Kodak Helps Napa Valley Wineries Fight Wine Fraud

Ann Colgin, owner of Colgin Cellars, recognized the value that Kodak’s solution could deliver in protecting her premium vintages, which sell at auction for hundreds of dollars a bottle. “While Colgin Cellars has not experienced any problems with counterfeit wine, the issue has concerned me for some time. As a vintner and an auctioneer, I felt it was necessary to take a stand and ensure my customers a guarantee of authenticity,” said Colgin. “Kodak worked closely with me to quickly develop and implement a solution that met my demanding production schedule. Within 45 days, Kodak evaluated solution options, conducted a pilot test, delivered a proposal, and implemented a solution that protects Colgin Cellars products.”
