DNA fingerprinting has been developed for their bottles of super plonk, so no need to worry about those nasty counterfeiters anymore. The Australian wine company, BRL Hardy, unveiled a world-first security seal, which uses DNA coding to authenticate its wine. DNA from the company's 125-year-old vines in south Australia is impregnated into light-reflective ink and applied to a tamperproof neck label that will seal the bottle. Electronic scanners can pick up the DNA in the ink and the ink itself can be tested for the presence of the vine's DNA.
