The Pub Has Tapped into the New Wine Trend
January 2nd, 2012
New Wines Taps installed At the Pub
Wine on tap isn’t just a clever novelty scheme — its better for the environment, and keeps wine fresher, making sure the last glass from the keg is as good as the first. Better yet, by ditching bottles, corks, labels and related production costs, wine producers save as much as 25 percent.
“Ultimately, the result is that the consumer is able to get a better glass of wine for less,” states Frank Piccola of Piccola Wines, in Woodenville http://piccolawine.com/ .
Kegged wines are much like beer — the primary difference being that nitrogen replaces a carbon dioxide-and-nitrogen cocktail as the space-filler in the kegs.
Jocelyn Waite, owner of the pub, states “This type of system has been around for a long time, but the wines weren’t very good. Now the focus is on putting high-quality local wines into kegs. The pub is thrilled to be able to be the first in Kitsap to offer kegged wine to our customers.”
