Wine Glasses

How to choose the right Commercial Wine Glasses

• Match glass capacity to your standard pour sizes and any required lined measures to control costs and compliance.
• Choose universal bowls if you run a compact wine list, or separate red, white and sparkling shapes for more premium service.
• Consider material and strength, opting for toughened or polycarbonate glasses in busy bars or outdoor areas.
• Think about storage and glass racks, ensuring stems and bowl diameters fit your existing dishwasher and shelving layout.
• Balance presentation and durability by deciding between fine crystal rims for premium dining and heavier rims for everyday use.
• Align your selection with service style, from casual bistro settings to fine dining, hotel banqueting and wine bars.

Care and maintenance

• Use appropriate glass racks in commercial dishwashers to prevent chipping and ensure thorough cleaning of bowls and stems.
• Avoid overcrowding racks so glasses do not touch during the wash cycle, reducing breakages and scuffing.
• Allow glasses to air dry before polishing with clean, lint free cloths to maintain clarity and shine.
• Rotate stock regularly so sets wear evenly and older glasses are used alongside newer ones.
• Store glasses upright or on dedicated glass hangers to protect rims and keep dust away from bowls.
• Inspect regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged glasses from service to maintain safety and presentation standards.
