Mobile Technik create vintage Wondering Wine festival vans
Trailer and brand environment specialists Mobile Technik has been commissioned by new outside wine service the Wondering Wine Company to create four vintage styled wine trailers, ready for a busy summer season.
Mobile Technik has worked with Simon Swift, managing director of the Wondering Wine Company to create the unusual vintage vehicles, which will specialise in the perfect serve for red, white and rose wine at festivals, events and parties.
Two of the vehicles will be striking original Citroen HY vans adorned with the Wondering Wine Company vintage blue and cream branding. Each will be kitted out with serving hatches, two wine coolers for white and rose wine and a timber storage rack for red wine. The vans will feature a front counter – with space for two tills, a rapid cork dispenser at each end of the counter, a freezer for ice and specialist storage for Govino polymer wine glasses. To enable separate storage once the van is stationary, a shelf will be dropped into place around the outline of the cab to hold additional glasses and peripherals.
Mobile Technik has also sourced one vintage and commissioned one new Airstream trailer, which will each be transformed into the Wondering Wine Company’s flagship vehicles.
Simon Pauffley, managing director of Mobile Technik explains;
“We are working with Simon to create these bespoke trailers as well as handling all the logistics, storage and maintenance on these terrific vehicles. The Wondering Wine Company wanted to create trailers that would be a feature at events, which fitted with the vintage brand, but were striking to event visitors. The most exciting part of the project for us is that this will be Europe’s very first catering unit constructed on a new factory approved Airstream US shell. Previously we had to source vintage shells, which were modified but this one will be made to measure to create an Airstream winebar.”
The Wondering Wine Company has been launched by wine wholesalers Bibendum, with the mission to bring its wines, properly served to UK events.
Simon Swift explains;
"Over the last few years the quality of food and drink offerings at large consumer events has improved markedly. To meet consumer's heightened expectations, The Wondering Wine Company will bring a new, dynamic approach to selling wine everywhere and the trailers are the cornerstone of that service, we will have four vehicles in 2011, with the plan for a bigger fleet in years to come.”
