Today, wine shipment analysis and monitoring firm eProvenance and IBM jointly announced the launch of eProvenance’s blockchain platform, VinAssure.

VinAssure leverages IBM’s Blockchain Transparent Supply, which uses various technologies, such as AI, blockchain, and the cloud. It’s underpinned by the same technology used in IBM Food Trust but with a separate ecosystem of users, and the network has its own governance.
