WINEEMOTION FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WINEEMOTION DISPENSERS
A Wineemotion wine dispenser is an automated, temperature-controlled equipment used to serve and preserve wines at the perfect temperature. Our dispensers can hold multiple bottles of wine within one system, and offer different pour control settings. Wineemotion dispensers are most commonly used in restaurants, bars, wineries, lounges, clubs and tasting rooms to prevent spoilage and waste when selling wine by the glass. With additional software, they can also be used by customers directly using smart cards.
How does a wine dispenser work?
Through the use of Argon or Nitrogen gas, wine dispensers preserve wine for 30+ days and can serve wine by the glass in three precise volumes. Generally, the portions are set by the taste, half glass, and full glass.
