Imagine the incredible savings you could achieve by mastering the art of controlling your wine pour.

Picture this: you serve an average of 200 glasses of wine each evening. By taking control of every single pour, you could save an impressive average of $0.40 per one ounce pour. Now, multiply that by a year’s worth of 365 days, and you’ll find yourself with a staggering $29,200.00 in savings, solely from your wine expenditure!

It’s a well-known fact that overserving eats into your profits, leaving you with less to enjoy. On the other hand, underserving can leave your valued customers feeling disappointed. So, what’s the best solution? It’s simple: a controlled pour.

Achieving this level of control is easier than you might think. There are three fantastic methods to consider: natural pour lines, stylish glassware with decorative designs, and elegant carafes. Each approach offers its own unique charm, allowing you to master the art of the controlled pour and reap the incredible benefits.

Natural Pour Lines:

Experience the elegant curvature in the bowl where the round silhouette seamlessly merges with a gentle angle. These exquisite natural indentations effortlessly empower you to have complete control over your pour. The Chef & Sommelier Open Up collection is a perfect solution for a natural pour line. Its contemporary and revolutionary design is suitable for tasting all types of young wines with its large oxygenation area and closed rim to facilitate the concentration of flavors. 

Decor: 

Decorative glassware offers a multitude of benefits. It prominently displays your logo to catch the customer’s attention, provides a perfect backdrop for Instagram-worthy photos, and even serves as a pour line. By cleverly utilizing your logo, we can effortlessly create two pour lines, such as a 6 and 9 oz. pour. Explore decorated options from Arc Cardinal like the 16 oz. Cabernet “Grapes” glass, or add your own logo! 

Carafes: 

Offering wine in carafes is an exceptional way to enhance the experience for your customers who prefer to order wine by the glass. Carafes not only add a touch of elegance as the server gracefully pours the wine into the glass, but they also ensure that each pour contains the perfect amount of wine.

It’s time to take control! Start saving thousands of dollars each year and impress your customers with your impeccable wine pouring skills.
