More versatile and powerful, Smart cork uses RFID technology to provide even more information about a wine's background.

The RFID-enabled wine cork has been created by UTT company.

It is called Smart cork and it consists of an artificial wine cork embedded with RFID tags in various frequencies.

Smart cork allows winemakers to share product pedigree data like bottling date, type of grapes used, and alcohol percentage with distributors, retailers, and consumers.

This ensures authenticity, automates the warehousing process, and can promote proper storage and handling.

When the bottle is opened, the  RFID label is removed, destroying the chip and preventing a thief from switching labels .

2008, the utcorq is engineered to significantly reduce oxygen permeability through a dramatic improvement of the internal cell structure of the closure.

The utcorq has twice the oxygen barrier properties of the utcorq Original.

This technological breakthrough helps preserve wine freshness and character, giving the potential for longer shelf life.

utcorq provides long term sealing potential and neutrality. utcorq oxygen permeability is comparable to high-grade/high-cost tree bark cork and superior to any competitive synthetic offerings. Its oxygen transmission rate has a low standard deviation and hence provides a consistent and predictable seal. utcorq are neutral and do not impart flavor or support microbial growth. Wine bottles can also be stored in an upright position, making transportation and storage easier.
