purchasers,
and the Purchasers will purchase, an additional 2,000 shares of Series A Stock at an optional closing (the "Optional Closing"),
which occurred on December 1, 2023.

 Each share of Series A Stock is convertible,
at any time and from time to time from and after the date of the Initial Closing at the option of the holder thereof, into the number
of shares of common stock ("Conversion Shares") calculated by dividing the Stated Value by a conversion price (the "Conversion
Price") of $ 0.10. However, if the Company's common stock fails to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on a stock
exchange, then the Conversion Price thereafter will mean the lesser of (i) $ 0.10, or (ii) the closing sale price of the common stock
on the trading day immediately preceding the conversion date; provided that the Conversion Price shall not be less than $ 0.05 (the
"Floor Price"). The Conversion Price is subject to standard adjustments based stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations
and the like, and the Floor Price is also subject to anti-dilution adjustments resulting from future offerings of common stock (or common
stock equivalents) at a price less than the prevailing Conversion Price.

 The Series A Stock contains "blocker"
provisions restricting the holders' ability to exercise conversion rights if the issuance of Conversion Shares would result in
such holder beneficially owning in excess of 4.99 % of the Company's common stock. In addition, a Series A Stock holder's
ability to convert Series A Stock to common stock will be subject to an "Exchange Share Cap" and an "Individual Holder
Share Cap." Under the Exchange Cap, the total number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding Preferred
Shares, when added to any previously issued Dividend Shares (as defined below), may not exceed 19.9 % of the Company's issued
and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the date on which shares of Series A Stock are first issued. Under the Individual Holder
Share Cap, no holder of Series A Stock will have the right to acquire common stock upon conversion of the Series A Stock if the issuance
of shares of common stock would result in converting holder beneficially owning in excess of 19.9 % of the number of shares of common
stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance. The Exchange Share Cap and the Individual Holder Share Cap will not
apply if the Company obtains stockholder approval to issue the shares of common stock exceeding the applicable cap as required by the
NYSE American LLC Company Guide.

 F- 15

 8. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY (continued)

 Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(continued)

 Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary (a "Liquidation"), the Holders shall (i) first be entitled to receive out
of the assets, whether capital or surplus, of the Company an amount equal to 150 % times the Stated Value for each share of Series
A Stock before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any junior securities and (ii) then be entitled to participate
in the distribution of remaining assets with the holders of common stock on an as-if-converted to common stock basis (disregarding for
such purposes any conversion limitations).

 The Company may redeem (i) up to 75 % of
the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Stock for a price per share equal to 150 % of the Stated Value thereof if such redemption
occurs within six months from the date of issuance, and (ii) up to 50 % of the issued and outstanding shares of Series A Stock for
a price per share equal to 200 % of the Stated Value thereof if such redemption occurs after six months but before the expiration
of twelve months from the date of issuance.

 Each holder of a share of Series A Stock is entitled
to receive dividends payable, subject to certain conditions, in cash or shares of common stock ("Dividend Shares") valued
as either (i) the then applicable Conversion Price, or (ii) 50 % of the then current market price of the Company's common stock,
at the dividend rate of 12 % per annum. Dividends are cumulative and will be payable on July 31st of each year. However, the Company
may not pay dividends by issuing Dividend Shares if and to the extent that the issuance of such Dividend Shares, when added to all Conversion
Shares previously issued upon prior conversions of Series A Stock and previously issued Dividend Shares (if any), would exceed the Exchange
Share Cap or result in a Series A Stock holder beneficially owning shares of common stock in excess of the Individual Holder Share Cap,
in each case unless the Company obtains stockholder approval for such issuances.

The shares of Series A Stock will vote with the common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders of
the Company other than any proposal to approve the issuance of shares of common stock in excess of the Exchange Share Cap or the Individual
Holder Share Cap. The Preferred Shares will vote on an as-converted to common stock basis, taking into account the conversion limitations
resulting from the Exchange Share Cap and the Individual Holder Share Cap, if and as applicable; however, solely for purposes of determining
voting rights, the Conversion Price shall be equal to the most recent closing sale price of the Common Stock as of the execution and
delivery of the Securities Purchase Agreement, which was $ 0.47.

 Third Party Vendor Engagements and Related
Founder Share Forfeitures

 In December 2022, Rick Nechio and Damian Novak, two of the Company's
founders, together agreed to forfeit and transfer back to the Company without consideration a total of 970,000 shares of common stock
of the Company held by them, to enable the Company to preserve cash by issuing such number of shares to certain of the Company's
service providing vendors without subjecting the Company's other stockholders to dilution therefrom. Also in December 2022, the
Company entered into agreements to issue 970,000 shares to such vendors in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). Recipients of the shares included our third-party sales and distribution
management service provider, as well as certain advertising, public relations, consulting, and legal service providers. Pursuant to agreements
with certain of these vendors, the Company has agreed to issue up to an additional 1,030,000 shares of common stock upon the Company achieving
specified revenue-related performance objectives within identified timeframes. The Company recorded equity-based compensation totaling
$ 1,233,300 during 2022 related to the share awards. Equity-based compensation expense related to the additional shares subject to revenue-related
performance objectives was not material to the 2023 or 2022 financial statements.

EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

 As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there was $ 0 and $ 991,167, respectively,
of unrecognized equity-based compensation expense recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets. This expense was for various marketing
and advertising services in exchange for common stock and was being expensed over the lifetime of license agreements with celebrity endorsers.
The license agreements were terminated during Q3 2023 and the full balance of $ 991,167 was recognized as expense during the year ended
December 31, 2023.

 Restricted Stock Units

 On February 24, 2022, the Company entered into a separation agreement
with the former Chief Operating Officer (COO). Among other things, the Company agreed to provide the former COO with cash and expense
reimbursements totaling $ 175,000 and an amendment of the COO's Restricted Stock Agreement to accelerate the vesting of the 251,851 restricted
stock units. Due to the modification of the terms of this award, the fair value was remeasured as of the modification date. Total equity-based
compensation expense related to this restricted stock unit awards was $ 1,658,485 for the year ended December 31, 2022. During the second
quarter of 2022, these awards were fully vested and the shares of common stock underlying the awards had been delivered.

units had a vesting period that coincided with the Company filing its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and had a stipulation
that each of the executives attained performance objectives. These employees terminated during the third quarter of 2023 and therefore
the stock units were forfeited.

 Stock Options

 On March 11, 2022, the Company granted the option
to purchase 427,001 shares of common stock at $ 3.47 per share to its Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to the Chief Executive
Officer's employment agreement with the Company. The shares vest in three equal installments on the nine month, one year, and two
year anniversaries of the grant date and are exercisable for 10 years from the grant date. On June 8, 2022, the Chief Executive
Officer's employment with the Company ended resulting in the forfeiture of the entire award, which remained unvested at the time.

 On March 30, 2022, in addition to the restricted
stock granted to the Company's new Chief Financial Officer, the Company granted the Chief Financial Officer an option to purchase
 200,000 shares of common stock at $ 3.30 per share, pursuant to the employment agreement. The shares vest in three equal installments. The
first third vested immediately on the grant date of March 30, 2022, and the remaining tranches were scheduled to vest on the one year
and two year anniversaries of the grant date subject to continued employment with the Company through the applicable vesting date. The
options are exercisable for 10 years from the grant date or, if earlier, ninety (90) days following termination of employment.
Effective June 24, 2022, this employee resigned from the Company and the unvested options were subsequently forfeited.

 Stock Options (continued)

 Effective September 1, 2022, the Company entered into an Employment
Transition and Consulting Agreement with the previous interim Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the Transition and Consulting Agreement,
the Company granted a stock option to purchase 69,892 shares of the Company's common stock at a per share exercise price equal to
$ 3.04 (the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant). The stock option vested with respect to 3,584
shares on the last calendar day of September, October and November of 2022, and the balance of the stock option vested in monthly installments
as nearly equal as possible (approximately 6,571 shares each) on the last calendar day of each month from December 2022 through August
2023. The total expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was $ 125,783 and $ 41,449, respectively.

 In November 2021, the Company executed founder option agreements with
four Class F members. The terms of the agreements grant each founder the right and option to purchase common stock up to 25 % of the total
shares in the Founders' Option Pool upon the consummation of the Company's IPO. The Founder's Option Pool is a pool
of shares reserved for founding members of the Company and will be comprised of 15 % of the total shares of common stock outstanding immediately
prior to the initial closing of the IPO. The options will vest in 20 % installments. Each installment will vest upon the closing price
of common stock reaching certain milestones ranging from 200 % to 600 % of the IPO price. If the vesting condition is not achieved within
three years of the grant date, the options will forfeit. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the options have not reached any of the vesting
milestones required and as such, the probability of reaching each milestone has been factored into the value to be recognized over the
three-year vesting period. As of December 31, 2023, three of the four members had terminated their agreements and only 375,000 options
remained.

 Equity-based compensation expense totaling $ 112,040
and $ 223,224 has been recognized relating to these stock options during 2023 and 2022, respectively. The total unrecognized equity-based
compensation expense was $ 6,259 and $ 176,835 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

 The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing
model to estimate the fair value of equity-based awards. The inputs for the Black-Scholes valuation model require management's
significant assumptions. Prior to the Company's IPO, the price per share of common stock was determined by the Company's
board based on recent prices of common stock sold in private offerings. Subsequent to the IPO, the price per share of common stock is
determined by using the closing market price on the New York Stock Exchange on the grant date. The risk-free interest rate is based on
the rate for U.S. Treasury securities at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the expected life at the grant
date. The expected term for employee and nonemployee awards ranged from 5 to 10 years based on industry data, vesting period, contractual
period, among other factors. The expected volatility was estimated at 75 % based on historical volatility information of peer companies
that are publicly available in combination with the Company's calculated volatility since being publicly traded. The Company does
not expect to pay dividends. For awards with a performance condition, stock compensation is recognized over the requisite service period
if it is probably that the performance condition will be satisfied.

 Deferred income taxes reflect the net effects
of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used
for income tax purposes. The Company's deferred tax assets relate primarily to its net operating loss carry forwards and other
balance sheet basis differences. In accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes," the Company recorded a valuation allowance to
fully offset the net deferred tax asset, because it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize future benefits associated
with these deferred tax assets at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The tax effects of temporary differences and carry forwards that give rise
to significant portions of the deferred tax assets are as follows:

 At December 31, 2023, the Company had federal
and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $ 23.9 million and $ 9.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, the
Company had federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 13.3 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively. The net
operating loss carry forwards have no expiration.

 The Company recognizes uncertain tax
positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be
sustained upon examination by tax authorities. For those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than not recognition threshold, the
Company recognized the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. As
of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits. There are no unrecognized tax benefits included on the
balance sheet that would, if recognized, impact the effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate there will be a significant
change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

 The Company is subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations.
The Company's federal, state and local income tax returns are subject to examination by taxing authorities for the three years after
the returns are filed, and the Company's federal, state, and local income tax returns for 2022 and 2021 remain open to examination.
Prior to the Company's December 2021 conversion to a corporation, the Company was a limited liability company and therefore was
a disregarded legal entity for income tax purposes. The Company's policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain
tax positions as a component of general and administrative expense.

SUPPLIER AND CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION

 The Company has an agreement with an unrelated
party for various wine making activities, including production, bottling, labelling, and packaging. The Company pays certain storage,
administrative fees and taxes related to the purchased goods. There is no specified term of the agreement but continues as additional
blanket sales orders are issued. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 100 % and 96 %, respectively, of the Company's inventory
purchases were from this supplier.

 The Company also engages with other suppliers
for the purchase of a select varietal of wine to be offered in limited quantities. There are no formal agreements due to the infrequency
of activity with these suppliers.

 A significant portion of the Company's wholesale revenue comes
from three national distributor customers that operate in several markets. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, 74 % and 58 %
of the Company's wholesale revenue came from these customers, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, these customers accounted
for 73 % and 90 %, respectively, of accounts receivable.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 The Company had an arrangement with Rabbit Hole
Equity, LLC (RHE), a related party due to common ownership, under which RHE provided development, administrative and financial services
to the Company. RHE is solely owned by the majority member of Nechio and Novak, LLC, which is the majority shareholder of the Company.
Under the agreement, the Company will pay or reimburse RHE, as applicable, for any expenses it, or third parties acting on its behalf,
incurs for the Company. For any selling, general and administrative activities performed by RHE or RHE employees, RHE, as applicable,
charged back the employee salaries and wages, rent and related utilities. Beginning in December 2021, the Company entered into a payroll
arrangement with a third party and now incurs employee salary and wage expenses directly.

inventory from Appellation Brands, LLC in the amount of $ 195,116.

 In January 2022, the Company entered into a consulting
agreement with FELCS, LLC, an entity owned by Damian Novak to provide consulting and advisory services to the Company in exchange for
$ 25,000 per month. The agreement expires in December 2022, subject to automatic one-year renewals unless written notice to terminate
the contract is given by either party. For the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $ 275,000 in total expense related
to this agreement. This agreement was terminated in November 2022.

 In April 2022, the Company amended its agreement
with Whetstone Consulting to include additional bonus commissions ranging from $ 5,000 to $ 100,000 subject to specific distribution milestones
in addition to the existing $ 5,000 per month base compensation. The agreement has an initial term of one year and automatically renews
for successive one-year periods unless terminated by either party with advance notice. This agreement terminated in May 2023 when the
consultant was hired as an employee of the company. For the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company recognized base compensation

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 Timothy Michaels

 On February 24, 2022, Timothy Michaels, the former
Chief Operating Officer of the Company, signed a Separation Agreement and Release (the "Separation Agreement") in connection
with the termination of his employment with the Company, which occurred on February 7, 2022.

 On May 27, 2022, Mr. Michaels filed a complaint
against the Company in the Fourth Judicial District Court, Hennepin County, Minnesota, alleging that the Company breached the February
24, 2022 Separation Agreement by including a restricted "lock-up" legend on shares of the Company's common stock issued
to Mr. Michaels pursuant to the Settlement Agreement. The complaint also included counts alleging breach of the implied covenant
of good faith and fair dealing, issuer liability under Minn. Stat. § 336.8-401 for delay in removing or directing the Company's
transfer agent to remove the lock-up legend from the shares, conversion and civil theft.

 The Company has denied the allegations and intends to vigorously defend
against the lawsuit. The Company made a motion seeking dismissal of the conversion and civil theft counts, which was granted by the Fourth
Judicial District Court, Hennepin County, Minnesota on October 31, 2022. On August 9, 2023, the Company moved for summary judgment on
Mr. Michaels' remaining claims. A jury trial commenced on January 23, 2024. During trial, on January 24, 2024, the Company filed
a motion for judgement in favor of the Company as a matter of law, which was denied by the Court. On January 25, 2024, the jury in the
lawsuit rendered a verdict against the Company awarding damages to Mr. Michaels in the amount of $ 585,976.25, which is included in settlement
payable in the accompanying balance sheet. On February 22, 2024, the Company filed a renewed motion for post-verdict judgment in favor
of the Company as a matter of law. On February 26, 2024, the Judge in the lawsuit denied the renewed motion for post-verdict judgment.

 Website-related Plaintiff's Lawsuit

 On January 26, 2024, the Company was served with a complaint filed
in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York alleging that the Company has failed to design, construct, maintain
and operate its Internet website to be fully accessible to and independently usable by blind or visually-impaired persons, thereby denying
blind and visually-impaired persons with equal access to the Company's goods and services in violation of the Title III of the Americans
with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the New York Human Rights Law, the New York Civil Rights Law. On February 16, 2024, the Company filed
an Answer to the complaint denying the plaintiff's allegations and asserting affirmative defenses thereto.

 Janelle Anderson Litigation Settlement
and Related Founder Share Forfeitures

 The Company was a party
to an action pending in Hennepin County District Court, captioned Janelle Anderson v. Fresh Vine Wine, Inc., Damian Novak, and Rick Nechio,
Court File No. 27-CV-22-11491 (the "Lawsuit"), in which Ms. Anderson alleged, among other things, that the Company terminated
her employment in retaliation for reports of alleged wrongdoing pursuant to the Minnesota Whistleblower Act. Defendants also included
Damian Novak, former Executive Chairman and a former director of the Company, and Rick Nechio, former interim Chief Executive Officer
and a director of the Company. The suit was dismissed on March 6, 2023, with prejudice.

 On January 27,
2023, the Company entered into a Global Mutual Compromise, Release and Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement")
among Ms. Anderson and each of Messrs. Novak and Nechio. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Ms. Anderson agreed to dismiss the Lawsuit
with prejudice and to file with the court any and all documents necessary to effect such dismissal with prejudice within five business
days after all settlement consideration has been actually received by her, and the parties agreed to general mutual releases. The Company
also agreed to indemnify Ms. Anderson and hold her harmless against any liability, civil damages, penalties, or fines claimed against
her for any of her actions done within the course and scope of her employment with the Company as required by Minn. Stat. §181.970,
and under any applicable insurance policies, including but not limited to any directors and officers policies. The Settlement Agreement
also contains a non-disparagement provision.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS (continued)

 Janelle
Anderson Litigation Settlement and Related Founder Share Forfeitures (continued)

 As consideration for
Ms. Anderson's dismissal and release, and provided that she does not revoke or rescind the Settlement Agreement within prescribed
time periods, the Company agreed to make a cash payment to Ms. Anderson in the amount of $ 1,250,000, less certain attorney fees
and relevant taxes and other withholdings, in a lump sum. The Company recouped approximately $ 805,000 of this cash payment from
insurance coverage. The cash payment is in addition to the $ 400,000 that the Company previously paid to Ms. Anderson in January
2023 in respect of 2022 bonus compensation earned by Ms. Anderson under her employment agreement while employed by the Company. Also
as contemplated by the Settlement Agreement, the Company and Ms. Anderson agreed to enter into a consulting agreement (the "Anderson
Consulting Agreement") pursuant to which Ms. Anderson would provide certain consulting services to the Company for a period of
six months. As consideration for such services, the Company agreed to grant and issue to Ms. Anderson 500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock (the "Anderson Consulting Shares") from the Company's 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the
"Anderson Consulting Share Grant"). The cash payment and the Anderson Consulting Share Grant were scheduled to be made at
the "closing" of the Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Closing"), subject to Ms. Anderson not revoking or
rescinding the Settlement Agreement during the applicable revocation period. The Settlement Closing was completed on February 20,
2023, with prejudice. No additional expense has been recorded during 2023 regarding this matter.

 Also pursuant to the
Settlement Agreement, Damian Novak, former Executive Chairman and director, resigned as Executive Chairman and removed himself from his
management duties with the Company effective February 20, 2023, and has resigned from our board of directors promptly following
completion of the subscription rights offering on March 14, 2023. In addition, Rick Nechio, the Company's former interim Chief
Executive Officer and director, resigned from our board of directors effective February 20, 2023.

 In conjunction with
entering into the Settlement Agreement, Rick Nechio and Damian Novak entered into Agreements to Forfeit Shares of Common Stock (the
"Forfeiture Agreements") pursuant to which each agreed to forfeit and transfer back to the Company without
consideration 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company held by them (a total of 500,000 shares), to enable
the Company to issue the Anderson Consulting Shares to Ms. Anderson without subjecting the Company's other stockholders to
dilution therefrom (the "Anderson Consulting-related Forfeitures"). The Anderson
Consulting-related Forfeitures became effective in connection with the Settlement Closing.

 Agreement and Plan of Merger with Notes
Live, Inc. (continued)

 Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the closing of the Merger, (i) each then outstanding share of Notes Live common
stock (collectively, "Notes Live common stock") (which comprises all of Notes Live's outstanding capital stock) will
be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Fresh Vine common stock calculated in accordance with the Merger Agreement
(the "Exchange Ratio"), (ii) each then outstanding warrant to purchase Notes Live common stock will be exchanged (or otherwise
amended) for a warrant exercisable (at an exercise price adjusted to reflect to the Exchange Ratio) to acquire that number of shares
of Fresh Vine common stock equal to the number of warrant shares multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, and (iii) any then outstanding Notes
Live promissory note that is convertible into Notes Live common stock will be exchanged, or otherwise amended, such that it will be convertible
from and after the Merger into shares of Fresh Vine common stock at a per share conversion price adjusted to reflect the Exchange Ratio.
Each share of Fresh Vine common stock and each option and warrant to purchase Fresh Vine common stock that is outstanding at
the effective time of the Merger will remain outstanding in accordance with its terms and such shares of Fresh Vine common stock, options
and warrants will be unaffected by the merger (subject adjustment based on the proposed Reverse Split described below).

 As contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, Fresh Vine intends to effect a reverse stock split at or around the effect date of the merger at a ratio that results in the
Fresh Vine common stock satisfying the initial listing standards of the NYSE American stock exchange and the exchange ratio in the Merger
being as near to one as reasonably practicable (i.e., so that each share of Notes Live capital stock will be exchanged in the Merger for
approximately one share of Fresh Vine common stock) (the "Reverse Split").

 At
the effective time of the Merger, the board of directors of Fresh Vine is expected to consist of seven members, all of whom will be designated
by Notes Live.

 Consummation of the Merger is subject to certain closing conditions,
as described in the Merger Agreement.

 The
Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights of each of Fresh Vine and Notes Live. Upon termination of the Merger Agreement under
specified circumstances, Fresh Vine may be required to pay Notes Live a termination fee of $ 1.0 million and/or reimburse Notes Live's
expenses up to a maximum of $ 500,000, and Notes Live may be required to pay Fresh Vine a termination fee of $ 1.0 million, reimburse Fresh
Vine's expenses up to a maximum of $ 500,000, and/or, at the election of Fresh Vine, redeem the Fresh Vine Equity Investment at
the same price per share as the purchase price paid by Fresh Vine therefor.

 Concurrently
with the execution of the Merger Agreement, (a) officers, directors and certain 10 % or greater shareholders of Notes Live (solely in
their respective capacities as Notes Live shareholders) holding approximately 42 % of the outstanding shares of Notes Live capital stock
entitled to vote have entered into voting and support agreements with Fresh Vine to vote, among other things, all of their shares of
Notes Live capital stock in favor of adoption of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and against any alternative
acquisition proposals (the "Notes Live Support Agreements"), and (b) certain officers, directors and stockholders of Fresh
Vine have entered into voting and support agreements with Notes Live to vote, among other things, all of their shares of Fresh Vine capital
stock in favor of the Fresh Vine Shareholder Matters and against any alternative acquisition proposals (the "Fresh Support Agreements",
and together with the Notes Live Support Agreements, the "Support Agreements").
