These Arcoroc brandy and cognac glasses offer a traditional balloon profile well suited to serving brandy, cognac, and other aged spirits. At 410ml, they provide enough bowl capacity to allow the spirit to breathe and aromas to develop without being oversized for practical service use. They are supplied in packs of six, which suits operators restocking a bar or building out glassware across several covers.
Arcoroc is a well-established glassware brand used widely across the hospitality trade. Their glasses are produced to consistent standards that make them reliable for commercial service environments where uniformity across a set matters — both visually and in terms of handling. The glass is clear, lightweight enough for comfortable service, and shaped to present spirits in a recognisable, professional format.
For busy bar operations, having a dependable stock of brandy glasses that hold up to regular handling, washing, and restacking is more useful than anything elaborate. These are practical, unpretentious glasses that do their job reliably.
- Consistent bowl shape suitable for swirling and nosing spirits
- Clear glass allows the colour of the spirit to show well
- Manageable size for tray service and back-bar storage
- Suitable for commercial glasswashers with correct rack support
These glasses are well suited to pubs, hotel bars, restaurants, and function venues that serve brandy or cognac as part of their drinks offering. If you require a larger pack size for higher-volume sites or are sourcing glassware across multiple categories, it is worth speaking with us to ensure you have the right quantities and styles to match your service needs.
£41.21(£49.45 inc VAT)
The Schott Zwiesel Mondial brandy glass is a generously sized, classically proportioned crystal glass suitable for professional bar, restaurant, and banqueting service. Made from crystal glass, it offers the clarity and weight-in-hand feel that guests associate with quality, without the fragility that makes fine glassware impractical in a busy service environment.
In commercial settings, brandy glasses take more handling than most — polished between services, loaded onto trays, collected at pace during a busy function. The Mondial range is produced by Schott Zwiesel using a hardened crystal process, which gives it meaningfully better resistance to chipping and breakage than standard glassware. For operators running high-turnover covers or cater hire operations, that durability translates directly into lower replacement costs over time.
- Crystal construction provides clarity and presentation quality suited to premium service
- Robust enough for regular commercial use including function and cater hire environments
- Generous 540ml bowl suits both brandy and other digestif service styles
- Consistent sizing across the pack supports uniform table presentation
- Dishwasher-safe construction designed to hold up under repeated commercial washing cycles
These glasses arrive in a pack of six, which works well for restocking an existing set or outfitting a small spirits station. For larger venues or function caterers needing to cover multiple tables simultaneously, it is worth considering how many packs your service rotation requires before ordering.
If you are building out a glassware range across a new venue or want to discuss quantities suited to your covers and service style, the team is happy to help you work through the numbers.
£86.40(£103.68 inc VAT)
The Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque Brandy Glass is a professional stemware option designed for commercial bar and restaurant use. Each glass holds 460ml and is shaped to direct the aromatics of brandy and cognac effectively, making it a practical choice for venues that take their spirits service seriously.
Made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx material — an ultra-clear, lead-free crystal — these glasses offer notably better resistance to mechanical shock than standard glassware. The titanium reinforcement further reduces the risk of chipping and breakage, which matters in any operation where glasses are handled repeatedly across busy service periods. Clarity is consistently high, giving the glass a premium appearance without the fragility often associated with fine crystal.
For high-turnover operations, the commercial dishwasher durability is a practical consideration worth noting. Luigi Bormioli rates SON.hyx glasses to withstand up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without loss of clarity or structural integrity — a meaningful figure when you're running glasswash several times a night.
- Ultra-clear appearance suits premium spirits presentation
- Titanium reinforcement reduces everyday breakage and chipping
- Lead-free crystal — no compliance concerns for food service use
- Rated for intensive commercial dishwasher use
- Consistent bowl shape supports proper nosing of brandy and cognac
These glasses are well suited to hotels, cocktail bars, fine dining restaurants, and any venue serving brandy or cognac as part of a considered drinks offering. For venues requiring a larger bowl profile or a different stem height, other sizes within the Vinoteque range may be worth considering.
If you're specifying glassware across multiple outlets or want to discuss volume requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£163.00(£195.60 inc VAT)
The Luigi Bormioli Speakeasy Swing snifter is a brandy and spirits glass built for professional drinks service. The faceted bowl gives it a distinctive presence on the bar without tipping into novelty territory — it reads as considered rather than showy, which suits venues where glassware is part of the overall guest experience.
Made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx lead-free crystal, the glass offers the clarity and weight associated with traditional crystal while being considerably more resistant to the mechanical knocks that are unavoidable in a busy bar environment. The rims are reinforced with a patented titanium-based anti-abrasion treatment, which addresses one of the most common failure points for premium glassware in service — chipping and cracking at the lip. Importantly, the glass is dishwasher safe and rated to maintain its clarity and finish beyond 4,000 wash cycles, which makes it a practical choice rather than just an aesthetic one.
- Lead-free SON.hyx crystal construction for clarity and impact resistance
- Titanium-reinforced rim treatment reduces chipping and lip damage
- Dishwasher safe and rated to retain finish beyond 4,000 cycles
- Faceted bowl design suits brandy, aged spirits, and cognac service
- Supplied in a pack of 24, practical for bar stock rotation
For bar and restaurant operators, the durability credentials matter as much as the aesthetics. Glassware that looks the part but cannot survive a commercial glasswasher quickly becomes expensive to maintain. The Speakeasy Swing is well suited to cocktail bars, hotel lounges, fine dining venues, and any operation where brandy or premium spirits are a meaningful part of the drinks offer. The pack-of-24 format supports sensible stock holding without over-committing on shelf space.
If you're building out a glassware range or matching this to an existing collection, the team are happy to talk through your requirements — it's worth a conversation before placing a larger order.
£41.90(£50.28 inc VAT)
The Utopia Bistro brandy glasses are a straightforward, well-proportioned glass designed for everyday service use. The 400ml capacity suits standard brandy and cognac measures with room for the drinker to warm and swirl the spirit comfortably, which is what a balloon-style glass is there to do. These are supplied in packs of twelve, which aligns with typical bar par stock requirements.
In a busy bar or restaurant environment, glassware takes a great deal of handling — polishing, stacking, washing, and the occasional knock. The Bistro range is built around a classic form that prioritises durability alongside appearance. The shape is traditional enough to suit a broad range of venue styles without looking out of place, from pub dining rooms to hotel bars.
- Classic balloon form promotes aroma and spirit warming
- Pack of 12 suits standard bar par stock levels
- Straightforward profile makes polishing and storage practical
- Timeless design sits comfortably across venue styles
- Consistent sizing supports uniform presentation across the bar
It is worth considering breakage rates when sizing your initial order. For higher-volume venues or those with limited storage, ordering additional packs as part of the initial purchase tends to reduce short-term service disruption. Glass material means standard care applies — avoid stacking inside one another and follow dishwasher manufacturer guidance on glassware cycles where applicable.
These glasses are a practical choice for pubs, restaurants, bistros, hotel bars, and private dining operations looking for reliable, presentable brandy glassware without overcomplicating the decision. If you are equipping a larger venue or want to discuss quantities and whether this style fits your service setup, the team is happy to help you work through it.
£9.30(£11.16 inc VAT)
The Olympia Bar Collection brandy glasses are a straightforward crystal glassware option designed for bar and restaurant use. Each glass holds 400ml and is made from crystal glass, giving it the clarity and light refraction that works well for presenting spirits and digestifs at the table or bar counter.
In a service environment, durability and consistency matter as much as appearance. These glasses are glasswasher safe, which makes them practical for busy operations running multiple covers or late-night bar service where turnaround time between washes is limited. The clean, simple lines also make them easy to inspect for residue or damage during polishing runs.
- Crystal glass construction for clarity and light refraction
- Glasswasher safe for efficient turnaround during service
- Clean lines that suit both formal dining and relaxed bar settings
- Sold in packs of six, practical for building or replenishing stock
- Suitable for brandy, cognac, and other digestif service
They are well suited to restaurants, hotel bars, gastropubs, and private dining operations where a consistent, presentable glassware range is needed without the cost or fragility of high-end crystal. For venues with very high breakage rates or more casual service styles, a toughened or non-crystal alternative may be worth considering alongside these.
If you are building out a glassware range or unsure which pack size suits your cover count, the team is happy to talk through the options.
£38.23(£45.88 inc VAT)
The Libbey Embassy brandy snifter is a commercial-grade balloon glass designed for serving brandy, cognac, and aged spirits in bars, restaurants, and hotel dining rooms. Each glass holds 270ml and is produced from soda lime glass using a one-piece construction — meaning there is no separate stem, foot, or bowl junction to act as a stress point under repeated handling and washing.
In a busy bar environment, glassware takes a significant amount of punishment. The Embassy range addresses this through Libbey's Safedge rim and foot guarantee, which reinforces the two areas most prone to chipping during service and stacking. The result is a glass that holds up well through high-turnover service periods and regular dishwasher cycles without the rapid attrition rate that affects lower-grade stemware.
For operators, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- One-piece construction eliminates the most common breakage point on traditional stemware
- Safedge rim and foot reinforcement reduces chipping during busy service
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between covers
- Consistent bowl shape presents spirits correctly and supports nosing
- Supplied in packs of 12, suited to bar stock management
No special storage or handling infrastructure is required. These glasses are compatible with standard commercial glasswashers and glass racks. At 200g per glass, they have a solid feel without being heavy in the hand.
The Embassy snifter suits licensed restaurants, hotel bars, cocktail bars, and any venue serving brandy or cognac as part of a considered drinks offering. For venues with very high covers or a spirits-led menu where glass attrition is a regular concern, it is worth discussing volume requirements and pack quantities with us before ordering.
If you have questions about glass selection for your bar programme, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£38.23(£45.88 inc VAT)
The Libbey Embassy brandy snifter is a compact, professional-grade spirit glass designed for commercial bar and restaurant service. At 160ml, it is sized for neat spirit serves and short pours rather than large balloon presentations, making it a practical choice for venues where measured service and table presentation both matter.
Libbey manufacture the Embassy range from a single piece of soda lime glass, which removes the weak joint where stem, foot, and bowl typically meet on traditionally constructed stemware. In a busy bar environment, that junction is usually where breakages occur — either during washing, stacking, or handling at pace. The one-piece construction gives the glass meaningfully better resistance to the knocks of everyday commercial service.
The Safedge rim and foot guarantee is a practical feature worth noting. It reinforces the two areas of the glass most exposed to chipping — the rim during dishwasher cycles and the foot during stacking. For operators running high-volume bar service, this translates directly into lower replacement frequency and fewer waste write-offs.
- One-piece construction eliminates the weak stem-to-bowl joint
- Safedge rim and foot protection reduces chipping in dishwasher cycles
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast glass turnaround during service
- Consistent sizing supports measured spirit service and portion control
- Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to bar par-stock requirements
This glass suits wine bars, hotel bars, gastropubs, and restaurants offering a curated spirits selection. It is a mid-capacity snifter — operators looking for a larger balloon-style presentation glass for premium cognac service may want to consider a higher-capacity alternative from the range.
If you are unsure whether this size is the right fit for your service style or glassware programme, our team is happy to talk it through.
£27.30(£32.76 inc VAT)
The Utopia Thames brandy glasses are large-format balloon glasses made from lead-free crystal, sold in a pack of six. They are designed for serving brandy, cognac, and aged spirits in bars, restaurants, and hotel lounges where presentation matters alongside durability.
In a busy bar environment, glassware takes a significant amount of handling, and the Thames range is made to withstand regular glasswasher cycles without deteriorating in clarity or finish. Lead-free crystal offers good light transmission and a clean appearance on the table, which matters in settings where the glassware forms part of the overall guest experience.
- Glasswasher safe for fast turnaround during service
- Lead-free crystal construction maintains clarity over time
- Large bowl shape suits brandy, cognac, and full-bodied spirits
- Pack of six suits bar stock replenishment or a single table setting
- Suitable for both casual dining and more formal service environments
As with any glassware, high-volume operations will want to consider how many covers they are serving and how quickly glasses need to return to service. A pack of six is a practical top-up quantity, though venues running a busy spirits programme will typically hold a larger standing stock to allow for breakages and glasswasher cycle times.
This glass is well suited to restaurants, hotel bars, and independent pubs offering a spirits or digestif menu. If you are equipping a larger operation or setting up a full glassware range from scratch, it is worth speaking with the team to make sure the quantities and styles work across your service requirements.
£157.00(£188.40 inc VAT)
These large-format brandy and cognac glasses from Chef & Sommelier are designed for spirits service in a professional bar or restaurant setting. With a generous 700ml bowl capacity, they allow guests to swirl and nose aged spirits properly — something that matters when you're serving premium cognac, brandy, or aged rum at the right price point.
Chef & Sommelier glassware is made to hold up in busy bar environments. The stems and bowls are produced to consistent dimensions across the pack, which keeps the look of a table or bar tray uniform during service. The glass is clear and fine enough to present well without being so delicate that it becomes a breakage problem in a working environment.
From an operational perspective, a few things are worth noting:
- Oversized bowl encourages correct spirit appreciation — aroma and warmth develop naturally
- Consistent sizing across the pack suits measured portion control and presentation standards
- Suitable for brandy, cognac, aged rum, and other digestif spirits
- Pack of 24 supports a full bar par without repeated ordering
- Clear crystal-style glass works across contemporary and traditional interiors
These are appropriate for restaurants with a spirits list, cocktail bars serving digestifs, hotel bars, and any licensed venue where glassware presentation is taken seriously. They are not a budget utility glass — if you need high-volume turnover glassware where replacement cost is the priority, a more robust or lower-cost option may be worth considering alongside these.
If you're building out a glassware range or matching these to an existing spirits offer, feel free to get in touch — we're happy to talk through what works best for your service style.
£14.36(£17.23 inc VAT)
These Olympia crystal brandy glasses offer a clean, classic balloon shape suited to bar and restaurant service. The crystal construction gives a clearer, brighter appearance than standard glass, which suits venues where presentation is part of the experience — from pub dining rooms to hotel bars.
In day-to-day service, crystal glassware tends to hold its clarity well when handled and washed correctly, though it benefits from careful racking during dishwasher cycles to reduce chipping risk at the rim. The 255ml capacity is a practical size for standard brandy measures and sits comfortably in the hand during service.
- Clear crystal construction for good light transmission and presentation
- Classic balloon profile suitable for brandy and similar spirits
- Sold in a pack of six, practical for stocking a back bar or replacing breakages
- Clean lines that complement most bar and table settings
These are well suited to restaurants, hotel bars, pub dining rooms, and function venues that serve brandy or cognac as part of a spirits range. For venues running high-volume service or needing larger pack quantities, it is worth considering whether a higher-quantity pack or a toughened alternative would better suit the throughput.
If you are unsure which glassware best fits your service style or volume, the team is happy to help you work through the options.
£175.00(£210.00 inc VAT)
The Chef & Sommelier Open Up Ardent brandy glass is designed around the way a good brandy or cognac is meant to be appreciated. The bowl shape creates a natural decanting effect as the spirit is poured, encouraging aromas to develop without any intervention from the server. The wide surface area promotes oxygenation, while the narrowing upper section channels aroma towards the nose — a considered piece of glassware that does something useful rather than simply looking the part.
Made from Krysta, Chef & Sommelier's lead-free crystal material, the glasses are flame-polished and finished to a standard that gives noticeably greater rim strength than standard crystal — a practical advantage in any operation where glassware is handled at volume and goes through the dishwasher repeatedly. Krysta retains its clarity over time without the brittleness sometimes associated with traditional crystal, which matters when glasses are in constant rotation across a busy service.
For front-of-house teams, the key practical points are straightforward:
- Dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between covers
- Enhanced rim strength reduces breakage rates compared to standard crystal
- Lead-free material meets current safety requirements without compromise on clarity
- Supplied in a pack of 24, suitable for stocking a bar or adding to an existing set
- Consistent shape supports uniform presentation across the floor
A pack of 24 suits most mid-sized restaurant bars or hotel lounges. For larger operations running multiple service areas, it is worth considering whether a greater opening quantity makes sense from the outset.
If you are building out a glassware range or matching these to an existing spirits menu, our team is happy to talk through what works in practice.
£37.74(£45.29 inc VAT)
The Libbey Embassy brandy glasses are a practical, no-nonsense choice for bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues that need reliable glassware capable of withstanding the demands of daily professional service. Each glass is formed from a single piece of glass, which removes the weak points typically found where the stem, foot, and bowl meet on traditionally constructed stemware. This makes them noticeably more resistant to breakage during the knock and clatter of a busy service or glasswasher cycle.
In a commercial setting, glassware takes a great deal of punishment. The Embassy range is designed with this in mind. The Safedge rim and foot guarantee provides additional protection at the points most vulnerable to chipping, which directly reduces replacement costs over time and helps maintain a consistent, professional presentation on the bar or table.
- One-piece construction eliminates traditional weak points at stem and foot
- Safedge rim and foot treatment reduces chipping during service and washing
- Dishwasher safe, supporting efficient turnaround during busy periods
- Consistent shape and weight across the pack for uniform presentation
These glasses are well suited to venues serving brandy, cognac, or similar spirits by the glass, and they work equally well as a versatile option for establishments that prefer a single balloon-style glass across several serves. They are sold in a pack of twelve, which suits most standard bar set-up quantities.
For venues with high cover counts or those running multiple bar stations, it is worth considering whether a larger pack quantity or a heavier-duty glassware range would better match your throughput and breakage expectations. If you are unsure which option fits your operation, we are happy to help you work that out.
£196.00(£235.20 inc VAT)
The Nude Vintage Cognac glass is a lead-free crystal balloon glass designed specifically for serving cognac and other aged spirits. The wide, rounded bowl allows the drink to be warmed gently by the hand, which helps release the spirit's aromas in the way a properly shaped cognac glass should. The crystal construction gives the glass good clarity and a noticeably lighter feel than standard glassware, which matters when glasses are being handled at pace across a busy bar.
In service, these glasses hold up well in a hospitality environment. Lead-free crystal is more robust than it looks, and the dishwasher-safe rating means they can move through a commercial glasswasher without requiring hand treatment, which is a practical consideration when you're running a full spirits menu or a cocktail list that includes aged brandy and cognac serves. Supplied in a pack of 24, the quantity suits a well-stocked back bar without over-committing on storage space.
These glasses are well suited to hotel bars, fine dining restaurants, and independent venues where presentation of premium spirits is part of the offer. They are not a high-volume pub glass — the crystal construction and the shape are aimed at settings where the serve is considered rather than rapid. If your operation turns cognac glasses through a very high volume of covers, it is worth discussing whether a more resilient alternative might serve you better in the long run.
If you're building out a spirits glass range or want to talk through quantities and styles for your venue, the team is happy to help you work out what suits your service best.
£176.00(£211.20 inc VAT)
These Arcoroc brandy and cognac glasses are a practical, no-frills glassware choice for licensed premises and hospitality operations. The wide-bowl, narrow-rim profile is the standard format associated with brandy and cognac service, concentrating aroma whilst remaining comfortable to hold — a design that has remained consistent in commercial use for good reason.
Arcoroc is a well-established glassware brand commonly found across the hospitality trade, from pub groups to hotel bars and restaurant operators. Their commercial glassware is produced to withstand the rigours of regular glasswasher cycles and the general handling that comes with busy service environments. These glasses are not fine crystal, nor are they intended to be — they are a reliable, cost-effective working glass suited to venues where consistency and replaceability matter as much as presentation.
From an operational standpoint, the 72-piece pack quantity makes this a practical purchase for operators stocking a new bar, restocking breakages in bulk, or standardising glassware across a venue. Key practical points worth noting:
- Wide bowl shape consistent with traditional brandy and cognac service
- Narrow rim helps concentrate aroma during service
- Glasswasher-safe construction for daily commercial use
- Pack of 72 supports bulk stocking and breakage replenishment
- Arcoroc commercial-grade glass for consistent durability
These glasses are well suited to pubs, hotel bars, restaurants, and members' clubs offering spirits by the glass. They are a standard-capacity option — operators requiring a larger bowl for premium cognac presentation may wish to consider a higher-capacity format from the range.
If you are specifying glassware across a new venue or have questions about which format suits your service style, our team is happy to assist.
£109.00(£130.80 inc VAT)
The RCR Cristalleria Alkemist goblet is a large-format spirits and brandy glass designed for hotel and restaurant use. Produced by the Italian glassmaker RCR Cristalleria, the Alkemist range is made from their eco-crystal formula — a lead-free crystal glass that combines high clarity with a lighter weight than traditional crystal. The faceted, diamond-cut profile catches and refracts light well, which suits venues where presentation at the table matters.
In a bar or restaurant environment, the 530ml capacity makes these suitable for generous brandy measures, premium spirits served with ice, or cocktails that benefit from a wide bowl. The eco-crystal construction gives the glass a clarity and ring that reads as quality to guests, without the fragility concerns associated with fine leaded crystal. They stack and handle well in a commercial wash cycle, though as with all crystal-style glassware, care during polishing and storage will extend service life.
Practical points worth noting before ordering:
- Lead-free eco-crystal construction — lighter handling than traditional crystal
- High optical clarity with a faceted cut that enhances presentation
- Suitable for brandy, premium spirits, and ice-filled serves
- Sold in packs of 12 — useful for matching par levels to covers
- Designed for hospitality use rather than domestic occasional use
These goblets are well suited to hotels, restaurants, and bars where glassware presentation contributes to the guest experience. They are a practical mid-tier option — more refined than standard bar glass, without the replacement cost of fine crystal. If you are equipping a high-turnover venue and are uncertain whether this style fits your service format, the team are happy to help you think through your glassware requirements.
£108.00(£129.60 inc VAT)
The Chef & Sommelier Arc Cabernet range offers a classic tulip-shaped glass designed for port, sherry, and liqueur service. At 70ml, the capacity is well matched to standard fortified wine and liqueur pours, and the tulip profile helps concentrate aromas in a way that a straight-sided glass would not. These are supplied in a pack of 24, making them a practical choice when stocking or restocking a service.
Chef & Sommelier glassware is commonly used in hotels, restaurants, and bars where a consistent, presentable glass is needed across a busy service. The Cabernet range is designed to balance durability with a relatively fine appearance — it holds up reasonably well to commercial glasswasher use without looking purely functional on the table.
- Suitable for port, sherry, Madeira, and single-measure liqueur service
- Tulip shape helps retain aroma in fortified and dessert-style pours
- Pack of 24 supports straightforward stock rotation
- Compatible with standard commercial glasswasher programmes
- Consistent sizing supports uniform portioning across a service
As with any glassware in a busy environment, breakage rates will vary depending on handling, glasswasher temperature settings, and storage practice. It is worth factoring in an ongoing replacement allowance when calculating your opening stock. For very high-volume or outdoor settings, a more robust or tempered alternative may be worth considering.
These glasses are well suited to restaurant and hotel bar operations, private dining, and any setting that serves fortified wines or liqueurs as part of a structured drinks offering. If you are unsure whether these suit your service style or volume, we are happy to help you work through the options.
£5.61(£6.73 inc VAT)
The Olympia Bar Collection liqueur and spirits glasses are a straightforward, well-made choice for bars and restaurants serving spirits, liqueurs, grappa, or aperitifs by the measure. Each glass is formed from crystal, which gives noticeably better clarity than standard soda-lime glass — useful when presentation at the bar or table matters to the operation.
The long, slender stem is practical for service staff and customers alike: it keeps hands away from the bowl, reducing heat transfer and smearing, and the proportions suit a clean, considered presentation for premium pours. At 100ml, the capacity is well matched to standard single and double spirit measures with appropriate headspace.
- Crystal construction for good clarity and a quality feel in-hand
- Slender stem reduces heat transfer and fingerprinting on the bowl
- Dishwasher safe, simplifying glass turnaround during busy service
- Sold in packs of six, practical for stocking a bar or replacing breakages
- Simple, clean lines work across a range of bar styles without looking out of place
Being dishwasher safe is a genuine operational consideration — crystal glassware that requires handwashing adds time and labour in a busy bar environment. These glasses are designed to go through a commercial glasswasher without issue, which makes them a practical rather than purely decorative choice.
For operations running high covers or high breakage rates, it is worth considering whether a heavier-gauge or more impact-resistant alternative in the range would better suit the volume. These glasses are well suited to mid-volume bar service where presentation is important but everyday practicality still counts.
If you are unsure whether these are the right fit for your bar setup or want guidance on quantities, our team is happy to help you think it through before you order.
£124.00(£148.80 inc VAT)
These Chef & Sommelier spirit glasses are designed for rum tasting and similar short spirit servings, including grappa and other liqueurs. Made from Krysta glass — a high-clarity crystal-substitute material — they offer the visual quality of fine crystal with greater resistance to the mechanical stresses of daily commercial service. The fine-cut rim is a functional choice: it reduces the intrusion of the glass edge during tasting, which matters in venues where the drinking experience is central to the offer.
In bar and restaurant environments, glassware is handled constantly — clearing, washing, racking, and restocking through every service. Krysta glass performs well under this kind of repeated use. It retains its clarity through commercial dishwasher cycles better than standard soda-lime glass, which tends to cloud and scratch more quickly. For a venue running tasting flights or a structured spirits programme, that durability has a practical impact on presentation standards and replacement costs over a full year of service.
- Fine rim supports spirit nosing and flavour appreciation during tasting
- Krysta material resists clouding and surface scratching under heavy daily use
- Suited to rum, grappa, liqueur, and other short spirit servings
- Pack of 24 provides a workable opening quantity for most bar setups
- Consistent clarity supports the presentation standards expected in fine dining
There are no installation requirements, but it is worth considering your glasswasher racking and storage setup before ordering in volume. Krysta glass, while more resilient than standard glass, benefits from appropriate racking and careful handling during washing to achieve its full service lifespan.
These glasses are well suited to restaurants, hotel bars, fine dining venues, and specialist spirits or cocktail bars where presentation is part of the offer and glassware turnover is consistent. For very high-volume venues where breakage rates are the primary concern, a polycarbonate or heavier-walled alternative may be worth considering alongside.
If you are building out a new bar or reviewing your glassware selection and would like a steer on quantities or suitability for your service style, the team is happy to talk it through.
£40.21(£48.25 inc VAT)
The Libbey Perception sherry glass is a commercial-grade stemmed glass designed for high-turnover hospitality operations. Each glass is mould-blown from a single piece of glass, which removes the fused joint between bowl and stem that is a common failure point in traditionally made stemware. The result is a glass that handles repeated use, stacking, and the mechanical stresses of a busy bar or front-of-house operation more reliably than comparable joined construction.
In practice, the single-piece construction makes these glasses well suited to venues where glassware takes a consistent battering — high-covers restaurants, wine bars, hotel bars, and function catering. Libbey's Safedge rim treatment reinforces the rim against chipping, which is where most stemware damage occurs during service and washing. The glasses are dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between sittings without requiring hand-washing.
Key practical advantages for operators include:
- Single-piece construction eliminates the stem joint — a common breakage point
- Safedge rim treatment reduces chipping during commercial dishwashing cycles
- Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround between covers
- Supplied in a pack of 12, suited to par-stock management
- Consistent bowl shape supports portion control for measured sherry service
These glasses are appropriate for most licensed hospitality settings serving sherry, fortified wines, or similar short pours. For venues with very high breakage rates or where glassware is handled roughly, it is worth considering whether a fully tempered or polycarbonate alternative would be more practical. The 12-pack quantity suits smaller operations or supplementing an existing par stock rather than outfitting a large venue from scratch.
If you are unsure how many packs you need for your service volume or whether this glass suits your specific menu, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£90.38(£108.46 inc VAT)
The Chef & Sommelier Cabernet range includes this tulip-shaped sherry and port glass, designed specifically for serving fortified wines in a commercial setting. The tulip bowl concentrates the aromatics of the wine while keeping the pour to the appropriate 120ml measure, making it a practical choice for licensed venues that want to present fortified wines properly without overpouring.
Manufactured in Kwarx glass — Chef & Sommelier's own high-resistance material — these glasses are noticeably more durable than standard soda-lime glassware. Kwarx is designed to retain clarity after repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, resisting the clouding and micro-scratching that tends to degrade cheaper glassware over time. For bars and restaurants that put their glassware through heavy rotation, that longevity makes a practical difference to running costs and presentation standards.
The 24-pack format suits venues that need to hold a full working stock, whether for a dedicated sherry trolley, a wine flight menu, or a well-stocked back bar. The tulip profile is traditional and understated — it works equally well in a formal dining room or a relaxed gastropub setting without looking out of place in either.
There is nothing complicated about specifying these. They are hand-wash compatible but perform well in a commercial glasswasher, and the classic shape stacks and stores without difficulty. If you are building out a fortified wine offering and want to discuss how many covers your stock should cover, or whether a different bowl size might suit your menu better, the team is happy to help.

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.
£117.00(£140.40 inc VAT)
The Luigi Bormioli Vinoteque sherry glass is a professional-grade stemware piece designed specifically for serving sherry and similarly styled fortified or aromatic wines. Part of a wider range shaped around individual wine varietals, the glass is proportioned to concentrate the characteristic aromatics of sherry, presenting them at the right height and aperture for straightforward tasting and enjoyment.
Constructed from SON.hyx ultra-clear, lead-free crystal, these glasses offer the clarity of traditional crystal without lead content — an important consideration for operators working to reduce chemical exposure in their service environment. The material is titanium-reinforced, which meaningfully reduces the risk of chipping and breakage at the rim and stem compared with standard glassware, and Luigi Bormioli rate the glasses to withstand up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without loss of clarity or structural integrity. For a busy wine bar or restaurant running two dishwasher cycles a service, that represents a substantial working lifespan.
- SON.hyx lead-free crystal maintains exceptional clarity throughout service life
- Titanium reinforcement reduces rim chipping and stem breakage in daily use
- Rated to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without degradation
- Shaped to concentrate aromatics suited to sherry and fortified wine service
- Pack of 24 provides a practical par stock for a full section or flight service
The 120ml capacity is consistent with a standard sherry pour, allowing accurate measuring without overfilling, which supports portion control and presentation consistency across a service team. At 8g, the glass is notably lightweight, which can reduce fatigue during extended service periods and makes handling and polishing straightforward.
These glasses are best suited to wine bars, hotel restaurants, and dining establishments that serve sherry, fortified wine, or structured tasting flights as part of a considered wine programme. The pack of 24 is a practical quantity for most service covers, though higher-volume or multi-outlet operations may want to review par levels accordingly. If you are building out a fuller range across multiple wine styles, the Vinoteque series covers a number of varietal-specific shapes that are worth considering alongside this glass.
If you are unsure which glass shapes best complement your wine list or how to structure your stemware range across a service, the team is happy to work through the options with you.

The Luigi Bormioli Roma 1960 rum glasses are a 450ml tumbler-style glass made from SON.hyx lead-free crystal, produced in Italy. The range takes its name and design cues from mid-twentieth-century glassware, featuring a cross-hatch embossed pattern on the lower bowl. They are sold in a pack of 24, which suits most opening orders for bar and cocktail operations.
In a working bar environment, glassware takes considerable punishment — repeated dishwasher cycles, knocks during service, and constant handling. The Roma 1960 glasses are designed with that in mind. Luigi Bormioli rate them to retain clarity and brilliance after 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles, which represents a meaningful service life compared to standard soda-lime alternatives. The SON.hyx crystal formula also gives the glass a lightness in the hand that staff and guests tend to notice, without sacrificing strength.
From an operational perspective, the key practical advantages are:
- Lead-free crystal construction delivers exceptional transparency and brilliance throughout service life
- Rated to withstand 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without loss of clarity
- Lightweight build reduces fatigue during high-volume service
- Embossed design adds grip during service and reduces slippage risk
- Made in Italy under consistent quality control, supporting reliable stock uniformity across packs
No special storage or handling requirements apply beyond standard glassware practice. The glasses are suitable for standard commercial glasswashers and do not require hand-washing. The pack of 24 is practical for most venues, though operators with larger floor capacities or high breakage environments may wish to hold additional stock.
These glasses are well suited to cocktail bars, hotel bars, restaurants with a considered drinks programme, and any venue where presentation matters alongside durability. They sit in the mid-range of the Luigi Bormioli catalogue — venues needing a more everyday, cost-driven glass may find simpler options appropriate, while those building a premium glassware range have options at a higher specification.
If you are unsure how many packs to carry or whether this style fits your existing glassware programme, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

These 120ml port and sherry glasses from Olympia's Bar Collection are a straightforward, well-made choice for bars, restaurants, and dining rooms that want clean, classic glassware without unnecessary fuss. The crystal-clear finish and simple lines suit a wide range of service styles, from traditional pub dining to more formal restaurant settings.
In practice, port and sherry glasses take regular handling — passed between staff and guests, loaded into glasswashers repeatedly through a shift, and stacked or racked during service. These hold up well to that routine. They're confirmed glasswasher safe, which matters in any busy operation where hand-polishing every glass is impractical.
- Classic straight-lined profile suits formal and informal service styles
- Glasswasher safe for practical, high-turnover service environments
- Sold in packs of six — practical for building or topping up stock
- Suitable for port, sherry, or other small fortified wine pours
At 120ml, the capacity is appropriate for a standard port or sherry serve and works for operators who want a dedicated, correctly sized glass rather than using a smaller wine glass as a substitute. The pack-of-six format suits venues looking to top up existing stock or set a consistent table cover without over-ordering.
If you're unsure how many covers to plan for or whether these sit well alongside other glassware lines you stock, we're happy to help you think it through.
£103.00(£123.60 inc VAT)
These 120ml sherry glasses from Chef & Sommelier are a practical choice for bars, restaurants, and hospitality venues serving sherry, port, or other fortified wines as a measured portion. The pack of 24 makes them a sensible option for operators who need a consistent stock of glassware without overpaying for individual pieces.
Chef & Sommelier is a well-regarded glassware brand within the catering industry, and their glasses are commonly specified for commercial use where durability through regular dishwasher cycles matters as much as appearance. The 120ml capacity suits standard sherry or fortified wine portion sizes, keeping pours consistent across service.
For operators considering these glasses, a few practical points are worth bearing in mind. Glassware at this volume tends to move quickly in stock, so having a reasonable reserve is sensible. The pack quantity of 24 suits most mid-sized operations, though higher-volume venues or those with large private dining programmes may want to order in greater quantity.
If you're unsure whether this glass suits your service style or you're putting together a broader glassware specification, we're happy to help you work through the options.
£131.00(£157.20 inc VAT)
The Chef & Sommelier Sequence range offers a contemporary take on the classic tulip-shaped sherry and port glass. Produced in Krysta, a lead-free glass material developed for commercial use, the Sequence glass is designed to retain the clarity and brilliance expected in a professional front-of-house setting while standing up to the demands of regular service cycles.
In a busy hospitality environment, glassware takes punishment. The Krysta composition is notably resistant to the clouding and micro-scratching that affects standard glass over time, making it a practical choice for operations running frequent dishwasher cycles. The laser-cut, flame-polished rim gives a clean, finished edge that holds up well in regular use rather than chipping as quickly as cheaper alternatives.
For operators, the practical advantages of this range include:
- Lead-free Krysta glass retains clarity through repeated commercial dishwashing
- Laser-cut rim reduces chipping risk during service and washing
- Tulip form concentrates aromatics, appropriate for sherry and port service
- Well-proportioned stem suits standard glassware racking systems
- Supplied in a case of 24, reducing per-unit cost for stocking up
The 210ml capacity is correctly sized for measured sherry and port service, making it straightforward to manage pour consistency. The glass is suitable for restaurants, wine bars, hotel dining rooms, and event catering operations where a presentable but durable fortified wine glass is required.
If you are equipping a larger venue or need guidance on matching glassware across a range of wine styles, the team is happy to help you work through the options before you order.
£9.05(£10.86 inc VAT)
These Olympia port glasses are a straightforward, practical choice for commercial bars, restaurants, and hospitality operations serving port, sherry, or other fortified wines. Each glass holds 150ml and is made from soda lime glass, the standard material used across most commercial glassware programmes.
The rolled rim is the detail worth noting here. In a busy service environment, glassware takes a considerable amount of handling — racking through glasswashers, stacking, collection from tables — and the rolled edge offers meaningful resistance to chipping at the most vulnerable point. This helps extend the working life of each glass and reduces how often breakages pull stock below usable levels during service.
- Rolled rim reduces chipping during handling and glasswasher cycles
- Glasswasher safe for efficient turnaround during service
- Soda lime construction consistent with commercial glassware standards
- Sold in packs of six, practical for topping up existing stock
At 150ml, these are sized for a standard port or sherry measure with room for presentation. They're well suited to traditional dining rooms, hotel bars, and any operation where fortified wines are a regular part of the drinks offering. Operations running higher cover volumes may want to consider holding additional packs to maintain adequate stock rotation through the glasswasher.
If you're unsure how many glasses to hold per cover or how these fit into a broader glassware programme, we're happy to help you work that out.
