Customers loved it and volumes increased, not just by the glass but also on takeaway sales, our sales of Champagne have increased by over 30% in the past 12 months.

“RetailersThe increasing popularity of the ‘try before you buy’ concept is testament to the inquisitive nature of today’s wine consumer.

When customers are able to sample wines in store, particularly those higher up the quality and price scale, they are more likely to purchase a premium option than if they were buying the wine blind.

The key to successfully introducing new and premium wines to consumers is to allow them a taste

before they purchase. Given the confidence boost of a taste, consumers are proven to be more likely to ‘trade up’.

Unlike other commercial wine preservation products, Le Verre de Vin systems allow wines to be poured in front of customers from the original bottles… the Perfect Serve. This also allows the customer to engage with the bottle, read the label and get a genuine tasting experience.

By allocating Le Verre de Vin to an on-premise account, I can confidently predict an increase in sales of at least 20% and sometimes much, much more due to the increase in volume and the increase in spend-per-head.

Chris CooperManaging Director at Arora Hotels, UK

Case Study

Arora Hotels operate in the 4 and 5 star hotel market with discerning, well travelled customers who have high standards when it comes to all aspects of beverage service.

On their recent investment in Le Verre de Vin, Chris commented: “For us, preserving still wines and Champagne is extremely important because we can make our wine list more interesting by increasing the range of wines available by the glass. This allows us to offer wine pairings with dinners, wine flights across different grape varieties and it means we can have more of a ‘conversation’ about wine with our customers. The Le Verre de Vin system puts the customer in control of getting the wine they want without having to buy a whole bottle.

We’ve recently launched a new Champagne bar at the Sofitel London Heathrow and we simply would not be able to offer such a wide range of vintage and rosé Champagnes by the glass without a Le Verre de Vin system.

Payback on our investment has been rapid at approximately 6 months and, to be clear, the margin growth we’ve experienced has not come from increasing our prices, it has come from spend growth. By offering our customers a wider range of higher quality wines and Champagnes by the glass they are willingly trading up and spending more.

We are delighted that we made the decision to invest in Le Verre de Vin systems.”

“ “As the newcomer to the Le Verre de Vin product family, the Tower incorporates our proven, award-winning Le Verre de Vin still and sparkling wine preservation technology. It is available in Le Verre de Vin’s three preservation technology options: still wine only, sparkling only and Dual – offering both still and sparkling wine preservation.

operation; wall mounted, bar mounted or fixed to an existing wine service station.

With clean lines, a sleek embossed badge and illuminated nozzles mounted in a satin black housing, the Tower will complement any and every bar design.

Carl Heinz HabelGeneral Manager, Nobu at One&Only, South Africa

Case Study

Carl first experienced Le Verre de Vin back in 2006, when he worked as a Restaurant Manager at The Cape Grace Hotel. The Sommelier there at the time, Chris Westin, implemented an extensive wine by the glass offering, which was then a leading edge concept in South Africa. Realising that he needed a wine preservation system to be able to make this offer viable, a Le Verre de Vin system was installed. Once it was in place, Carl saw wine by the glass sales increase by nearly 400%.

Moving on to the Showroom Restaurant as Manager and Sommelier, Carl was instrumental in offering 35 wines by the glass – again this was driven by the versatility of the Le Verre de Vin system in keeping wines fresh. Carl’s next move took him to the Planet Restaurant at the Mount Nelson where, again, he had 2 Le Verre de Vin systems.

Now at Nobu, situated in the incredible One&Only Hotel on Cape Town’s glittering Waterfront, Carl again turned to Le Verre de Vin to support his extensive still and sparkling wine by the glass programme. Commenting, Carl noted that: “it’s about the guests’ experience – Le Verre de Vin allows you to offer a varied wine experience – this arena is fiercely competitive and Le Verre de Vin gives you an edge. It’s about creating memories – that’s why people come back!”

It is available in Le Verre de Vin’s three preservation technology options: still wine only, sparkling only and Dual – offering both still wine and sparkling preservation.

The Portable Tower’s flexible nature makes it the Le Verre de Vin system of choice in an unlimited range of temporary and permanent applications – the perfect

Rupert BagnallOperations Director, Wadworth & Co, UK

Case Study

“As the economic situation continues to result in our customers being more and more discerning, first and foremost visiting pubs, bars and restaurants where they can rely on consistent quality, we are compelled to make sure that the best products are always available to them. It is a pleasure to be able to stock a minimum of 10 wines by the glass in all of our pubs, still and sparkling, safe in the knowledge that single serve measures will be as fresh as if ordering and opening a new bottle.

I personally believe that the introduction of Le Verre de Vin is the key reason for the year on year increase that we have shown in wines sales in our managed houses and I cannot imagine not having it in every one of our pubs. Knowing that an open bottle of wine is really only drinkable for a maximum of 3 days, the same as cask beer, whereas with Le Verre de Vin it can last 21 days, makes all the difference.

Bearing in mind the money we as an industry spend on cellar cooling and dispense equipment to help preserve the quality of our beers and soft drinks, why are we so reluctant to invest in such a brilliant system for wine? To those people saying ‘I can’t afford it’, if you take wine seriously and want to sell it by the glass, I would suggest that you cannot afford not to have it. I have no hesitation in using someone else’s quote, as it says everything – ‘Le Verre De Vin is the World’s most ingenious wine preservation system’.”

32 33

CompactFor those with limited space available in their existing bar or restaurant configuration, the Le Verre de Vin Compact is a perfect solution. Discreet and easy to fit retrospectively, it is little wonder that the Compact model has become so popular across the globe.

Le Verre de Vin is compact, easy to use and most importantly it works flawlessly. I would have no hesitation in recommending the system to anybody.

“ “The Compact system offers a discreet under-bar solution, saving valuable space in any bar design.

Available in a contemporary black finish with an embossed logo and illuminated nozzles which guide you through the preservation process.

As part of our Le Verre de Vin product family, the Compact incorporates our proven, award-winning Le Verre de Vin still wine and Champagne preservation

technology. It is available in Le Verre de Vin’s three preservation technology options: still wine only, sparkling only and Dual – offering both still wine and sparkling preservation.

The Le Verre de Vin Compact is an ideal option for fitting retrospectively into an existing bar layout and our customers love the flexibility offered by this sleek, contemporary model.

Gaia GajaOwner, Gaja, Italy

Case Study

Few wineries evoke excellence and artistry the way the Gaja family name does. Gaja is one of Italy’s outstanding and most influential wine producers and is widely credited with transforming not just the image and international reputation of its native Piedmont region, but of Italy as a whole.

Gaia Gaja is the fifth generation of her family to work in the business and oversaw the investment in Le Verre de Vin systems for the producer’s cellar door and tasting rooms.

“We are delighted with our Le Verre de Vin systems! We have been using Le Verre de Vin in our Barbaresco winery for several 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, we decided to invest in another system for our winery. We know that there are other commercial preservation systems on the market but we chose Le Verre de Vin because it does the best job for our business and our wines.”

Case Study

Providing a sophisticated twist on the classic neighbourhood tavern, Red Cow celebrates finely crafted eats and drinks with a focus on gourmet burgers, craft beers and fine wine. With multiple locations across Minneapolis, Red Cow employ a full-time Mixologist, Sommelier and Cicerone to curate their impressive drinks offer. Le Verre de Vin operates at the heart of this growing brand’s wine and sparkling by the glass offer.

Luke Shimp, founder of Red Cow commented; “We’d been using a previous preservation system and were having a little bit of discomfort with it, so we first spoke to Bermar Collection back in 2015. In 2016 we bought our first system and through 2017 we retrofitted Pod Bars into all of our outlets.

The Pod Bars are remarkable; the usability is great and the preservation is so much more proficient than other systems out there. I love how simple the systems are to use, coupled with great temperature control in the Pod Bars. It allows us to educate our guests about wine rather than just stuffing our knowledge down their throat. We serve our reds between 58 & 62 degrees Fahrenheit, crisp whites down to 38 and Chardonnays at 45. Each restaurant has the right wines in the right Pod at the right temperature.”

“It’s been really fun to have Le Verre de Vin systems for our sparkling wine sales too… Now we have a perfectly preserved Champagne and sparkling programme; we pour a Cava, a Prosecco and an unfiltered Prosecco alongside premium and super premium Champagnes by the glass. We get 21 days of preservation for all these wines so we’re confident opening any bottle for any customer any time of day! A perfectly preserved glass of sparkling wine, served at the right temperature from a beautiful display cabinet… to me this shows that we’re really serious about our wine programme.”
