Combating counterfeiting (estimated losses of €2.4 billion), ensuring traceability (at a time when the secondary market is growing), guaranteeing the quality of storage or transport conditions and, last but not least, recreating the link between wineries and consumers: these are the major challenges facing the wine sector, for which the start-up Wine in Block has developed blockchain-based solutions. The company, founded in 2020, offers NFC tags for bottles and a Qwib box for cases containing the wine's digital passport. The tag assigns a unique and unforgeable digital identity

The information is read using a simple smartphone application. Wine in Block has also developed NFTs for wineries to ensure the transfer of ownership of a bottle, without it necessarily changing hands, and to enable them to receive a percentage of the resale price.
