Web3 & Wine
Web3 applications are going to change the way we produce, distribute, purchase, and enjoy wine. Bringing transparency to a heretofore opaque industry will empower producers to demonstrate exact vineyard and sourcing information to consumers and connect with them in ways never before considered. Blockchain security will bring transparency to supply chain and secondary market movement at the bottle level and provide demonstrable authenticity and provenance data to buyers prior to purchase, thereby stamping out a considerable amount of fraud. NFTs create opportunities for producer/consumer interaction at the time of consumption, and even after the fact: NFTs are retained in digital wallet and can be shared with other wine lovers and producers, opening opportunities for the producers to see who is enjoying their provably authentic bottles, and in what settings.
