Hopleaf added a draft wine program in addition to its extensive bottled wine selection in 2012. While we still offer wines by the bottle, draft wines, including many from Free Flow Wines dominate our wine sales. We have 10 taps dedicated to draft wines. For summer, we have four reds, four whites and two rose' wines on offer in quarter, half and 750 ml carafes. Customers love them! We do too. Last glass tastes as good as the first. No waste. Excellent profit margins. Customer gets to choose how much they want. No bottles to throw away. We are selling more wine than ever. There have been no issues with quality or customer reticence with the format.

Scoma's is dedicated to sustainable sourcing practices and reducing waste. We believe wine on tap with reusable steel kegs is an important extension of this.

We have used FreeFlow kegs whenever possible in our wine shops and restaurants in Atlanta and Ball Ground, Georgia for over 10 years, and have been extremely pleased with both their consistent user-friendliness and especially the availability of higher-quality wines. The available selections continue to gain momentum, allowing us to have a larger selection while maintaining our commitment to higher standards in what we offer to our guests. We’ve come a long way from the world of utilizing retired half-barrel beer kegs! Many thanks!

Unfortunately most wine bottles are colored glass, and recyclers want clear glass. It breaks my heart that glass ends up in landfills, and then there's the energy it takes to produce the bottles, corks, labels, the cardboard box the wine is shipped in...the beauty of wine in keg is that it gets used over and over. And it's a better product

Wine from reusable stainless steel kegs is a great option for restaurants because it offers several benefits. One of the main advantages of kegged wine is that it helps preserve wine quality and freshness for a longer period of time. The sealed, inert environment of the keg minimizes oxidation, which can negatively affect the taste and aroma of the wine. This also eliminates the need for individual bottles, corks, and packaging materials, making it a more eco-friendly option. In addition to being sustainable, keg wine is also cost-efficient for guests, who can enjoy high-quality wine in a convenient and economical way.

Wine Girl opened its first location in Scottsdale back in 2020 with our second coming in 2022 in Napa Valley. We offer a total of 28 taps across both locations and we absolutely love the ease of use and all of the saved waste bottles would create. Over the life of our company, we have used thousands of kegs. Our servers love it as well as it greatly helps the efficiency on our busy days! We highly recommend any account switching to some of their most popular line items to kegs. They won’t regret it!

Free Flow has been a critical partner in the development of our on premise business. With the efficiencies that the keg format provides, it allows everyone in the supply chain to bring additional value to the end customer. Using stainless steel kegs instead of plastic is also important to us both for maintaining wine quality and for the environmental impact factors. We choose to fill the kegs at the winery for control over our process, but the customer service and partnership network make Free Flow an easy choice.

We started working with Free Flow...and kegs have gone from being one of our constant headaches to a channel whose contribution might be as positive for our bottom line as it is for the wine we sell through that channel.

Our company was founded to focus on increased revenues and profitability for our restaurant and bar customers by helping make sure that the kegged equipment is consistently serving a high-quality product for their patrons. For the past ten plus years we have been helping by spreading the news about steel kegged wine to our customers and we find that our clients are finding this a transformative decision that is saving them both time and money in the long run. The preservation of wine quality is a priority, and steel kegs play a pivotal role in maintaining the integrity of each pour. The material ensures that the wine's flavor remains uncompromised, (especially when compared to plastic kegs and clear glass bottles), delivering a consistently exceptional experience for patrons. This attention to quality not only satisfies customers but also enhances the reputation of the establishments we serve. Our testimonial is not just about steel kegs; it's about a strategic choice that combines durability, sustainability, and premium quality. We are proud to be leaders in providing solutions that not only meet but exceed the expectations of our clients and contribute positively to the industry and to the Earth
