Chef & Sommelier Soft Open Up Wine Glasses 470ml (Pack of 24)

The Chef & Sommelier Soft Open Up is a 470ml wine glass designed for commercial bar and restaurant use. The wide, angled bowl is shaped to allow wine to open and develop in the glass, which can make a noticeable difference to how a wine presents to the guest — particularly useful when serving wines that benefit from a little air contact without the wait of a decanter.

In a busy service environment, consistency matters. The bowl geometry makes it straightforward to pour to a standard 250ml measure, which helps staff maintain accuracy during peak covers without relying on guesswork. The glass is supplied in a pack of 24, making it a practical quantity for stocking a section or topping up an existing set.

A few practical points worth considering for front-of-house teams:

• Wide bowl supports standard 250ml serving measures with a visible fill level
• Angled bowl profile allows controlled pouring and confident presentation
• Pack of 24 suits section stocking or replenishment purchasing
• Clear glass suits all wine styles and works across formal and informal settings
• Sourced from an established glassware manufacturer with a broad commercial range

As with any wide-bowl glass, the larger diameter does mean slightly more rack space per unit, which is worth factoring in if your glasswasher baskets are already running full. The glass is manufactured from standard soda-lime glass, so normal commercial glasswasher temperatures and detergent doses apply.

This glass works well for restaurants, wine bars, and hotel dining operations looking for a well-considered all-rounder at a practical price point. If you are equipping a larger operation or need guidance on quantities or glass styles for a specific menu, the team is happy to talk it through before you order.
