Product Description
The Chef & Sommelier Open Up range is a line of glass wine glasses designed around an angled bowl profile. The geometry of the bowl is intended to promote aeration as wine sits in the glass, which gradually softens acidity and tannins without requiring a separate decanting step. The recommended serving measure of 250ml sits comfortably within the 370ml capacity, giving service staff a clear visual reference for consistent pours.
In a busy restaurant or bar environment, consistency across a table matters. Because the angled bowl makes the 250ml line reasonably intuitive to hit, over-pouring tends to reduce during high-volume service — a practical advantage when margins on wine are tight. The glasses are made from clear glass and present well under both natural and artificial lighting, which suits dining rooms where presentation is part of the experience.
- Angled bowl promotes natural aeration without decanting
- Clear 250ml visual reference helps consistent pouring during service
- Contemporary profile suitable for mid-range to premium dining settings
- Pack of 24 provides a practical opening stock for a single section
- Glass construction maintains clarity and presentation over regular service cycles
As with all glassware in a commercial setting, breakage rate and dishwasher compatibility are worth considering before committing to a large opening order. Glass is more vulnerable to thermal shock than some alternatives, so checking your dishwasher's cycle temperatures and ensuring adequate storage racking is sensible housekeeping. The pack of 24 is a reasonable starting quantity for a single section or private dining room, though larger operations will typically want to hold additional stock to cover breakages.
This glass is well suited to restaurants, wine bars, and hotel dining rooms where the wine list is a meaningful part of the offer. If you are equipping a very high-turnover venue where rapid table turns and frequent washing cycles are the norm, it is worth discussing whether a more robust specification would serve you better in the long run. The team is happy to help you work through what makes sense for your operation before you place an order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- For a single restaurant section or private dining room, 24 glasses is a reasonable starting point, but most operators choose to hold a buffer stock to cover inevitable breakages during service and washing cycles. For larger or higher-turnover venues, ordering multiples of this pack from the outset tends to be more cost-effective than restocking reactively.
- Glass is generally compatible with commercial glasswashers, but thermal shock from very high wash temperatures or inadequate rinse-aid dosing can increase breakage rates over time. It is worth checking your machine's cycle settings and ensuring glasses are racked securely rather than stacked or overcrowded during washing.
- The Open Up bowl is designed as a versatile all-round wine glass rather than a style-specific shape, making it practical for venues serving a mixed list of reds and whites. For operations with a wine programme that leans heavily on particular varietals, it is worth discussing whether a more tailored bowl shape would add value for your guests.
