Security

Shifting from a system of trust to a system of truth

With the help of blockchain technology, Vinesia gives collectors clear proof of authenticity, ownership, and storage conditions with our Peace of Mind pledge.

What are the tags, and how are they used?

When our hand-selected wines arrive at our warehouse, we assign cases and/or bottles specific tags that serve different purposes for collectible wine care.

NFC tag

Near Field Communication

This tag ensures the bottle's authenticity, recording all the information about the wine itself. The NFC creates a unique ID that, along with the initial upload info, cannot be changed or tampered with.

IoT Sensors

Internet of things

Our warehouse in Luxembourg hosts several IoT sensors, which track in real-time both temperature and humidity levels. This data is sent to the blockchain for all to verify. Because it's immutable, Vinesia cannot alter that data.

BLE tag

Bluetooth low energy

This second tag lets owners check in on their stored wine remotely. T° and H° levels are continuously monitored and recorded on the blockchain. You can check these data points near-real time while ensuring your wine is still where we have said it is.

Peace of Mind

Peace of Mind means knowing your collection is authentic, traceable, and protected, from arrival at our warehouse to the moment you choose to take delivery.

Proof of storage conditions

Upon the delivery of wines from the winemakers to our Luxembourg warehouse, a tamper-proof NFC tag is applied directly over the top of the bottle or across the lid of the case. Breaking this seal indicates that the bottle has been opened or tampered with. This NFC tag transmits a unique identifier to the blockchain (Polygon), serving as the wine's certificate of authenticity. This certificate remains valid for the bottle's lifetime, whether stored in our warehouse or after delivery.

Insuring your collection

Vinesia takes extraordinary measures to ensure the safety and security of the fine wines stored on behalf of collectors in our state-of-the-art warehouse in Luxembourg.

Each bottle or case is meticulously cataloged upon arrival and assigned a unique tracking number recorded on the Polygon blockchain, guaranteeing precise identification and traceability.

The warehouse is fortified with advanced security systems, including 24/7 surveillance cameras, biometric access controls, and temperature monitoring systems that maintain optimal conditions for wine preservation.
