Cardano puts Georgian wine on-chain to fight counterfeit bottles
- —Over 30 Georgian wineries use Cardano-based verification
- —More than 100,000 bottles are traceable via QR code
- —Open-source reference implementation OriginateNavio released in August 2026
- —Counterfeiting costs European producers an estimated €2.8 billion a year
Why it matters: The case shows real-world blockchain use beyond finance, though scale remains local and depends on shoppers actually scanning codes.
