What exactly is FIDEwine?
FIDEwine gives every bottle a digital passport recorded on the blockchain. Consumers scan the QR code or NFC chip to verify authenticity, trace the origin, discover the estate, and access regulatory information.
Why record traceability on the blockchain?
Because it makes the information tamper-proof and verifiable by everyone. No one, not even FIDEwine, can rewrite a bottle's history. That's what turns a simple product sheet into proof of authenticity against counterfeiting.
How does this really reassure the consumer?
They no longer have to take your word for it. They verify the origin and journey of the bottle themselves, and access complete, certified information. Trust no longer rests on the label alone.
What's in it for a distributor or retailer?
They can prove the authenticity of the bottles they sell without relying on the producer at the point of sale, and reassure their own customers directly about origin and regulatory compliance.
Is compliance with EU regulation 2021/2117 included?
Yes. Nutrition facts, ingredients and country-specific sorting rules are displayed electronically, in line with current regulations, in addition to the authenticity passport.
Do I need to reprint my labels every time something changes?
No. The printed QR code stays the same. You update the information online whenever you like, without touching paper labels already produced.
What happens if I switch providers one day?
Your passports and your data remain exportable, and your QR codes go through a redirect that you control. You are never locked into the solution — that's a deliberate design choice.
