Reasons to invest in wine preservation:Using a wine preservation system means you can offer an extended range of wines by the glass and therefore substantially increase your sales and profit.
The implementation of a ‘wine by the glass’ programme using wine preservation will:-
- Enable you to capitalise on the growing demand for a better range of quality wines to be made available by the glass
- Result in an increase in value of your wine sales by approximately 25% since it is proven that customers are willing to pay more for wine by the glass
- Result in an increase in the volume of your wine sales by at least 10% - once you gain a reputation for offing a great selection of wine by the glass you will attract more wine drinkers
- Significantly reduce any problem of wastage
- Remove the risk of selling wine which may be out of condition
- Enable you to offer premium wines by the glass including Champagne
- Create customer interest and show them that you are serious about wine
- Make you stand apart from the competition
How does wine preservation work?
![]() |
As soon as a bottle is opened the wine remaining in the bottle will be exposed to air and will start to rapidly oxidise and deteriorate rapidly. Typically an opened bottle of wine will only remain fresh for a day or two. By using a wine preservation system you can remove oxygen from the headspace and slow down the oxidation process. By slowing down oxidation and therefore slowing down the deterioration process, an opened bottle of wine can last for anything up to 6 weeks depending on the type of system used. With sparkling wine comes the additional problem of loss of bubbles since the carbon dioxide will escape into the atmosphere. Using a sparkling wine preservation system will help to prevent some of the carbon dioxide bubbles coming out of solution. |
All the systems listed are suitable for commercial use.
Inert gas systems are much better for preserving red wine, especially quality reds.
Sparkling wine may be preserved using PresorVac.
