The Fermented Beverage Production Code
(FBPC)
Unlock the full story behind every beverage.
FBPC is a universal system that captures origin, ingredients, methods, and milestones. We
empower producers to share their craft, explore, compare, and truly
appreciate what’s in the bottle. Whether it's Wine, Beer, Liquor, or any other beverage that is fermented, we plan to support it.
What’s Inside an FBPC Code?
Region
ISO-based traceability down to State/Province, and in some cases even down to AVA/PDO regions [US-CA-NAPA]
Varietal & Vintage
Grape type + harvest year[WI-PINNO2021]
Milestones
Fermentation, ingredient addition, aging & bottling with dates & durations[AGE_OAK241229(4m)]

🔍 Reading the FBPC Code
Your FBPC code is generated automatically as you enter your batch details, whether you log steps in real time, fill everything in at the end, or even back-date older batches. Simply record the milestones that matter to you and our flexible generator will do the rest. Print and attach the code (with QR tag) to each bottle so a quick scan always recalls exactly how the product was made. It truly is that easy!
