Product Description
The Chef & Sommelier Cabernet Bordeaux glass is a 16oz red wine glass designed for consistent, professional table service in restaurants, hotels, and wine bars. At 455ml capacity, it accommodates a standard 250ml serve with sufficient room above the wine to allow the aromas to develop in the bowl — a practical consideration for venues where the wine experience matters as much as the food.
Chef & Sommelier glassware is well regarded in the hospitality trade for its durability relative to its weight. At 220g, the Cabernet sits in a useful middle ground: substantial enough to feel considered in the hand without being cumbersome for front-of-house staff carrying multiple glasses across a busy service. The tall, upright bowl shape suits Bordeaux-style reds in particular, directing the pour cleanly and presenting well on the table.
For operators running a full cover restaurant or function venue, a few practical points are worth considering:
- Supplied in packs of 12, making reorder quantities straightforward to manage
- The 216mm height stacks neatly in standard glasswasher racks
- Clear glass finish suits most table settings without limiting your décor choices
- The 87mm diameter bowl fits within standard glass storage and transport cradles
This glass is well suited to mid-market restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and private dining operations where a consistent, presentable red wine glass is needed at volume. For very high-turnover venues or operations where breakage rates are a significant cost concern, it may be worth discussing whether a more impact-resistant option would be a better fit for your service environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
- A common working rule is to hold two to three times your cover count in glassware to allow for tables in service, glasses in the washer, and breakage reserves. For a 40-cover operation you would typically want 80 to 120 glasses, which works out to seven to ten packs of 12. Your actual requirement will depend on how many wine styles you serve and whether you use the same glass across red and white.
- At 216mm tall, the Cabernet Bordeaux glass sits within the height tolerance of most standard 500mm commercial glasswasher racks, though it is worth confirming against the rack specification for your particular machine. Some high-volume operations use purpose-designed tall-glass racks to protect stems and reduce breakage during the wash cycle.
- It can work in a casual setting, but at 220g and with a relatively tall, slender profile it is more at home in a formal or mid-market dining environment where glassware is handled with reasonable care. In a high-turnover pub or casual bar where breakage rates tend to be higher, a more robust or lighter-weight glass may prove more cost-effective over time — something worth considering before committing to a large quantity.
