Quality for storing and serving wines

Our stainless steel KEGs are the ideal reusable solution for storing, ageing and distributing your wine. We also offer you a comprehensive service. From the branding of your reusable KEG and specially developed techniques for traceability, through to the repair of damaged kegs!

Quality and durability

Stainless steel KEGs are the best option for preserving wine for a long time. KEGs with a plastic keg bladder suffer from unwanted aromas the longer the keg is stored. The situation is similar with corked glass bottles. Stainless steel KEGs preserve the original flavour of your freshly pressed or matured wine.

Economic efficiency

Products from SCHÄFER Container Systems can be used as a reusable solution for up to 30 years and longer. Single-use bottles are a very cost-intensive way to distribute your wine. There are also logistical advantages. This is because kegs are more efficient to store than bottles and optimise the use of space.

Logistics and distribution

Transporting KEGs for wine presses and wineries is much safer than transporting glass bottles. Stainless steel KEGs are robust and easy to transport. The kegs can also be cleaned and refilled more quickly than other packaging such as glass bottles with corks.

Sustainability

Stainless steel KEGs from SCHÄFER Container Systems are the ideal reusable packaging for wine. They enable sustainable, durable and hygienic solutions. With an efficient recycling system, you can optimise the ecological footprint of your business. At the same time, you can make provisions for upcoming regulations, such as the EU Packaging Regulation.

Calculation example for ecological advantage

One 20-litre KEG is the equivalent of 27 individual 0.75-litre bottles. This corresponds to 17 kilograms of used glass, which is avoided with each KEG that is filled. As a result, the circular economy produces demonstrably lower CO2 emissions than the production of new single-use containers. Over a period of 20 years, the carbon footprint of a KEG is 96 per cent lower than that of glass bottles.

All advantages

at a glance

Our reusable KEGs with a service life of 30 years and more can be used again and again in the cycle.
At the end of its long service life, stainless steel is completely recycled.
A special nitrogen mixture as tap gas creates ideal conditions for red and white wines. This rules out oxidisation of the wine in the keg.
Stainless steel does not react with acids or bases, meaning that the original organoleptic properties of your products remain unchanged.
Our stainless steel KEGs protect the contents against light and sunlight – there is 100 per cent UV protection.
The KEGs can be completely cleaned inside and out as often as required. Tartar can be easily removed using the thermal shock method.

Successful pioneers

for reusable KEGs

Numerous wineries are already exploiting these advantages. MONVIN, the premium brand of the Italian Montelvini Group, has been using stainless steel KEGs from SCHÄFER Container Systems since 1987. The family-run Müller winery from Krustetten in Austria has also made the switch. It supplies customers in the catering trade with the reusable system.

Good to know

Restaurateurs can switch their bar facilities from bottles to dispensing units with little effort. A system with an integrated counting mechanism means exact portioning and billing are possible.
