Protecting the wine value chain through Blockchain

Abstract

The project consists of the applicability of blockchain in the relationship between wineries and certifying entities, with the ultimate goal of their relationship with the competent authority. The project, named Localvino 2, has studied the capacity of blockchain to automate the certification of wine products based on the general regulations determined by the European Union and the particular ones of each denomination of origin (DO) included in their specifications. Specifically, the research has focused on wines from a qualified estate, wines with high added value and with the highest recognition granted by the official bodies of Catalonia, with the aim of extrapolating the results obtained to all the wines produced under the protection of the denominations of origin.
