Mobile bar code applications are now spilling into the wine industry. Some wineries, such as JUSTIN Vineyards & Winery in California, are now using 2D bar codes on their labels to inform consumers of their product.
If you aren’t a wine connoisseur, it can be confusing to try and select a nice wine just by looking at the pretty images and stylized text on the label. But now when you need a little help, you can simply scan the code on the label with your smartphone. Instantly you get information, like tasting notes or even a video, from the vintner. With a little added knowledge, you can feel more confident about making a choice.
Besides helping consumers, this technology can also help retailers and distributors. Being able to access information instantly like this can help them sell wine, especially in foreign markets.
