Chef & Sommelier Evidence Wine Glasses 450ml (Pack of 24)

The Chef & Sommelier Evidence range is a lead-free crystal wine glass with a distinctive short stem and angular bowl profile. At 450ml capacity, the glass sits comfortably in the mid-range for all-purpose wine service and is a practical choice for venues that want consistent presentation across red and white covers without managing multiple glass styles.

In a busy service environment, the Evidence glass holds up well. The lead-free crystal construction gives it a clarity and ring more commonly associated with premium crystal, while the laser-cut, flame-polished rim produces a clean edge that contributes to both presentation and comfortable drinking. The 180g weight gives the glass enough presence on the table without feeling heavy to handle or difficult to rack in quantity.

From an operational standpoint, the Evidence range offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• Dishwasher safe, which matters in high-turnover service where hand-polishing every glass is not realistic
• BPA-free crystal construction suitable for professional catering environments
• Supplied in a pack of 24, reducing reorder frequency and providing a practical starting quantity for a section or full front-of-house setup
• Angular bowl profile helps with stacking and racking efficiency in tight glassware storage

There are no unusual installation or storage prerequisites, though as with all crystal glassware, appropriate rack sizing and careful handling during washing will extend service life. The glasses are not chip-proof, and venues with very high breakage rates may want to consider a toughened alternative instead.

The Evidence glass is well suited to bistros, brasseries, wine bars, and casual dining venues where presentation matters but heavy-duty glassware is not the priority. Higher-volume operations running multiple sittings per service may benefit from a larger opening quantity or a more robust glass specification.
