Abstract: A computer-implemented method for managing/monitoring production of agricultural raw materials useful for the production of alcoholic beverages, as well as the production, storage, ageing, consumption, quality, authenticity, traceability and/or selling price of alcoholic beverages comprises: (a) collecting two samples of the alcoholic beverage in an inert container sealed with an inert stopper; (b) assigning data on the alcoholic beverage to each sample; (c) storing at least some of the samples collected in step (a), under specified conditions; (d) analysing each sample to determine at least one mineral profile, preferably metallic; (e) forming a database relating to the samples and resulting from step (b) and step (d); (h) processing these data by statistical analysis, preferably using AI; and (i) using the processed data to manage/monitor the entire supply chain of the alcoholic beverage until its consumption. A device for implementing steps (a) and (c) of the method is also provided.
