Corkified

Every bottle,
a direct relationship.

An intelligent cork that authenticates every bottle and reveals the story of the person who opened it.

A bottle leaves your estate and disappears. Someone, somewhere, pulls the cork — and you never hear a thing. Every silent pour quietly costs you three times over.

LOST · 01

A relationship

The person who loved your wine enough to open it stays a stranger — and a stranger never becomes a loyal, repeat customer.

LOST · 02

The next sale

No way to thank them, tell them more, or offer the next bottle. The easiest sale you'll ever make walks away.

LOST · 03

Lifetime value

One happy drinker can be worth years of orders and referrals. With no connection, that value evaporates the moment the cork comes out.

The problem isn't the bottle.
It's the silence.

Introducing Corkified

One cork =
two relationships.

Corkified builds the two relationships you've been missing — one with the person who drinks your wine, one with your own business — and uses AI to make both feel human.

01

The drinker

Meet and engage the person who opens your wine.

02

Your data

Understand your business by asking, not digging.

One AI powers both

The same AI tells your drinkers personal stories (01) and answers your business questions in plain words (02).

"I poured everything into the wine. I just never got to meet the person who finally opened it."
— Every winemaker, until now
What it's for

Follow one bottle

A single bottle of your Reserva 2019 leaves the estate. Tap each card in order to follow it — and see what the metallic capsule and intelligent cork do for you at every step.

Engage & reward

Turn a first pour into a member

Thank the people who actually opened your wine — not a mailing list you rented.

Example
The story

Chapter 1 — the first tap. A guest in New York peels back the metallic capsule and taps the cork the moment your Reserva 2019 is opened. They get an instant, warm welcome from you and tap once to join your club — early access to the next release included. An anonymous pour becomes a named, contactable member, with no loyalty card and no rented list.

Back
Know your drinker

See where it's really enjoyed

Not where it shipped — where, when and how it was opened.

Example
The story

Chapter 2 — you learn who they are. That same tap tells you the truth your distributor never could: this Reserva 2019 was opened on a Friday night in a Manhattan apartment, not the steakhouse on the shipping report. Multiply it across bottles and you see exactly where, when and how your wine is truly enjoyed — and you allocate the next vintage where it's genuinely loved.

Back
Protect & trace

Proof at the moment of truth

A fake can't survive the first honest scan. Provenance you can stand behind.

Example
The story

Chapter 3 — a fake tries to ride your name. Months later a “Reserva 2019” surfaces on the grey market. But the metallic capsule on a genuine bottle is intact until opening, and your real cork already logged its one true first scan. The counterfeit’s capsule is wrong and its cork can’t pass the first-scan check — the buyer sees the mismatch instantly, and you get an alert showing exactly where it appeared.

Back
Grow the value

Re-cork, re-seal, re-prove

Give an aged bottle a documented provenance worth paying more for.

Example
The story

Chapter 4 — years later, it’s worth more. A collector holding a cellared Reserva 2019 re-corks it before auction. A fresh metallic capsule and a new Corkified seal log the date and unbroken chain of custody, so the next buyer verifies full provenance in a single tap — and bids higher because the proof travels with the bottle.

Back
The first scan

Sealed until the moment of truth.

The metallic capsule hides the cork. Remove the capsule, and the very first tap does two things at once — proves the wine is genuine, and connects you to everyone that reads the cork.

1 The drinker taps the cork with their phone…

2 …and this comes back, instantly:

First scan
Genuine

Uncloneable proof, verified at opening. A counterfeit can never fake the first read.

How it works

PHASE 01

Sealed & Safe

The tag sits inside the cork, under the metallic capsule. Up the distribution chain, no one can read it.

PHASE 02

First scan

At opening, the first tap verifies authenticity and reaches the real drinker. This read can never be repeated.

PHASE 03

Later scans

Still reach people and tell the story — but can't re-verify. A duplicate surfacing later flags itself.

Two advantages no one can copy.

Connect with your client, not the channel

The first read locks out everyone up the chain. You meet the person who actually poured the wine.

Authentication your customers will love

Genuineness is proven at the one moment that matters. Any clone betrays itself the instant it tries to verify.

AI personalisation

Never the same story twice.

Same facts, same voice — AI personalisation adapts the telling to each person and each pour.

First pour

An easy way in

"A bright, food-loving red from a sun-warmed slope. Pour, breathe, enjoy."

Next pours

A fresh angle

"You've met this wine — now meet the 2019 frost that shaped its quiet tension."

For an expert

Real depth

"Schist soils, 40-year vines, 14 months in French oak. Decant for an hour."

The Corkified app on a phone
The other side of the tap

This is what the drinker sees.

Every story, every reward, every proof of authenticity arrives in the Corkified app — free on iOS and Android. You never have to touch it; your drinkers will love it.

Intelligent use of AI to get valuable Insights

No dashboards. Just ask.

Stop guessing. Start knowing. Ask your wine a question like you'd text a colleague — get a plain-words answer back.

From one tap

What a single cork unlocks.

Proof at opening

Uncloneable authenticity, verified the instant the bottle is opened.

Know your customers

Meet the real people drinking your wine, where and when they pour it.

Tell your story

A living brand story, told at the perfect moment — adapted to each reader.

Smarter marketing

Reach people who already loved the wine — the cheapest, highest-converting audience there is.

More direct revenue

Turn a one-time pour into a repeat order — offer the next bottle straight to the drinker, where the market allows.

Higher bottle value

Re-seal aged bottles with fresh, documented provenance — and let collectors pay more for the proof.

Before the cork: the shelf tag

The conversation starts on the shelf.

The intelligent cork speaks at the moment a bottle is opened. The shelf tag speaks earlier — while it's still standing on the shelf or in the buyer's hands. A quick tap brings up your story and a light tamper-evidence check, before anyone has even bought.

An add-on that works alongside the cork to begin the relationship sooner — never a replacement for it.

Peace of mind

Nothing you value is at risk.

Your data

Consent-based and privacy-clean. The drinker chooses to share — you never harvest an identity.

Your trade

Works alongside importers and distributors. Your wine, seal and ageing are untouched.

Your budget

Consolidation, not new cost. One cork replaces several line items you already pay for.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked questions

Does my customer need to install anything to scan the cork?

The first time someone taps an intelligent cork, they’re guided to download the free Corkified app — that’s where authentication, stories and rewards live. If you prefer, we can open a browser page instead, with nothing to install — though some features, like club membership and repeat engagement, work best in the app.

Does the cork have any impact on my wine?

No. We’ve tested it extensively for more than two years with our partner Amorim Cork, the world’s leading cork producer. The cork’s structure and sealing performance are unchanged, there is no impact on the wine, and the NFC tag is food-safe. Full test results are available on request.

How is this different from a QR code on the label?

QR codes were made for commodities, not for fine wine. They’re easy to copy, routinely ignored, and they clutter a premium label. The intelligent cork is different:

  • Premium — invisible and integrated. Nothing printed on your label.
  • Secure — tamper-proof and unique to every single bottle.
  • Dynamic — authentication, storytelling, data and loyalty — not just a webpage.
  • Unskippable — read at the moments that matter: when the bottle is chosen, and when it’s opened.

QR codes are ink. Intelligent corks are trust, connection and sales.

Will it be complicated for my team to implement?

Not at all. Setup is simple, and we handle onboarding, templates and content support with you. If your team can send an email, they can run Corkified.

Who owns the data?

You do. All customer data is yours — full stop. We only use anonymous, aggregated insights to improve performance and reporting.

What if a counterfeiter reuses or copies a cork?

It exposes itself. A genuine cork’s first read happens exactly once and can never be repeated — so a copied or reused cork fails the check at the first honest tap, and you’re alerted to where it surfaced.

Something else on your mind? Write to us at info@corkified.com — we answer everything.

One cork. Two relationships you've never had: your drinker, and your data.

Both, from the moment it's opened.

Hope is not a strategy.
Relationships are.
