First Growth
In 2006 Blankiet became a forerunner in the fight against wine counterfeiting. The unspoken scourge of the wine world ballooned with China's increasing demand for wine. In order to provide their customers the ability to authenticate their wines, Blankiet teamed up with Prooftag, a French company that designed a unique Bubble tagTM security device. Microscopic bubbles are imbedded randomly in silver film strip applied to the neck of the bottles, providing a unique fingerprint to each bottle. This technology has since become the standard among Bordeaux and Burgundy First Growth producers.
