There may not be a genie inside the bottle, but a new cork? can seemingly work wonders. Italy's Arnaldo Caprai winery? has embedded a miniature chip, hardly larger than a grain of rice?, in synthetic corks topping a limited-edition Sangiovese, called Contemporare, from the Umbria region?.
The smart cork, which is supposed to be tamper-proof?, can hold pages of information on a wine, its producer and its provenance, and the chip can both send and receive information.
Very cool!
