Remy Martin thinks an NFC bottle cap is the key to authentic cognac

We hope you like your cognac "connected". Remy Martin's wants to give its drinkers with "rewards beyond only its dense rich flavors." That apparently corresponds to an NFC tag built into each bottle to ensure it's authenticity, freshness.. and that it hasn't been swapped out for some other brandy muck. A tamperproof tag in the cap will broadcast whether it's been opened or not, but only if you've installed the app, you big cognac nerd.
