Product Description
The Chef & Sommelier Open Up Tannic glass is designed specifically for full-bodied, tannic red wines. The angled bowl shape encourages aeration as the wine is poured, helping to soften tannins and smooth acidity more quickly than a standard red wine glass. This means guests can enjoy younger, more structured wines without the harshness that often comes from serving them too soon after opening.
In a busy restaurant or bar environment, glassware needs to work consistently across every cover. These glasses are practical to handle during service, stack efficiently in a glasswasher, and the generous 550ml capacity allows a standard 250ml serve with enough headroom for the wine to breathe in the glass. The recommended pour line at 250ml also supports accurate, consistent measures — useful wherever portion control matters.
Key practical points for front-of-house use:
- Angled bowl promotes aeration without decanting
- 250ml recommended serve sits well within the 550ml capacity
- Supplied in a pack of 24, suitable for mid-sized restaurant par stock
- Glass construction — handle and store with standard commercial glasswasher care
- Contemporary profile suits modern table settings across casual and formal dining
A pack of 24 is a practical starting quantity for a single section or as a top-up to existing stock. For larger operations or venues running multiple dining areas, it is worth considering whether a higher quantity is needed to maintain adequate par levels through a full service.
If you are unsure whether this glass suits your wine list or front-of-house setup, our team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a single dining section running two turns, 24 glasses is a reasonable starting par, though breakage and glasswasher turnaround times should factor into your calculation. Larger operations or venues with multiple sections will generally want to hold more stock to avoid running short during peak service.
- Yes, they are compatible with standard commercial glasswasher cycles. As with all stemware, using a dedicated glass rack and ensuring correct water softener settings will help extend the life of the glasses and maintain clarity over repeated washes.
- The bowl shape encourages aeration as the wine is poured and as it sits in the glass, which can noticeably reduce the sharpness of younger tannic reds within a few minutes. For wine-focused operations looking to serve structured reds by the glass without always relying on a decanter, this is a useful practical consideration.
