In Cinemas (and Cellars) This Halloween

The night draws in and flickering shadows emerge across the bar. A cork pops. A cap hisses. The first glass is poured. The clock starts ticking. Invisible but ever-present oxygen waits in the wings; unseen, patient, and always ready to dull the flavour and vibrancy of an unprotected bottle.

For guests, every glass is an experience to savour. For hospitality operators, it’s a careful balance;  delivering that same quality, consistency, and freshness with every pour.

This Halloween, Bermar presents UNSEALED; a chilling yet all-too-real story about the unseen threat haunting open bottles, and the preservation heroes that keep the freshness alive.

Cast & Crew

Starring: Le Verre de Vin+, PODBAR+, and ePreserve
Directed by: Bermar
Produced by: 30 years of wine & Champagne preservation mastery
Genre: Horror / Professional Hospitality / Fine Wine

 

Synopsis

Every venue that serves wine or Champagne by the glass faces the same lurking threat; the moment a bottle is opened, the villain enters the scene… Silent, subtle, and always waiting for its chance. Oxygen can slip into open bottles and begin its slow work, muting aromas, softening flavours, and dulling the brightness that once made every glass stand out.

Left unchecked, this quiet saboteur can turn a premium product into wasted stock; a gradual decline that affects not only taste but also profits and your bottom line. Over time, even a few lost bottles can add up to significant cost and missed opportunity.

That’s where Bermar’s preservation systems change the story. Designed and engineered in the UK, each system plays a vital role in keeping the villain at bay. Whether still or sparkling, our innovative ePreserve technology prevents oxidation by resealing all your opened bottles in seconds, protecting the same freshness, aroma, and character the winemaker intended.

The result? Venues can serve more wines by the glass with complete confidence. Guests enjoy perfect pours every time. Waste is reduced, margins are protected, and the experience stays consistently exceptional.

Because the real horror story isn’t in the cellar… it’s in the profits lost to spoiled bottles.

 

Meet the Cast

Le Verre de Vin+

The original icon of wine and Champagne preservation. 

For over three decades, our Le Verre de Vin+ range has protected open bottles of still and sparkling wine in thousands of bars, restaurants, and hotels across the world. 

With incredibly precise technology, it removes oxygen from still wines and adds a gentle blanket of CO₂ to sparkling wines – extending their life for up to 21 days. The result? Total freedom for venues to offer premium wines and Champagnes by the glass, confident that every pour will taste as fresh as the first.

PODBAR+

The modern-day showstopper.

Combining precise preservation with temperature-controlled refrigeration, PODBAR+ transforms bars into showcases of elegance and efficiency.

Each unit keeps bottles perfectly chilled, beautifully displayed, and freshly sealed, always ready for service. For venues where design and precision share the spotlight, PODBAR+ delivers consistency that deserves the applause.

ePreserve

The real star of the show.

At the core of every Bermar system is our patented ePreserve chip, created for fast-paced venues where time matters most. It reseals any bottle of still or sparkling wine in just 1–5 seconds.

It’s fast, intuitive, and built to perform under pressure.

For bars and restaurants looking to speed up service without sacrificing quality, ePreserve delivers a preservation performance worthy of any blockbuster.

 

Why Venues Love the UNSEALED Cast

Bermar’s systems give operators three essential advantages:

• Confidence in quality: each glass reflects the winemaker’s craftsmanship in full, from the first serving to the very last.
• Reduced waste: fewer spoiled bottles means healthier margins and happier teams.
• Freedom to explore: venues can expand their by the gass lists, offering guests more choice and better experiences.

It’s not just technology. It’s a smarter way to run a profitable, sustainable wine service.
