1. An electronic authentication device for a bottle for which the neck is closed off by a stopper covered with a long and narrow capsule, said device designed to be placed between said bottle and said capsule, said electronic authentication device comprising:
- an electronic circuit with a flexible insulating support on which there is at least one conducting wire in the longitudinal direction without overlapping, forming tracks of said electronic circuit,said electronic circuit also including each ofan electronic chip storing identification data containing at least one piece of information related to the content of said bottle,an antenna configured to cooperate with said chip for contactless transmission of at least one item of identification data to an external reader, for example when said antenna is within the coverage range of said reader, andpierced stopper detector at least partially covering said neck when said device is positioned between said bottle and said capsule, and electrically connected to said electronic chip through the tracks of said circuit, said electronic chip being configured so as to determine that the stopper has been pierced or removed when the electrical connection with the pierced stopper detector is broken,wherein the pierced stopper detector include a grid of at least one conducting wire forming the tracks of the grid, the tracks of the grid and the tracks of the circuit are being formed of said at least one conducting wire, andwherein;
the spacing between tracks of the grid is equal to a separation distance approximately of the order of 50 μ
m to 300 μ
m,the width of each track of said grid is approximately of the order of 50 μ
m to 300 μ

Abstract
An electronic device for authentication of a bottle whose neck is closed by a stopper covered by a cap is positioned between the bottle and the cap, with an electronic circuit including: a flexible insulating support with at least one conducting wire forming circuit traces; an electronic chip storing identification datum for the bottle, an antenna to transmit the identification datum to an external reader when the antenna is in the area of coverage of the reader; a unit for detecting piercing of stopper at least partially covering the neck when the device is positioned between the bottle and the cap, and which are linked electrically to the electronic chip by the tracks of the circuit, the electronic chip being configured in such a way as to determine that the stopper is removed and/or pierced when the electrical link with the unit of detecting piercing of stopper is broken.

16. A method of manufacturing a bottle, the neck of which is closed by a stopper covered by a capsule, wherein in general it is composed of the following steps:
-
a first step of placing an electronic authentication device around the neck of the bottle, where the electronic authentication device includes an electronic circuit with a flexible insulating support on which there is at least one conducting wire in the longitudinal direction without overlapping, forming tracks of said electronic circuit, said electronic circuit also including each of an electronic chip storing identification data containing at least one piece of information related to the content of said bottle, an antenna configured to cooperate with said chip for contactless transmission of at least one item of identification data to an external reader, for example when said antenna is within the coverage range of said reader, and a pierced stopper detector at least partially covering said neck when said device is positioned between said bottle and said capsule, and electrically connected to said electronic chip through the tracks of said circuit, said electronic chip being configured so as to determine that the stopper has been pierced or removed when the electrical connection with the pierced stopper detector is broken, the pierced stopper detector including a grid of at least one conducting wire forming the tracks of the grid, the tracks of the grid and the tracks of the circuit are being formed of said at least one conducting wire, and where; the spacing between tracks of the grid is equal to a separation distance approximately of the order of 50 μ
