The Challenge.

Egon Müller Scharzhofberger, crowned European winegrower of the year 2023, crafts wines that are savored across the globe. With such international acclaim, the challenge of protecting their high-value wines from product piracy and fraud became more pressing.

This widespread problem of product piracy called for a robust, innovative solution to secure the integrity of their wines wherever they traveled.

This meticulous attention to detail in the application process ensured that each bottle of Egon Müller's wine was equipped with the highest level of protection against piracy and fraud, from the moment of bottling to the point of consumer purchase.
