A Japanese company has developed a temperature and humidity sensor for the safe delivery of expensive wine.

Manufactured by NGK Insulators. Special sensors are attached to the bottles during the bottling stage. During transportation, they transmit all the necessary information to a smartphone or computer.
The sensors themselves are like small stickers.They are powered by tiny NGK EnerCera lithium-ion batteries. These batteries are interesting in their own right: they are flexible thin plates that can be attached to uneven surfaces.
All this will allow manufacturers of expensive European wines to monitor the conditions in which drinks are transported.
