WineEmotion UK: Revolutionising Wine by the Glass
WineEmotion UK is a global leader in high-quality wine dispensers, renowned for their innovative technology and superior craftsmanship. Manufactured in Italy’s Tuscany region, WineEmotion’s dispensers offer an impressive range of features that cater to the needs of various establishments, from restaurants and wine bars to hotels and sports clubs.
One of the standout products is the dual temperature zone 8-bottle wine dispenser, a versatile unit that can be placed on a bar or table. This state-of-the-art dispenser can serve 24 different permutations of wine measures, complete with a contactless payment system. By injecting nitrogen or argon into the wine bottles, the dispensers ensure the wine remains fresh for up to 30 days, providing an optimal wine experience with no waste. Our clients can also opt for quarterly selected wines within 3 different price bands, enhancing customer choice and driving wine sales.
Wine Walls UK: Crafting Bespoke Wine Storage Solutions
Wine Walls UK designs and builds bespoke wine walls, wine rooms, and cellars. We cater to both private individuals and businesses within the high-end luxury residential and commercial hospitality sectors. Our bespoke wine cellars are crafted using a variety of materials to suit each budget, from 100% natural wood to veneered MDF.
Every wine storage solution is meticulously designed in collaboration with our customers, ensuring maximum effect within the available space. We consider essential factors such as refrigeration, humidity control, doors, glazing, and lighting. Our projects range from £10,000 to nearly £200,000, depending on the size and complexity of the installation. With installation and manufacturing teams located across the UK, we can undertake projects anywhere in the country.
Our clients often have existing wine stocks to populate their new wine walls or cellars, but we also offer a supply chain to source and procure the perfect selection of wines from around the world. This ensures that our customers have a great selection from day one.
