Product Description
The Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque spirits snifter is a 170ml stemmed glass designed specifically for serving spirits and digestifs. The broad bowl shape concentrates aromatics, allowing the drinker to nose the drink properly before tasting — something that matters in settings where the spirit itself is part of the offer, from whisky bars to fine dining restaurants.
These glasses are made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx crystal, which is lead-free and notably clear. In a busy service environment, clarity matters — cloudy or tinted glassware diminishes the presentation of premium spirits. The titanium reinforcement built into the material helps reduce chipping at the rim and base, which are the most common breakage points in commercial use. Luigi Bormioli rate these glasses at up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without significant loss of clarity or structural integrity, which is a realistic benchmark for high-throughput hospitality operations.
- Lead-free SON.hyx crystal with strong resistance to mechanical shock
- Titanium-reinforced construction reduces rim and base chipping
- Rated for up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles
- Bowl profile designed to concentrate spirit aromatics
- Supplied in a pack of 24, suited to bar and restaurant par stock
A pack of 24 is a practical quantity for most bar and restaurant operations, allowing for a working set with enough cover for breakages and dishwasher turnaround. At 110g per glass, these are a reasonable weight for service — substantial enough to feel quality in the hand without being unwieldy for staff handling large numbers during a busy shift.
These glasses are well suited to hotel bars, cocktail bars, whisky-focused venues, and restaurants with a considered spirits list. For very high-volume venues where glass throughput and breakage rates are a primary concern, it is worth discussing your likely usage volume and glass turnover before committing to a quantity.
If you would like guidance on quantities, glass types, or how these sit alongside the wider Vinoteque range, the team is happy to help you work through what fits your operation.
