Top Sales for the Thames Wine Bar

In the last few months wine sales at the Thames Bar have shot up by an incredible 116%. Asher Svirsky, food & beverage manager, attributes the increase to a series of improvements introduced by Waverley, including re-designing the bar to incorporate the Rolls royce of wine preservers Le Verre de Vin.

Le Verre de Vin system preserves Champagne, still and sparkling wines for up to 21 days after the cork has been removed. It eliminates wastage and ensures that the range of wines-by-the-glass on offer is always served in prime condition, Since installing Le Verre de Vin system in September 1997 red wine sales have increased by 92%, white wines by 71% and champagne by 100%. lSeptember 1998

Wines of the World

Dear Dick,

Thank you for your recent letter of congratulations on the launch of Wines of the World. You will be happy to know that during the initial 4 months of the program 60,000 glasses of wine were sold. And all of them owe their quality and freshness to Le Verre de Vin. We realised early on that to execute a wine by the glass program with upscale wine, maintenance of the wine quality would be a primary objective. That is why we mandated your equipment as part of the program.

When we reviewed the wine preservation equipment that was on the market we found a number of our hotels had been using Le Verre de Vin for some time and with no problems. That, combined with the ability of your preservation system to eliminate waste and insure profitability, was the reason we mandated your product for use throughout our European Division. To date I delieve we have only had one minor problem with a carbon dioxide regulator which was quickly rectified. We will soon be implementing wines of the World in our 2 Russian hotels and have no reservations on the use of your system there. Apparently our Africa, Middle East Division feels the same, having ordered 11 units for Addis Ababa.

Thanks again for your continued support and I look forward to taking you up on your offer to share the expertise you have gleaned from your experience with wine by the glass.

Best Regards,

The Best System Ever Used

We have now had our Le Verre de Vin system in place for almost two years and I have been very impresses with the results. The system is the best that I have ever used for maintaining wine quality. It has been so effective, that we are now able to offer our entire wine list by the individual glass.


The system is quite easy to use and maintain. I have spent minimal time training employees on the machine (less than 5 minutes per person).


Furthermore, the unit has attracted much attention. Our members are often asking about it, thus generating interest in premium wines, leading to higher sales.


Thank you for your terrific product. Please keep me informed of any and all updates in your product line.
