Key Takeaways
I love the idea that winemakers can participate in the profit from reselling their wines via digital corks. It’s very similar to painters and other artists who should be able to accrue some of the value in secondary markets like auctions.
Tasting tokens provide some exciting new experiences for winemakers and consumers to connect more deeply.
I enjoyed David’s discussion of other new trends and technologies that will impact the wines we drink in the future.
