Before joining Atlantis, were you familiar with the EuroCave products?
I’ve known about EuroCave since the start of my career 15 years ago. The products are always durable and reliable, and the maintenance is easy. EuroCave is continually innovating and evolving, which is what’s so great about them – they never go out of style and always keep up with the most recent technologies.
Bread Street Kitchen by Gordon Ramsey at Atlantis Dubai.Are you happy with the EuroCave products at Atlantis?
We’re very happy with the EuroCave products at Atlantis because we’ve never had any issues with them. The installations in BSK have been there since the start. It’s made from solid material that’s durable and has never given us any trouble.
The temperature conditions inside the EuroCaves are perfect, as is the lighting. You need a bit of darkness for wine to be stable and EuroCave provides this inside the cabinets. EuroCave has mastered the conditions for wine storage. Wine requires proper care, just like a human does. Wine needs proper housing that will store it correctly. This is vital because wine gets better with proper storage – it continues to evolve until you drink it, so it must be kept properly otherwise it spoils.
As a restaurant serving wine, what are the benefits of being able to serve by the glass using EuroCave’s Wine Bar?
It’s one of the most sommelier-friendly pieces of equipment inside a restaurant. Having a EuroCave Wine Bar makes a big difference with safety and temperature control, as does its storage management. Inside, it’s compact and stores a lot of bottles in such a small space. The Wine Bar has also massively impacted our wastage by allowing us to only use what we need, while keeping the remaining wine fresh.
Why did Atlantis, The Palm choose the EuroCave brand?
You never get in any issues with EuroCave. They have been here from the beginning. Over 12 years from the opening of Atlantis and we’ve never had any issues.
