Chef & Sommelier Sensation Exalt Wine Glasses 410ml (24 Pack)
£166.00(£199.20 inc VAT)
Delivery Information
Price Match
The Chef & Sommelier Sensation Exalt is a stemmed wine glass made from Kwarx, a proprietary glass material developed by Arc International. Kwarx is a lead-free crystal-style glass that combines the clarity and fine-rim finish associated with traditional crystal with significantly greater resistance to mechanical stress and thermal shock. The 410ml capacity suits a standard red or white wine pour with room for the wine to breathe in the glass.
In a busy restaurant, bar, or hotel environment, glassware takes considerable punishment — repeated machine washing, handling by multiple staff, and the occasional knock during plating or service. The Kwarx material holds up well under this kind of daily use, and the manufacturer rates these glasses to retain their clarity and brilliance through up to 2,000 professional dishwasher cycles. That figure matters in a high-turnover operation where glasses are washed and turned around multiple times per service.
A few practical points worth noting for operators considering this range:
- Kwarx glass offers better chip resistance than standard soda-lime glass at a similar price point
- The fine rim and shaped bowl make these suitable for table service where presentation matters
- Supplied in a pack of 24, which suits initial stock builds or replenishment orders
- The rounded bowl concentrates aromas, which supports wine-led menus or sommelier service
- Professional dishwasher safe — no specialist glassware cycle required
The stems are smooth and reasonably proportioned for comfortable handling during service, and the base is stable enough for tray service. These are not a lightweight, ultra-thin competition glass — they sit in practical mid-range territory that balances presentation with durability. Sites running very high covers where breakage rates are a constant concern may want to consider a more robust tumbler-style alternative; equally, fine-dining operations looking for a more delicate aesthetic may want to review the broader Chef & Sommelier range before committing.
If you're building out glassware stock for a new site or replacing an existing range, it's worth talking through cover numbers and washing cycles with us before ordering — we can help make sure the pack sizes and styles work for your operation.
Frequently asked questions
Are these glasses suitable for a high-volume bar or restaurant running multiple sittings?
Yes, the Kwarx material is well suited to operations with high glass-turnover, and the 2,000-cycle dishwasher rating reflects that. For very high-volume sites where breakage is a persistent cost, it's worth discussing whether a fuller case quantity or a more heavily built glass makes more sense for your specific throughput.
Can these be used in a standard commercial dishwasher without a specialist cycle?
Yes, they are rated as professional dishwasher safe and do not require a dedicated glassware programme, though using the correct glasswasher detergent and rinse aid dosing will help maintain clarity over time. Avoid stacking or overloading racks, which is the most common cause of chipping regardless of glass quality.
Is a 410ml glass the right size for a measured wine service?
The 410ml capacity comfortably accommodates 175ml and 250ml poured measures — the standard UK licensed trade serves — with adequate headroom for aroma and presentation. If your operation pours 125ml measures across a broader range of glass sizes, it's worth checking the full Sensation Exalt range, as different capacities are available.
