THE DISCLOSURES IN THIS PRESENTATION SUPERSEDE AND REPLACE THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN ANY PRIOR PRESENTATION REGARDING THE SAME,

INCLUDING FOR CERTAINTY, SUPERSEDING AND REPLACING ANY CONFLICTING DISCLOSURES CONTAINED IN SUCH PRIOR PRESENTATION.

No representations or warranties, express or implied, are given in, or in respect of, this presentation. To the fullest extent permitted by law, in no event will VWE or any of its

stockholders, affiliates, representatives, directors, officers, employees, advisers or agents be responsible or liable for any direct, indirect or consequential loss or loss of profit

arising from the use of this presentation, its contents, its omissions, reliance on the information contained within it, or on opinions communicated in relation thereto or otherwise

arising in connection therewith. Industry and market data used in this presentation have been obtained through research, surveys and studies conducted by industry

publications and other third parties. VWE has not independently verified the data obtained from these sources and they cannot assure you of the data’s accuracy or

completeness. This data is subject to change. In addition, this presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all of the information that may be required to make a

full analysis of VWE. Recipients of this presentation should make their own evaluation of VWE and of the relevance and adequacy of the information contained herein and

should make such other investigations as they deem necessary.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the statements contained in this investor presentation are forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws (collectively, “forward-looking

statements”). Forward-looking statements are all statements other than those of historical fact, and generally may be identified by the use of words such as “anticipate,”

“believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “may,” “model,” “outlook,” “plan,” “pro forma,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” or other similar expressions

that indicate future events or trends. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, estimates and forecasts of financial and performance metrics, projections

of market opportunity and market share, business plans and strategies, expansion and acquisition opportunities, growth prospects and consumer and industry trends and

statements regarding estimates of inventory adjustments and possibility of other further adjustments, regarding the timing required to finalize them, determination of the periods

to which they relate and the possibility of other adjustments in the audit process or our financial reporting process generally. These statements are based on various

assumptions, whether or not identified in this press release, and on the current expectations of VWE’s management and are not guarantees of actual performance. These

forward-looking statements are provided only to provide information currently available to us and are not intended to serve as and must not be relied on by any investor as, a

guarantee, assurance or definitive statement of fact or probability. Actual events and circumstances are difficult or impossible to predict and may differ materially from those

contained in or implied by such forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the

control of VWE. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements include, among others: the

results of VWE’s internal and external audit and other financial reporting procedures, whether VWE is able to complete them by October 13, 2021 as currently expected, the

Company’s ability to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting and to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, including the

ability to recruit and train audit, accounting and other personnel, the effect of economic conditions on the industries and markets in which VWE operates, including financial

market conditions, fluctuations in prices, interest rates and market demand; failure to realize the anticipated benefits of combination with Bespoke Capital Acquisition Corp.; risks

relating to the uncertainty of the projected financial information; the effects of competition on VWE’s future business; risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of VWE’s

business and the timing of expected business milestones; the potential adverse effects of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic on VWE’s business and the U.S. economy; declines

or unanticipated changes in consumer demand for VWE’s products; the impact of environmental catastrophe, natural disasters, disease, pests, weather conditions and

inadequate water supply on VWE’s business; VWE’s significant reliance on its distribution channels; potential reputational harm to VWE’s brands from internal and external

sources; possible decreases in VWE’s wine quality ratings; integration risks associated with acquisitions; changes in applicable laws and regulations and the significant expense

to VWE of operating in a highly regulated industry; VWE’s ability to make payments on its indebtedness; and those factors discussed in documents of VWE filed, or to be filed,

with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) or Canadian securities regulatory authorities. There may be additional risks including other adjustments that VWE

does not presently know or that VWE currently believes are immaterial that could also cause actual results to differ from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking

statements. In addition, forward-looking statements reflect VWE’s expectations, plans or forecasts of future events and views as of the date and time of this press release. VWE

undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, except as may be required by law. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be

placed upon these forward-looking statements.

Unaudited Results

This release reflects unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended June 30, 2021. Our actual audited results may vary from the unaudited results

presented herein due to the completion of our financial closing procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time VWE files its

Annual Report on Form 10-K. These unaudited financial results have not been audited or reviewed by our independent registered public accounting firm. These unaudited

results should not be viewed as a substitute for our annual audited financial statements.

Financial Information; Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The financial information and data contained in this presentation is unaudited and does not conform to Regulation S-X. Such information and data may not be included in, may

be adjusted in or may be presented differently in, any prospectus or registration statement to be filed by VWE with the SEC or Canadian securities regulatory authorities, and

such differences may be material.

Some of the financial information and data contained in this presentation, such as Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin, have not been prepared in accordance

with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). VWE believes that the use of these non-GAAP financial measures provides an additional tool for

investors to use in evaluating historical or projected operating results and trends in and in comparing VWE’s financial measures with other similar companies, many of which

may present similar non-GAAP financial measures to investors. Management does not consider these non-GAAP measures in isolation or as an alternative to financial

measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they reflect the exercise of judgments by management

about which expense and revenue items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations,

management presents historical non-GAAP financial measures in connection with GAAP results. However, not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation

of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is available without unreasonable efforts at this time.

In addition to reporting net income, a U.S. generally accepted accounting principle (“GAAP”), VWE uses Adjusted EBITDA to

supplement GAAP measures of performance to evaluate the effectiveness of its business strategies. Adjusted EBITDA is

defined as earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense, casualty

losses or gains, impairment losses, changes in the fair value of derivatives, restructuring related income or expenses,

acquisition and integration costs, and certain non-cash, nonrecurring, or other items that are included in net income that VWE

does not consider indicative of its ongoing operating performance, including COVID-related adjustments.

Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure of financial performance under GAAP. VWE believes this non-GAAP measure

provide investors with additional insight into the underlying trends of VWE’s business and assists in analyzing VWE’s

performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that VWE does not believe are indicative of its

core operating performance, which allows for a better comparison against historical results and expectations for future

performance. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations as an analytical tool, and it should not be considered in isolation or as a

substitute for analysis of results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may produce results that vary

from the GAAP measure and may not be comparable with a similarly defined non-GAAP measure used by other companies.

In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to

some of the adjustments in this presentation. VWE’s presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an

implication that future results will be unaffected by the types of items excluded from the calculation of Adjusted EBITDA.

VWE cannot provide a reconciliation of its forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and net revenue metrics to the nearest GAAP measure

without unreasonable effort or expense due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting and providing reliable estimates for certain

items. These non-GAAP financial measures are preliminary estimates and are subject to risks and uncertainties, including,

among others, changes in connection with quarter-end and year-end adjustments. These items reside outside the Company’s

control and may vary greatly between periods and could significantly impact future financial results. For more information

regarding the use of non-GAAP measures, please see discussion provided under Non-GAAP Financial Information in this press

release and the Company’s filings with the SEC.
