ATLANTA, GA, December 09, 2012 (Press-News.org) Wine-by-the-glass programs have always been a staple in the restaurant business, and John Metz has been on the forefront of wine by-the-glass programs since his first restaurant venture Hi Life Kitchen and Cocktails opened in 1997. In his role as Executive Chef and Co-founder, Metz has continued this trend at his growing concept, Marlow's Tavern. As the knowledge and sophistication of consumers in Atlanta continues to thrive, there is a shift in the way that wine is being served. Critical to this movement is Marlow's ability to serve a broad range of wines at their peak of freshness and taste, all at the perfect temperature.
At Marlow's Tavern in Alpharetta and East Cobb, the recent installation of the cutting edge WineStation preservation and pouring system allows diners to sample some of the world's finest wines by the glass. The 60 day wine preservation system and its thermo-electric cooling system assure the wine remains in a pristine environment and provide the perfect pour every time, with zero product waste.
Unique and high end wines, such as Jordan Cabernet and Col Solare Bordeaux Blend, are now available by the glass. The WineStation provides guests the ability to experience a range of featured wines in taste (2 ounces), half (4 ounces)or full glass (6 ounces) options that are both budget savvy for the guest, and cost effective for the restaurant..
"Our guests are growing more and more discerning about their wines and demanding unique and rare wines to try by the glass," said Metz. "We needed the most effective, intelligent wine preservation system that would allow us to consistently provide the smartest glass."
As diners cut back on ordering bottles, wines by the glass across the country are catching up to bottle sales because a glass provides the restaurant guest with more opportunity to explore higher priced wines, or indulge in small doses. For Marlow's, it is an opportunity to provide excellent product options and manage inventories while serving wine at its peak.
"A robust wine by the glass list can help restaurants increase revenue by allowing the consumer to taste a higher priced wine that might be cost prohibitive by the bottle," said Nick Moezidis, Napa Technology. "A wine preservation system like the WineStation is imperative for Marlow's to have a competitive and cost effective wine program."
Restaurants that have installed a preservation system have increased by the glass revenue by an average of 30 percent. WineStation is profitable for several reasons:
Americans are developing a more sophisticated palate for wine with the proliferation of wine bars in cities all over the United States.
Americans are the largest wine consumers in the world.
With the ability to set and measure the volume for each glass poured, the WineStation reduces waste and theft while keeping the wine pristine for up to 60 days.
The WineStation keeps the bottle at the perfect temperature for ideal storage eliminating any opportunity for spoilage.
The AccuServe Smartcard eliminates loss and provides customer and staff reporting, by tracking each glass poured.
