Your Go-To Kegged Wine, Now Powering Profitable Wine-By-The-Glass Programs Nationwide

August 11, 2025

In the hospitality market, margins are tighter, expectations are higher, and wine-by-the-glass service has never been more complex. Restaurants, event venues, and caterers are juggling inflation, staffing shortages, and increased pressure to operate sustainably, while still delivering quality, consistency, and speed.

Traditional bottled wine, while familiar, brings with it a long list of inefficiencies: waste from spoilage, time-consuming service, labor-intensive storage, and constant restocking. 

In this evolving environment, kegged wine offers a smarter way forward.

58 Fahrenheit has paired authentic French wines from Burgundy with a streamlined, service-ready keg format designed specifically for the real needs of hospitality. 

Now, we’re helping national distributors bring this solution to clients across the country.

Kegged Wine, Built For Today’s Hospitality Demands

Wine service in high volume settings isn’t just about taste; it’s about timing, labor, and minimizing waste.

Our 10-liter recyclable kegs hold the equivalent of 13 bottles of wine, but with none of the bottle-related challenges. Each keg is completely sealed from oxygen, preserving the wine’s freshness for weeks after opening and ensuring that every pour is consistent in quality and flavor.

Opening and resealing bottles at the end of every shift? No longer necessary. 

With our compact, dual-line tap machine, built to pour both red and white wines, you simply plug in, tap the keg, and pour. 

There’s no gas tank, no refrigeration setup, and no complicated install.

It’s an elegant solution for busy service teams and a welcome upgrade from the nightly rituals of vacuum sealing bottles and guessing what will stay fresh by tomorrow.

Smart Inventory With Smarter Margins

As food and beverage costs continue to rise, operators are under intense pressure to protect profitability. Our kegged wine system helps your clients do exactly that.

Each 6 oz pour costs less than $3, allowing for healthy by-the-glass margins, even on premium French varietals. Because our kegs are smaller than traditional 20L formats, they also give your clients the ability to manage inventory in a more agile way, keeping more money in their pocket and less tied up in bulk stock.

Fewer broken bottles, less spoilage, and reduced packaging waste means more of what your clients are paying for actually makes it to the glass. And with less product loss comes higher yields per keg, translating to real revenue gains.

A Scalable Solution For Distributors

For national distributors, scalability matters. You need products that not only perform well but also integrate smoothly into a variety of client environments, without creating logistical friction or adding to your support workload.

58 Fahrenheit’s kegged wine system is a true plug-and-pour model, equally well suited for independent restaurants and large venue groups. It eliminates the need for specialized staff training, expensive equipment, or new infrastructure. Whether your customer is outfitting a wedding venue or streamlining a hotel wine program, our system delivers consistency, speed, and service readiness without complexity.

From a distribution standpoint, it’s a win: dependable supply, fast fulfillment from our U.S. warehouse, and the ability to support multiple market types with one versatile solution.

French Wine, Delivered Without The Fuss

At the core of our system is what matters most: real, premium wine.

We source directly from Burgundy, one of the most respected wine regions in the world, and work only with producers who understand and share our vision for hospitality-ready wine. These are not mass-market blends; they’re French varietals curated to perform beautifully in high volume service settings.

The sealed keg format ensures each glass tastes exactly as it should, fresh, aromatic, and balanced. No oxidation, no inconsistencies. Just wine with true pedigree, poured on demand.

For Distributors Looking To Add Value, Not Overhead

Unlike traditional beverage systems, our model is designed to be cost-effective from the start. The 2-line tap machine is included with your first order, no capital investment required. It’s compact, energy-efficient, and requires only a standard outlet to operate.

We also offer training materials and ongoing support to make onboarding seamless for your clients. From small neighborhood venues to major hospitality groups, 58 Fahrenheit helps you offer solutions that reduce friction and increase long-term loyalty.

For clients who want even more flexibility, our canned wine format offers single-serve, portable options perfect for festivals, events, or on-the-go programs, all with the same premium French wine inside.

Wine service is changing. Operators need options that are easier to manage, more profitable to serve, and worthy of a premium guest experience. 

Kegged wine checks every box.

We offer more than exceptional French wine; we offer a system designed for modern hospitality, one that delivers consistently across locations, concepts, and customer needs.

If you’re a national distributor looking to offer a fresh, scalable wine solution that supports your clients’ bottom line and service goals, we’d love to connect.
