CASAVIANA: NFT ART & WINE 2023 + NFT Gallery Release
On March 23, 2023, Zurich art gallery CASAVIANA- https://www.casaviana.ch/- , in collaboration with Tilmar Goos, the Boho Wine NFT Community and Chelit Winery — https://chelti.de/ - organized a unique evening that brought together two seemingly unrelated worlds: NFTs and wine.
The event, titled “NFT ART & Wine”: Exploring Blockchain Use Cases in the Wine Supply Chain” was a showcase of the latest blockchain technology use cases in the wine industry, with a focus on NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens). NFTs are digital assets that represent ownership or proof of authenticity of a unique digital item such as art, music and other collectibles.
The evening began with an introduction of Elena and Rogerio from CASAVIANA, This was followed with a presentation by blockchain expert Tilmar Goos, he introduced NFT Technology, explained Token Standards and its use focusing on growing role in the art and wine world. Heribert Küng from the Boho Wine NFT Community showcased a blockchain real life use case in the wine industry together with Vlad Tarifa.
CEO ZIMT Vlad Tarifa presented how his technology company helped several wineries to implement blockchain technology in various use cases. ZIMT is a Web3 studio that helps businesses of all sizes to unlock the benefits of Blockchain technologies.
According to Goos, NFTs can help address issues in the wine supply chain, including counterfeiting and origin tracking. By digitally recording a wine’s journey from vineyard to bottle, NFTs can provide consumers with transparent information about a wine’s origin and authenticity. Another use case he mentioned is the wine transport business where a chip in the cork would regularly measure the temperature and uploads the data on-chain to proof that the perfect transport temperature have been always kept at the same to ensure the wines quality.
Boho Wine and NFT Community founder Heribert Küng explained how he uses NFT in the wine supply chain and gave a market outlook to one which is relatively untouched representing great opportunities.
