NFTs Enter the Wine and Spirits Marketplace
The new “flex” is no longer a Birkin or an expensive luxury car. It takes the form of digital assets, which usually feature cartoonish depictions of animals. A Non-Fungible Token (NFT) is a non-interchangeable unit of data recorded on a digital ledger based on blockchain technology. An NFT can represent any digitisable item - products like photos, digital art, movies, and audio recordings have all been sold as an NFT.
Last year, it was estimated the NFT market had generated over $23 billion in trading volume, which means the market is no longer considered niche – it’s certainly mainstream. NFTs are now seen as a marketing opportunity; first we saw the high-end consumer brands like Dolce & Gabbana capitalise on the commercial opportunities, and then bigger household names like Taco Bell and Coca-Cola started to dip their toes in this relatively new market. Now, are we ready to welcome spirits and wine into the Ethereum phenomenon?
