Serving wine on tap has become a growing trend in a number of international markets since the concept was first introduced some years ago.  Already proven successful in the US and the UK, there have been benefits seen through years of practices from those who went into keg.  Bar owners and restaurateurs are getting smarter about using the new upgrade and are really getting in on it for on-premise wines.

Wines being served in this way bear no resemblance to the boxed (bag-in-box) wines widely seen on supermarket shelves in the past.  This one makes use of technological advancement to keep wine fresh longer and save storage space. The vessels is lighter in weight compared to bottle format and can be operated even by one pair of hands.

This innovation opens up fresh cost saving opportunities, explained in simple terms it is more profitable than selling wines from bottles. Kegged wines can be used to the last drop, restaurants and bars can capitalize on even higher profit margins by offering smaller pours of higher end wines, without worrying about costs of wastage.
