06 Aug 2019 --- Californian wine brand Böen, part of Copper Cane Wines & Provisions by Joseph Wagner, has become the first wine brand in the US to deploy full-scale, Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology. This new technology, developed by technological visionaries SharpEnd – The Agency of Things and Guala Closures, provides consumers with instant access to information about the wine they are purchasing simply by tapping the bottle’s cap with their smartphone. This is achieved through e-WAK, Guala Closures’ award-winning, industry-first NFC-integrated aluminum closure for wine.
