It's the era of smart. Smart watches, smart light bulbs and smart cities. Connected devices and the whole Internet of Things (IoT) which is expected to reach $7.1 trillion in 2020 according to IDC.

hmm, i think consumers would prefer additional volume for the equivalent additional cost than the smart tags...

but, kidding aside, i'm sure there are people who will appreciate this. Those that take liquor seriously... collectors of wines and other aged drinks. and of course lawmakers, as it makes smuggling a tad more difficult.

Man, the news-bot messed up the name. Johnnie Walker, not Johnny Walker C'mon, man!

I'm pretty confused about this. I didn't know there was a black market for counterfeit alcohol. How does that even work? Somebody opens a $200 bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue Label and re-fills it with $20 Jim Beam?
