Stuart Rubenstein, US Distributor of By the Glass USA, reveals how sleek, high-tech wine and beverage taps can turn ordinary hotel lobbies into memorable social hubs, boost revenue, and reduce waste—all while impressing guests craving personalized, fun experiences. In this conversation as a part of our Freight Unpacked series, Stuart shares the fascinating story behind the rise of self-serve wine bars in hospitality, explaining how these innovative dispensers attract younger demographics, enhance operational efficiency, and create shareable moments on social media. You’ll discover how hotel lobbies and lounges are evolving into tasting rooms and social spaces, with dispensers seamlessly integrated into design to elevate guest satisfaction and drive new revenue streams. We break down:
