The Cardano Foundation has announced a partnership with the National Wine Agency of Georgia. Cardano blockchain technology will be used to ensure the consistently high quality of Georgian wine. The organization will develop a "creative" and "cost-effective" certification and traceability system together with the Swiss platform Scantrust.
The pilot program will include 100,000 bottles of wine bottled next spring in Bolnisi, a city in the Kvemo Kartli region. Consumers will be able to verify its authenticity with a unique QR code. According to Levan MEKHUZLA, chairman of the National Wine Agency, Cardano's technology enables supply chain tracking at scale.
The idea of eliminating wine counterfeiting with blockchain is not new. Last year, the Georgian government partnered with Norwegian blockchain company WiV Technology to issue non-fungible tokens (NFTs) for its wine. In 2018, venture capital firm Medici Ventures acquired a stake in wine tracking company Vin-X.
