Symposium RFID Wine Reader: Drinking and Technology Mixed Together

Filed in archive Implementation on April 9, 2008

Is your bottle of wine your first love? If yes then you need to read this. I believe Giuseppe Russo loves his wine and RFID too therefore he came out with the concept of Symposium RFID wine reader. This concept includes a combination of RFID wine reader and temperature regulator.

In order to make it work you need to attach RFID tags to your wine bottles and the RFID reader will perform its job of informing you about the details of the wine. So before taking the first sip from your glass of wine you get interesting information about the vineyard, producer of the bottle and any cultural references to the drink. There is also a thermal base plate which maintains the wine at optimal temperatures so that your wine tastes good whenever you uncork the bottle to consume it.

This would certainly make your wine drinking sessions more enjoyable since you will get to know interesting details about your wine which up till now appeared like just another bottle of wine to you. RFID has also given you a chance to visualize your wine from several angles. Now who said Wine and RFID don't mix together?
