A new way of choosing wine in bars and restaurants is emerging, giving consumers more choice and flexibility on which wines to enjoy by dispensing them on a self pour basis by the glass. The benefit of this visionary concept was recently highlighted in an article in the Financial Times. Many wine drinkers are moving away from buying a full bottle, they want to experiment, they want choice, they want perfection in taste and temperature with a smaller measure.
The choice of wine has no limits; you can still offer your favourite house wine up to the best cuvée or grand cru without the worry that the wine may go off when you have opened the bottle. Drinkers will spend serious money on a top notch wine if they can buy it by the glass, where they wouldn't buy a bottle.
This summer, the British by-the-glass wine-bar specialist Vagabond will open its biggest site yet in London’s Soho, offering a wine lounge with self pour facilities. Guests will be able to help themselves to 25ml, 125ml and 175ml pours from dispensers around the room. The trend is not limited to London. In Newcastle, Angel's Share and Say When Gosforth have successfully introduced self-exploring wine walls. Both concepts have been so successful that they are already expanding. Angel's Share is adding another 16 wines and exploring a second location, while Say When is opening a second venue in Ponteland.
This truly game changing concept is available through Netherlands based company 'by the glass' - wine dispensing and preservation systems - helping sell more wine - The World's Best Wine Entertainment.
