The Queen's Head, a popular gastropub in York, was looking to streamline its wine service to cope with the busy tourist season. Their staff were free-pouring, which led to inconsistent serves and noticeable stock discrepancies at the end of each week.
"We brought in the Beaumont measures to get a handle on our portion control. It’s such a simple change, but the difference is huge. The staff are more confident, service is quicker, and our wine margins are finally where they should be. They paid for themselves in a month."
Robert Mills – General Manager
After implementing the measures, The Queen's Head reported a 15% reduction in wine wastage and a significant improvement in service speed during peak hours.
Ever wondered what that little 'CE' stamp on your government stamped spirit measure 125ml actually means? Think of it as a legal MOT for your barware. The 'CE' mark (or the new 'UKCA' mark) is a declaration that the measure has been tested and certified to hold the exact volume it claims to. It’s your guarantee to both your customers and the Trading Standards officer that you are serving a fair, legal, and accurate measure.
Using a non-stamped measure for selling alcohol by volume is illegal in the UK and can lead to hefty fines. So, that simple stamp isn't just a detail; it's your professional shield. It ensures every single glass of wine is consistent, protecting your reputation, your profits, and keeping your business safely on the right side of the law.
Q: Is this 125ml CE stamped wine measure pourer legal for use in a UK pub?
A: Absolutely. The CE stamp signifies it has been approved by government-appointed inspectors and is a legal measure for serving 125ml of wine for trade.
Q: What does 'CE Stamped' actually mean?
A: It means the product conforms with health, safety, and protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area. For measures, it confirms its volume is accurate for legal trade.
Q: Is the Beaumont D961 dishwasher safe?
A: Yes, being made from high-quality stainless steel, it is perfectly safe to be cleaned in a commercial dishwasher.
Q: Can I use this for spirits?
A: This 125ml measure is specifically for a small glass of wine. For spirits in the UK, you'll need legally required 25ml or 35ml measures.
Q: The name says 'pourer', but it looks like a cup. How do I use it?
A: You're right, in the trade this is known as a 'thimble measure'. You place it on the bar and pour the wine *into* it up to the brim to get the perfect 125ml measure, before pouring that into the glass.
Q: What's the difference between this and a jigger?
A: This is a single-cup thimble measure. A jigger is typically a double-ended measuring tool, often with two different volumes (e.g., 25ml and 50ml), commonly used for cocktails.
Q: Is the stainless steel prone to rusting?
A: Not at all. The high-grade stainless steel used is highly resistant to rust and corrosion, even with constant use and washing.
Q: Does the measure have a fill line or is it to the brim?
A: Thimble measures like this are designed to be filled right to the brim for an accurate serving.
