Online Wine Shoppers will Get the Real Thing from Bordeaux Provenance

The future of guaranteeing online wine buying is here.

Want to make sure the fine bottle of wine you purchase online is authentic, with just the right provenance? Thanks to a new online service for Internet buyers, you can now trace the bottles you buy. Every bottle you purchase through Bordeaux Provenance is guaranteed to arrive to you in the best condition.

The wines are all stored in the Bordeaux Winebank after they’re bottled, a building that’s outfitted with computer-operated surveillance. Radio frequency identification makes it possible to trace each and every bottle. This technology also monitors temperature and humidity to keep your bottle in perfect condition.

Thanks to the Bordeaux Winebank technology, you’ll know everything about your bottle of wine – where and how it’s stored, when it’s moved and so on. Often, these details don’t come with wine purchases, so you never know what you’re getting until you pull the cork.

We’re interested in these new technologies because they will influence the prices for wine in the future, the way they are kept today. With this type of special care, you can imagine that older wines will last longer and new wines that go into this type of system will allow newer vintages to be more available to future wine drinkers.
