Wine Collectors Prefer to See NFC Tags on
Their Wine Bottle Collections
Counterfeit wines are more common that people think. It has proliferated in the market over the past decade. In fact, according to a Forbes article, counterfeit wines are a multi-billion dollar problem, and even a study show that 20% of wines supplied around the world are not of the genuine kind. One cannot really distinguish between a genuine bottle of wine from a reputable vineyard versus from a counterfeiter because counterfeiters ingeniously use a the former’s own bottle and fill them with an alternative or distasteful wine.
Billionaire on Point
American billionaire Bill Koch, in 2017, has invested over $35 million to investigate, track down and confront wine fraudsters when the four bottles of wine he bought that was supposedly owned Thomas Jefferson turned out to be fake.
He had the labels of the vintage wine of Chateau Lafite Rothschild – one of the most expensive wines in the world – examined by a materials expert which concluded that the labels were applied using Elmer’s Glue; a clear signed he was swindled for the $400,000.
For a billionaire, $400,00 is nothing. But for simple wine enthusiasts who just want to experience the good life by enjoying good quality wine, they can’t afford to spend that much and find out they were duped.
Meeting the Market’s Call
For Bill Koch, son of Fred C. Koch, founder of Koch Industries, “standing up for wine collectors by shining a bright light on fakers” is worth it. It is a huge undertaking but will be worth it because now counterfeiters have found their match in a collector with very deep pockets.
But still, wine collectors are the most at risk by fraudsters just because they are not investing in the authentication of their bottles.
Prevention is still better and cheaper than the cure. Vineyards don’t have to shed out millions to prevent fraudsters from faking their wine bottles.
