Bubble Brothers, Cork

Billy Forrester bought his machine to offer his customers a new way of buying and tasting wine. Located in Bubble Brothers’ main warehouse, customers can pop in at their convenience and try the great selection he has on offer. The machine is also available to the many accounts he holds around Ireland.

Bubble Brothers, set up and run by Billy Forrester and his team, is an Irish importer, distributor and retailer based in Cork. Since their inception in 1997, they have grown from strength to strength by supplying many of southern Ireland’s bars and restaurants with fantastic wines.

From their base in the Marina, they do all of their supply and warehousing, but also have a small town shop, in the centre of Cork, which is very popular with locals as they know they will get a fantastic bottle of wine when they visit.

Billy invested into a By The Glass 16-bottle system to show his trade and private clients the range of wines that he has on offer. It allows him to have 16 wines on offer at any time, so that people can always sample something new and exciting when visiting his warehouse. It allows him to offer trade tastings on a large scale, and he has been known to run tastings from different venues around Cork with the system.

Results

The machine has drawn people from all over the local area to view the machine but more importantly, the option to try the wines. Working with Billy has allowed us to spread the word of the By The Glass machines most effectively.
