AVIN (a unique 13 digit number, which acts like an ISBN for books, but is used for tracking wine) has been gaining impressive momentum and is currently printed on over 20 million bottles worldwide. See one of the codes in action here. Originally a side-effort from Adegga (social wine discovery) to keep track of all wines in their database, AVIN is now an independent project with it’s own Board of Advisors.

The list of producers includes more than 10 brands, including from countries like Spain, France and Greece. Some portuguese and english wine catalogs and websites also adopted the standard, and in Portugal a whole wine region (Região Tejo) was the first worldwide to adopt the AVIN code for their wines.
