# Introduction

## About

The Superwine platform is a bold and creative initiative that could transform the global wine industry. The wine market is notoriously opaque, often making it difficult for consumers to understand the origin and quality of wine. In addition, the problem of counterfeit wine is a significant one in the premium spirits market. That is why the Superwine platform uses blockchain technology (DLT) to create a more transparent and trusted ecosystem.

## Transparency and Trust

Wineries can track the movement of their wines through the supply chain, and consumers can check the authenticity of their wines using NFTs. The fragmented wine sector also provides a platform for different business actors to collaborate and innovate.

## Use of new technologies

It's important to note that the multi-billion dollar wine market (currently worth over $441.60 billion) is slow to embrace new technologies such as blockchain. The Superwine platform offers the opportunity to create new business models where wineries can sell their wines as NFTs and consumers can invest in wineries or their projects.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://superwine-1.gitbook.io/superwine-whitepaper/overview/quickstart.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
