Bermar

Our history Founded in 1991, Bermar has been a pioneering force in the wine preservation industry for over 30 years. Our founding team had a bold vision: to create a system that could "reseal" a bottle, extending the lifespan of still or sparkling wine from hours to weeks. In the early '90s, a wine list with an array of by the glass options seemed like a far-off dream in the UK. Consumers were faced with a binary choice: red or white. But the Bermar team was determined to change that. They brought their vision to life with the introduction of the patented Le Verre de Vin still wine and Champagne preservation system. Renowned winemakers, sommeliers, and critics put the system to the test, and it passed with flying colours. The system revolutionised the way the hospitality sector served wine and gave consumers the ability to enjoy a wider variety of wines by the glass. Over the past 30 years, Bermar's product range has continued to evolve to meet the needs of modern operators. However, one thing that has never changed is our team's unwavering dedication to getting great wines into the hands of even greater consumers
