Once someone removes the seal from Louis XIII Smart Decanter, clients will simply have to tap and scan their NFC-enabled smartphones on the cork stopper to access the Louis XIII Society, a private members club for owners of Louis XIII Cognac decanters.
The decanter number will then be automatically registered, and clients will be able to benefit from bespoke services such as customized decanter engraving, pre-releases of limited editions, contact with a Louis XIII Personal Advisor for private tastings and ultimate experiences, and an invitation to network with Louis XIII Cognac connoisseurs registered all over the world. In addition, the Louis XIII Smart Decanter will bring added services to clients allowing them to customize gifting messages that will appear when recipients scan their decanter.
The innovation will be available worldwide beginning in February.
NFC enables simple, rapid, intuitive and secure communication between two electronic objects. A mature and robust technology which has been growing in the past 20 years being used mainly by bank cards, biometric passports and travel tickets – until now. Today, with the introduction of contactless payment, connected wearables and the Internet of Things, NFC technology is reinventing the way we experience life.
