Wine Industry Report

The Waiter‚s Friend Company has launched PresorvacTM - a rechargeable, hand-held vacuum and pressure saver system.

PresorvacTM is designed to preserve open Champagne and wine for up to 14 days at its respective optimum pressure or vacuum level without adding anything to the liquid. PresorvacTM takes only a few seconds to seal each bottle and can be used up to 85 times before needing to be recharged in its base unit.

“Selling wine by the glass is potentially a highly profitable exercise, particularly for fine wines and premium brands. Businesses are reticent to do so, however, as it can result in a high level of wastage unless a considerable capital investment is made into one of the fixed preservation units available on the market,” says Paul Fenner of The Waiter’s Friend Company. “At £145, PresorvacTM offers the industry a cost-effective solution. It is a fraction of the price of other wine saver systems, and its size and simplicity of use mean staff training, installation, bar redesign and a separate gas supply are not necessary.”

PresorvacTM is available from The Waiter’s Friend Company (tel 01483 560 695 www.waitersfriend.com) priced at £145, and can be custom branded using The Waiter’s Friend Company’s new colour-matching POS service.

Set up eleven years ago by Paul and Rosemary Fenner, The Waiter’s Friend Company has established itself as a master of the art of wine accessories and brand promotion for the UK’s wine trade.
