Bermar provides us with the assurance needed to maintain wine quality across a varied selection, while keeping wastage low. With consistent use, we have seen a clear reduction in waste, particularly from bottles that would otherwise have been discarded after limited use. Bermar gives us the confidence to expand our by-the-glass selection, and we do not hesitate if a guest requests a glass from a bottle not originally offered by the glass. This has elevated the overall experience for our guests. As a result, there has been a noticeable uplift in the performance of our wine programme, both in terms of guest satisfaction and revenue.

We have used Bermar systems across our hotel for over 2 years now.

Mallorca, Spain April 2025 Toni Bujosa | F&B Manager

Honestly, we are so happy with our Le Verre de Vin+! The quality of our wine by the glass has improved so much since using the Bermar system. Once opened, wines retain all their organoleptic properties-preserving their aroma, flavour, and texture-so each glass is just as enjoyable as when the bottle was first uncorked.

Scholars Townhouse Hotel

Mark McGowan | Director
Drogheda, Ireland February 2025 Mark McGowan | Director

The Le Verre de Vin+ system has been instrumental in minimising our waste. It ensures that our less frequently ordered wines remain as fresh as when they were first opened, allowing our customers to enjoy a glass of our more premium selections without committing to a full bottle. This has led to an increase in our high-end wine sales and improved our gross profit. We have utilised this system for over a decade without encountering a single fault.

Hatch Mansfield is the UK Agent for Champagne Taittinger, and one of our primary objectives is to have Taittinger available by the glass and served in impeccable condition in a diverse range of hotels, restaurants and premium bars across the country. The essence of the Taittinger family is quality, and they are dedicated to ensuring that every glass of Taittinger served reflects the care, attention and passion that goes into crafting the wine. This key objective would not be achievable without Bermar and their exceptional preservation system. Their user-friendly solutions enable On Trade staff nationwide to serve glass after glass of Champagne Taittinger in pristine condition. In addition, we have the option to brand units with the Champagne Taittinger logo, which significantly enhances our in-store visibility. The team at Bermar is a pleasure to work with. Their service is exemplary, and they consistently go above and beyond to meet our requirements. They install all the units on our behalf and are readily available to assist our customers with any queries. Over the past 10 years, we have partnered with them to install more than 200 units. I only wish I could replicate their excellence. Bermar's service is outstanding and, most importantly, they are genuinely delightful individuals to work with.

Our Bermar preservation system is a great tool that allows us to present 30-35 wines a day in the wine bar. This not only increases our wine sales but also raises our customers' interest in wine. We wouldn't let Bermar go!

We recently introduced a Portable Tower, and the results have been fantastic. Comparing sales month-on-month with the same resort occupancy, we've doubled our wine sales! The system allows us to offer premium wines by the glass, not just the standard house wines. This includes sparkling wines and Champagne, which are preserved perfectly, ensuring those delightful bubbles-and the quality of every glass served to our guests—last until the very last pour, even for up to 3 weeks!

Bermar's wine & Champagne preservation systems are indispensable to our wine service at Mandarin Oriental, Milan.

Since 2017, we've partnered with Bermar to preserve the flavours of our diverse 400-wine selection at the Grand Hotel Kempinski Vilnius. This technology is crucial for ensuring the wines we do open taste excellent and has been integral to our service for six years. Our Bermar system impressively maintains the quality of our opened wine and Champagne bottles for days. It consistently delivers, whether it's a red, white, or Champagne, making each bottle taste as if it was just opened. The system's user-friendly design and elegant display on our countertop sparks customer conversations about wine, prompting customers to continue sampling different wine flavours. The ePreserve technology is essential to our wine journey, and we look forward to continuing this partnership.

London, UK Aug 2023 Dario Barbato | Head of Wine Department

We always aim to offer our customers the best quality food and wines. After installing a Le Verre de Vin+ system in all our 30 restaurants more than a year ago, it's clear that our wine wastage has diminished. Customers can also enjoy our by the glass selection without compromising on quality, even for sparkling wines. This easy-to-use system has reshaped our wine management and encouraged me to offer more wines by the glass. I've never regretted choosing Bermar - a great company with great people, always ready to assist when necessary.

At the Waldorf Astoria Berlin, wine has become an increasingly significant aspect of our hospitality experience, reflecting its growing prominence across the globe.

Notably, the preservation system has also dramatically reduced our spoilage rates, making it an invaluable asset to our establishment.

Hintlesham Golf Club

Tom Evans | General Manager
Suffolk, UK Feb 2023 Tom Evans | General Manager

We were looking to enhance our wine list at the club, especially for our events and weddings. Offering more variety was the key, but we didn’t want multiple open bottles of wine that would potentially be ruined. After speaking with the team at Bermar, we knew the Le Verre de Vin+ system was for us. The team were very knowledgeable and helped us with every step of the journey, from positioning on the bar to operating the system and cleaning. Since installing the system, we have offered every bottle of wine by the glass, which has helped improve our sales and given us a bigger scope to explore new wines to add to our wine menu. I would highly recommend Bermar and the Le Verre de Vin+ system.

Great Scotland Yard Hotel

London, UK Nov 2022 Klearhos Kanellakis | Head Sommelier of Ekstedt

Our Bermar preservation system makes looking after our wine selection incredibly simple. With over 25 wines available by the glass at Great Scotland Yard Hotel, we rely on our Le Verre de Vin to make sure our wines and Champagnes stay fresh and in perfect condition. Knowing that our wines will last without incurring any wastage is not only a relief, it is a necessity that allows our expert staff to experiment and serve a wider variety of premium offerings and experiences.

Oeno House

Luisa Martinello | General Manager
London, UK Aug 2022 Luisa Martinello | General Manager

Without Bermar’s preservation system, Oeno House wouldn’t be able to offer as many wines as we do now, especially sparkling wines, because the wastage would become too huge. The ability to even offer such beautiful Champagnes by the glass is thanks to Bermar. If we open [a bottle] and only serve two glasses, we know that we can seal & preserve it before serving again, which helps us significantly manage our wine wastage. To be able to give our customers that truly unique and magical experience, offering by the glass is fundamental and something we wouldn’t be able to achieve without our Bermar preservation system.

L’Assiette Champenoise

Sébastien Albert | Sommelier
France Nov 2021 Sébastien Albert | Sommelier

At L’Assiette Champenoise, we offer up to 12 Champagnes by the glass each day, and, using our Bermar Preservation System, we’re able to keep our waste below 1%. It’s a fantastic tool for us and allows guests to enjoy incredible wines from our region served in great drinking condition.

Reading, UK Aug 2021 Lucian Obreja | Head Sommelier

The Bermar system has been hugely supportive of our wine by-the-glass programme, allowing us to offer & pair more Champagne options with our beloved dishes. We are eager to see the spend per head increase at the end of the month when we will be able to offer multiple vintages of Château d'Yquem & a variety of other interesting wines to be sampled by-the-glass.

Steirereck

Stadtpark, Austria May 2021 Viktoria Schott | Chef de Rang

Odette

Vincent Tan | Head Sommelier
Singapore Jan 2021 Vincent Tan  |  Head Sommelier

At Odette, we believe very much in creating experiences and opening up possibilities, and Bermar’s Le Verre de Vin system which has been with us since day one has allowed us to do just that; with 5 Champagnes, and up to 20 wines available by the glass at any point of time. Having an effective and reliable preservation system is key to keeping our program sustainable financially and qualitatively, as nothing can be worse than convincing someone to try a brand new wine only to find it past its best.

Nobu Restaurants

Worldwide June 2020 Flavio Carenzi - Group Bar Manager

The Bermar preservation system we have at Nobu is used to reseal the wine and Champagnes we sell by the glass. After 15 years it still works perfectly which demonstrates truly fantastic longevity - not many pieces of equipment last that long in my bars! It's a testament to the incredible reliability of the system and the impressive build quality.

Tawa Restaurant

Owner
Shefford, UK March 2020 Owner

It keeps every single drop of wine and Champagne as fresh as opening a new bottle. Maintenance is very easy and training the staff takes less than 5 minutes. Best of all, almost every customer is wowed by the look of this product. It goes very nicely with our rustic looking bar. I've recommended it to almost all of my fellow restaurateurs.

The Market Cat

Ash Moore (General Manager)
York, UK February 2020 Ash Moore (General Manager)

We introduced the Bermar preservation system in order to help us grow our wine sales and minimise our wastage, it absolutely makes financial sense but more importantly for me as a manager it gives me the peace of mind that all our wines by the glass are served in perfect condition and tasting as well as they could possibly taste. This system and reassurance means that we have expanded our range of wines by the glass and we're able to push for more exotic and interesting wines which means that our clientele keep coming back to us and our list doesn't get stale. We currently sit 4.5% above our sister bars for wine sales and way ahead of our target sales for wine. The minimisation of wastage is a huge factor in me being able to expand our BTG range, I've yet to have any wine go out of condition while it's been open and that alone is a game changer. I would absolutely recommend Bermar to everyone because financially it's a no-brainer but it's enabled me personally to grow my business in the exact way I wanted to.

Romain Bourger - Head Sommelier (UK Sommelier of the Year 2019)
Newbury, Berkshire 2020 Romain Bourger - Head Sommelier (UK Sommelier of the Year 2019)

We wanted more control of the Champagne that we have opened by the glass and a Bermar preservation system already has helped reducing it. We have seen a clear reduction in our waste. Due the Bermar system we now offer Taittinger Comtes de Champagne by the glass which is a great success! I would strongly recommend a Bermar preservation system as it enables restaurants to offer a wider range of sparkling wines by the glass by diminishing wastage.

Margins are now more transparent and the revenue has considerably increased throughout the group, not only by reducing wastage but being able to open more premium wines, as we are sure that they will be properly preserved. The only regret is that we only started a few months ago and not a few years ago!
