Spoonshine Wineshine GP5 Glass Polishing Machine

The Spoonshine Wineshine GP5 is a motorised glass polishing machine designed for bar and front-of-house use in commercial hospitality settings. Rather than relying on hand polishing with cloths or paper towels, the machine uses rotating brush sets to buff and dry glassware quickly and consistently, producing a streak-free finish with significantly less manual effort.

In busy service environments, hand polishing is one of the most time-consuming pre-service tasks, and the results can be inconsistent — particularly under pressure. The GP5 addresses this by mechanising the process, allowing staff to work through high volumes of glassware at a steady, reliable pace. Each machine comes with two full sets of brushes, so polishing can continue uninterrupted while one set is being cleaned.

The machine is designed to handle a range of glassware types through interchangeable brush heads. Common glassware including champagne flutes, highball glasses, whiskey tumblers, and pint sleeves can all be accommodated by selecting the appropriate brush configuration. This makes it a practical choice for venues with varied glassware across different service areas.

• Reduces pre-service polishing time and labour costs
• Delivers consistent, streak-free results without reliance on cloths or paper towels
• Interchangeable brush sets allow the same machine to handle multiple glassware types
• Two brush sets included for continuous operation during busy prep periods
• Removes the ongoing cost of polishing chemicals and disposable towels

Installation requirements are straightforward — the GP5 is a countertop unit suited to bar-back placement, and there are no specialist utilities required beyond a standard power supply. It is worth considering available worktop space and access to the machine during service when deciding on positioning.

The GP5 is well suited to restaurants, hotels, bars, and event venues where consistent glassware presentation matters and hand polishing has become a bottleneck in pre-service preparation. For very high-volume operations — large event caterers or high-throughput venues polishing several hundred covers per session — it is worth discussing whether the GP5 alone will meet throughput demands or whether additional capacity would be beneficial.
