To keep lovers of Premium Sake in cheerful spirits, a NTT-led consortium is working on a pilot program to tag sake bottles with RFID tags with built-in temperature sensors. Thus the guys at the base station can monitor which bottles are at risk. They can also know about tampering and break-in cases. When the bottles arrive at the stores, the RFID reader lets customers check the bottle's temp history, making sure the bottle has been kept fresh from factory to shop.
If this pilot program works successfully, other Spirit-makers may also begin using RFID to ensure quality produce.
