Product Description
These 3-litre glass carafes from Steelite's Elite range are a straightforward, practical choice for table water and wine service in restaurants, hotels, and event catering. Each carafe is designed for front-of-house use where clean presentation and durability through repeated service cycles both matter.
In a busy dining environment, carafes take a fair amount of daily handling — clearing, rinsing, refilling, stacking. The Elite range is built with that reality in mind, offering the clarity and weight of proper glassware without being fragile in a working environment. The 295mm height keeps them stable on trays and service stations, and the 3-litre capacity suits table water service for larger parties or wine service where a full bottle equivalent is needed at the table.
From an operational standpoint, the key advantages are:
- Consistent presentation across a full service — packs of 12 help operators build matching sets without mixing batches
- Clear glass construction allows front-of-house staff to monitor fill levels without disturbing guests
- 3-litre capacity reduces the frequency of refills during longer covers
- Sized for practical pouring without being cumbersome to handle one-handed
- Buying in case quantities keeps per-unit cost manageable and allows for breakage contingency
As with all glassware used in commercial service, handling protocols, glass storage, and washing procedures will affect longevity. These are glass carafes — not polycarbonate — so they are suited to table service rather than high-risk outdoor or poolside environments.
They are a sound option for restaurants, hotels, and banqueting operations that serve table water or wine in carafes as standard. Operators running very high-volume banqueting with significant breakage rates may want to weigh up whether a polycarbonate alternative better suits the environment.
If you are unsure whether the 3-litre size is right for your service style, or want to discuss case quantities for a larger opening order, we are happy to help you work it through.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the 3-litre size works well for both table water service and wine service where a carafe rather than a bottle is preferred. For wine service specifically, it is worth considering whether your service style calls for a smaller carafe size, as 3 litres is on the larger end for wine presentation at smaller tables.
- Glass carafes of this type are generally compatible with commercial glasswashers, though cycle temperature, detergent concentration, and racking practice all affect longevity. If you have any doubt about compatibility with your current glasswasher, it is worth checking with us before committing to a large quantity.
- That depends on your covers, table configuration, and how quickly carafes turn around through your glasswasher. As a general guide, operators typically want enough carafes to cover full service plus a working buffer for breakage and wash cycles. We can help you work out a sensible opening quantity if you let us know your cover numbers.
