What is a wine pouring system and how does it work?

Overview

enomatic is a wine serving system, which means it preserves, cools and dispenses wines.

enomatics work by preserving the wine under a protective atmosphere of food-grade argon or nitrogen, which prevents oxygen entering into the opened bottle. Both gases are widely used in the food industry to preserve food and beverages, as they are odourless, tasteless and colourless. Above all, they are chemically inert, which means neither gas reacts with the wine.

These sophisticated systems combine preservation technology, temperature control, and precise dispensing to revolutionise how venues serve wine, while significantly reducing wastage and maximising profit potential.

An enomatic is a sophisticated wine serving system that performs four essential functions:

• Wine preservation
• Temperature control
• Automated dispensing
• Stylish display

How the preservation system works

The system preserves wine using a protective atmosphere of food-grade gas:

• Uses either argon (E938) or nitrogen (E941)
• Both gases are:
  • Odourless
  • Tasteless
  • Colourless
  • Chemically inert (no reaction with wine)
  • Food-grade safe

Preservation duration

• Wines typically last 21-30 days in the system
• Preservation duration varies by wine type:
  • Higher alcohol, high tannin red wines preserve longer
  • Light whites and delicate rosés can have shorter preservation times

Temperature control

• Temperature range: 6-18°C
• Adjustable based on wine type
• Dual-zone temperature options available on select models:
  • Unica 4
  • Unica 8
  • Unica Start 4
  • Unica Start 8

Key Benefits

1. Extended wine preservation
2. Precise temperature control
3. Consistent pour measurements
4. Reduced wine wastage
5. Enhanced wine service efficiency
