Bevage: The Wine & Spirits Optimizer Changing How We Experience Taste

Bevage: The Wine & Spirits Optimizer Changing How We Experience Taste

For centuries, wine lovers, sommeliers, collectors, and hospitality professionals have relied on time, oxygen, decanting, and patience to bring a wine or spirit closer to its full potential. Bevage was created to solve a simple but important question: why should a better tasting experience depend on waiting?

Bevageยฎ is an advanced wine and spirits optimization system designed to improve aroma, balance, smoothness, and mouthfeel in minutes. Using patented technology that combines controlled wavelength aging with precise rotational movement, Bevage helps wine and spirits open more quickly, without additives and without changing the original composition of the beverage.

The result is not a gimmick or a simple aerator. Bevage is a new category of beverage enhancement technology for people who care about the full tasting experience. It allows wines, spirits, and other beverages to present with greater aromatic clarity, smoother structure, and a more refined finish.

Traditional decanting can take hours and is often unpredictable. Aerators offer only a brief exposure to air and are generally limited in what they can do. Bevage was designed to create a more consistent and controlled result across reds, whites, rosรฉs, and spirits.

For private collectors and wine enthusiasts, Bevage offers a way to enjoy a more expressive glass at home. For restaurants, hotels, yacht owners, wine bars, private clubs, and luxury hospitality venues, it creates a memorable tableside experience that encourages conversation, discovery, and premium beverage service.

Bevage is especially well suited for environments where wine, spirits, and presentation matter. Whether used during a private dinner, tasting event, yacht reception, hospitality activation, or high-end retail demonstration, Bevage gives guests something they can experience immediately: the difference between the same beverage before and after optimization.

The companyโ€™s technology has been tested extensively with wine professionals, sommeliers, and enthusiasts, with more than 40,000 taste tests conducted worldwide. Bevage has also been recognized for its ability to enhance not only red wine, but also white wine, rosรฉ, and spirits โ€” a key distinction from traditional aeration products.

At its core, Bevage is about making the beverage experience more enjoyable, more accessible, and more memorable. It does not replace the winemaker, the distiller, or the craft behind the bottle. Instead, it helps reveal more of what is already there.

In a world where luxury is increasingly defined by experience, Bevage offers a powerful new way to elevate the moment โ€” one glass at a time.

THE GRAPES ARE IN - the EBURON Estate Harvest in Belgium is a Wrap!

As you may have heard, the 2024 vintage was a challenge all across Europe. At EBURON Estate, we harvested less grapes than normal. Fortunately, the quality of our grapes made up for that. A big thank you to all our friends that helped bring in the grapes, even very early in the morning.

Take a look at some of the harvest moments below.

HIGH SCORES FOR EBURON ESTATE

In their recent โ€œWines from Belgiumโ€ tasting, Perswijn magazine tasted almost 100 wines and our wines did very well. The Pinot Noir and Auxerrois scored 14,5 (on a 20-point scale) and our Chardonnay scored among the best wines in Belgium, with 15,5 points!

ALLIED VINTNERS and EBURON ESTATE

We are proud to announce that Allied Vintners in Antwerp has added EBURON Estate wines to their assortment and will distribute our wines to restaurants and wine stores all over Belgium and the Netherlands. We look forward to working with Koen, Olivier and their team. Check out more here.

Club Vivanova Launches SAV - a Mรฉthode Suรฉdoise Sparkling Wine - Promoting Swedish Excellence at the TWIGA Summer Yacht Show Party

SAV Winery

Swedish Excellence
โ€We saw a unique opportunity to create a new sparkling wine based on an old recipe by sustainably harvesting birch sap from the forests in the north.โ€

Launching in Monaco with a premium degustation at TWIGA in the Grimaldi Forum on Friday 24th September - 6pm the TWIGA Summer Yacht Show Party!

Book our TWIGA Summer Yacht Show Party

Mรฉthode Suรฉdoise
Wine has been made for centuries and there are many known methods for producing different types of sparkling wines. Our SAV 1785 is produced in a way that combines the "mรฉthode traditionelleโ€, and the "mรฉthode ancestrale". We call it the โ€Mรฉthode Suรฉdoiseโ€. Before the first fermentation in the tank is finished, we add some yeast and sugar and move the birch wine to a bottle where it becomes bubbly and reaches perfection. This is a Swedish sparkling, and the method was developed by us in Sweden to suit our raw material, birch sap. That is why we call it "Mรฉthode Suรฉdoiseโ€.

Learn About Wine and Why the French Call Pinot Noir "Sex In a Glass" with Brad Mitton's Newly Launched Wine Subscription Service

For 18 years, Brad Mitton has supplied small-batch New World wines to the luxury hospitality industry across Europe. During the two Corona-virus lockdowns and since his restaurant and hotel traders have closed, he re-structured with a home delivery concept and from scratch, developed a monthly subscription service which gives customers the chance to try the boutique wines (that he normally sells to sommeliers) at home - all carefully sourced from small, family-owned wineries from around the world.

โ€I have been inspired to work with small, family-owned wineries because in my experience, they produce the best value wines that you can find. These wines are hand-crafted - they have a story about where they are from and how they are made - and it is these wines that I send out every month to our subscribers, wines with beautiful details that I enjoy sharing with people."

Below - in one of his recent wine education videos - Brad addresses the Pinot Noir grape and explains why the French often refer to it as โ€œSex in a Glassโ€.

How does it work?
Itโ€™s simple! Subscribers can choose their case size, colour and preferred style, or opt to receive the recommended wine selection for the month. With this easy-to-use ordering platform, there are no intimidating wine shelves or second-guessing choices - subscribers receive great wines straight from Brad, tailored to their taste! And Brad does his best to ensure the wines are great.
