Should you collect vintage wines, you happen to be undoubtedly aware that light, heat, humidity and vibration can all aversely affect wines and probably spoil them. This really is why folks have traditionally kept wine in cellars below the home.

Thanks Terre, I didn't know about the Microsoft offering. I will check it out. It is great they are using color because you can embed much more information into a color 2d barcode. There is even the possibility of scanning a color barcode and running a short movie on your phone. Very cool.

Have you checked out Microsoft Tags? I like their looks better than QR and have already placed them on some printed materials. Anyone with an internet-enabled cell phone can take a photo of the tag, which will open a website. http://www.microsoft.com/tag/

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the post about the subject. Actually Cortes de Cima and Quevedo are the 1st ones to use the QR Codes this way around the world. Soon you will have this wines in the USA with the codes on them. Let your readers know that the wine ratings and reviews at adegga.com are in english and other languages like french and spannish.

Cheers,

Mark,

Thanks for your comment. QR codes are really cool technology that I think in a few years we will wonder how we ever managed without them.

I have to say that's really amazing. I didn't know QR codes existed - I have my research cut out for me!

Thanks for this tidbit and for leading the pack on this one here in the US.
