Bringing your wine experience from here…

…to here with the highest level of quality

“…Just a quick note to say how delighted we are with Le Verre de Vin Systems! As you know, we have been using Le Verre de Vin in our Barbaresco winery for nearly ten years now, and in that time we have trusted Le Verre de Vin technology to look after the open bottles in our tasting room, safe in the knowledge that each and every pour is going to be as fresh as the first. In fact, we were so impressed with Le Verre de Vin, that we decided to invest in another system for our winery. We know that there are other commercial preservation systems on the market but choose Le Verre de Vin because it does the best job for our business and our wines…many thanks.” With our kindest regards, Gaia Gaja

At Bermar America we proudly elevate the premium wine-by-the-glass experience for people around the world by working in partnership with the leading hoteliers, restaurateurs, operators and home users for whom our systems play a pivotal role in the service and experience of their wine by the glass. We are committed to empower people to serve wine as the wine makers intended, hand poured with craft, fresh from the bottle and with the highest level of integrity.

We do this through a service we call ‘Perfect Serve’. This guarantees the best possible experience for the guest, eliminates expensive and unnecessary waste, and maximizes profits with promoting upper tier wine sales. We make this possible with the world’s leading range of still wine and Champagne preservation systems, Le Verre de Vin systems, and wine ‘by the glass’ Pod Bar Cabinets. Our unique systems give you 21 days preservation on any number of part opened bottles of still wine & Champagne!

The still wine or ‘single’ system preserves an unlimited number of opened bottles of still and fortified wine keeping the contents in prime drinking condition for up to 21 days. Each system takes just 2 to 5 seconds (depending upon the amount of wine remaining) during which time a precisely controlled vacuum level seal is created within the bottle. Control of the vacuum level is essential to ensure that the maximum period of preservation is achieved without any damage to the subtle structure of the wine.

The still wine and Champagne or ‘dual’ system preserves an unlimited number of opened bottles of still wine, sparkling wine and Champagne keeping the contents in prime drinking condition for up to 21 days. Still wines are preserved in the same way as the ‘single’ system by creating a precisely controlled vacuum. Sparkling wines and Champagnes are uniquely preserved by the introduction of a calibrated infusion of carbon dioxide. Each use of the system takes between 2 to 5 seconds, creating a precise pressure equilibrium within the bottle, thereby ensuring the natural fizz remains ‘locked’ into the wine, giving the guaranteed POP of freshness with every pour.

“Le Verre de Vin is the best sparkling wine preservation in the business that's for sure!” - Nick Daddona, Wine Director at Boston Harbor Mertitage Restaurant

Shape your service to satisfy the more wine savvy guest! It’s about Perfect Serve

The great advantage and purpose of Perfect Serve is to add value to the guest experience. Perfect Serve embodies the true craft of a great wine-by-the-glass service, driven by the focus on the guest. The key steps are to present the wine, hand poured, fresh from the bottle in a manner and quality that maximizes the guests experience; invoking all the positive feelings and engagement of the senses that a wine enthusiast expects. There are already so many delicate variables with wine that are expected and enjoyed (which is exactly one of wine’s appeals), which is why you must work especially hard to remove any doubts about the integrity of service.

Elevated levels of service will maximize the value / appeal of the experience therefore stimulating sales and encouraging more profitable ‘trade up’ sales for both still wines and Champagnes. ‘Perfect Serve’ is comparatively economical to implement making it a ‘Sure thing’, and hard to ignore for anyone passionate about their guests’ wine experience.

Low quality service will mask the value/ appeal, and invoke a feeling of doubt in a guest, therefore lowering the quality/value of the guest experience.

Le Verre de Vin & Perfect Serve are the only system that complements a skilled operator, enabling him to deliver his goals consistently, while other types of gadgets and devices such as bulky fixed bottle dispense systems create a literal “bottle neck’ to service and doubt in service integrity downgrading perceived service standards to low value soda/pop dispense experience.

Perfect Serve– Hand Poured with craft, fresh from the bottle, just as the wine maker intended. Steps to adding value to the wine experience: • Present the bottle with the label showing for the guest to review • Offer a taste • Once accepted pour into glass or measured carafe Tools needed to add value and help deliver the best wine experience: • Le Verre de Vin wine & Champagne preservation system with stoppers • Appropriate premium stemware – enough swirl room for wine to develop • Refrigeration to control serving temperature for both white (40-45’) & red wine ( 60 – 64’)

Fixed bottle dispense service

Perfect Serve

Distinct from Dispense

We specialize in the Perfect Serve ,where every guest is guaranteed a great wine experience, regardless of when you opened the bottle! Just as food deteriorates in contact with air, so does wine.

The Le Verre de Vin systems perfectly preserve and allow you to serve still and sparkling wines for up to 21 days, guaranteeing freshness every time!
