Did you know that winemakers have started to accept cryptocurrency as a form of payment for their brands? That’s right - you can buy some authentic fine wines with digital currency!
An example is the 2015 Dark Matter Zinfandel
from the Dark Matter Wines brand (U.S.A.
)
Originating for hundreds of years with old traditions, the wine industry is known to be rather technology-resistant. So seeing it adapting to the crypto world is something unique we are excited to bring to your attention!
Some winemakers see cryptocurrency as an opportunity to expand their brands on a global scale
and believe crypto might be the future of finance.
Yet, many are still sceptical, sharing they see it as a risk, especially for small businesses. Also, for winemakers it is of utmost importance to preserve natural resources
, which makes cryptocurrency less attractive for them, considering it involves the usage of sophisticated processors that require a massive amount of energy

Obviously, there are pros and cons about using cryptocurrencies within the wine industry - so we will keep following the developments!
And what about you - are you thinking of using a cryptocurrency to buy your next bottle of wine, or maybe you have already done so?
