WineEmotion’s new five-bottle dispenser helps bars profit from fine wine
WineEmotion UK has launched a new fine wine dispenser, the five-bottle Cinque. A compact unit, the Cinque is ideal for wine bars, hotels and restaurants wanting to offer a range of fine wines by the glass. Not only does it deliver a precise, controlled measure, it also keeps open bottles of wine in perfect condition for up to 30 days, with no possibility of wine spoilage, oxidisation or cross contamination.
The Cinque combines proprietary technology and Italian elegance, creating an eye-catching display while maximising the profitability of fine wine by the glass.
“Increasingly discerning consumers want to enjoy fine wines, and are happy to pay the premium, but don’t necessarily want to buy a whole bottle,” says Dan Lovell, managing director of WineEmotion UK. “Likewise, operators don’t want to open a bottle of fine wine and only sell one glass from it. The Cinque provides the solution, in a stylish cabinet that will promote sales.”
The Cinque has a variety of design features and options to create a strong visual impact, while complimenting the site’s décor. The glass front is equipped with a colour LED light system that can be adjusted, for example to suit the time of day or the occasion. It can even be linked to external systems to co-ordinate lighting effects. The unit is manufactured in high-grade stainless steel with a range of colours available, including special finishes such as Corten weathered steel. The unit can also be manufactured to incorporate a variety of graphics or logos.
Keeping the wine in the best possible condition over an extended period is achieved by the Isol Plus dispense system, which isolates each bottle and uses a safe, inert gas to prevent oxidisation. The Cinque is available in either an ambient or a refrigerated version, which features a sophisticated controller that maintains the preferred temperature, with a range from 7 to 18°C.
A key benefit of serving fine wine by the glass is its profitability – but that can go down the drain if staff are over generous with measures. The Cinque dispenses a choice of three different measures, each precisely controlled, at the touch of a button eliminating the risk of wine wastage.
Each WineEmotion UK system offers a variety of technologies to protect and enhance management of the fine wine service, including self-service chip cards and software to monitor and manage the system. Optional extras include biometric fingerprint identification and currently under development is the WineEmotion App, to further enhance the consumer’s wine tasting experience.
List prices for the Cinque wine dispenser start from £3750+VAT. For more information visit www.wineemotionuk.com or call +44 (0)1635 282230.
