A simple new commercial wine preserver system called Waiter’s Friend PresorVac™ prolongs the life of opened wines and champagnes, and is taking the On Trade by storm. It’s boosting wine profits and cutting wastage across the UK in pubs, wine bars, clubs, hotels and restaurants.

The new patented system vacuums air out of opened wine bottles, then seals them ready for re-use for anything up to two weeks. In the case of sparkling wines and champagnes, Waiter’s Friend PresorVac pumps air back in to re-pressurise the bottle and keep the contents fizzy and fresh.

Waiter’s Friend PresorVac™ is a state-of-the-art, hand held unit ideal for back bar use, working on a simple re-chargeable battery system. In fact, it’s so easy to operate that bar staff actually enjoy using it and customer’s buying by-the-glass are visually reassured about quality and encouraged to be more adventurous with their wine purchases.

Up until now, the only alternative wine preservation system required an expensive plumbed and wired-in compressor with additional CO2 gas cylinders - the capital cost alone, putting it beyond the reach of many licencees. Waiter’s Friend PresorVac™ at less than £300 including VAT, has broken through the cost barrier to instantly deliver extra wine sales profits for even the smallest café or bar, cutting waste and increasing the range and quality of wines that can be sold by the glass at a stroke.

"Wine-by-the-glass is set to be THE big growth area for 2008”
Clare Young, wine doctor for The Morning Advertiser

“Not only does it boost wine profits at a stroke, but, it also allows consumers to try better wines, a glass at a time. Just make sure you use a good wine preservation system to ensure every glass is served fresh and equally importantly ensure that every member of bar/waiting staff is well trained in wine service and product knowledge. Get that right and you can’t fail.
