Wine & spirits authentication, sealed in the cap.
Break the seal, and the digital state flips to VOID.
Tamper-evident NFC authentication for bottles — flag counterfeits and grey-market diversion, and prove provenance from the line to the last pour.
A label can be copied. A seal can be refilled.
The bottle outlives the spirit
An authentic empty is refilled with inferior product and resold at full price. The glass, label, and closure all check out — the contents do not.
A label proves nothing
A printed label or QR code can be photographed and reproduced at scale. A copy scans as "valid," so the consumer has no way to tell real from fake.
Stock crosses borders
Allocated bottles leak into unauthorized markets, eroding pricing and brand control. Without unit-level identity, the leak point stays invisible.
The seal becomes the proof.
Aeroz bonds an NFC tag into the cap or neck whose digital state flips to VOID the moment the seal is broken. Each bottle carries its own chip identity, on chips designed to be clone-resistant.
Optional cold-chain and thermal logging travels with the bottle for sensitive product. And the consumer taps to verify provenance with a phone — no app to download.

A brand preparing national retail.
A better-for-you beverage brand heading into national retail expansion piloted unit-level tags on the bottle: tamper-evident seal that voids on opening, a consumer tap that proves the bottle is genuine, and first-scan geography showing which launch markets the product actually surfaced in — channel intelligence the distributor reports never give them.
