Glassware

The Artis Fortius range from Onis is a line of stemmed wine glasses designed specifically for commercial hospitality environments where appearance and durability both matter. The 370ml capacity sits comfortably in the mid-range for a standard wine serve, making these a practical choice for table settings in restaurants, gastropubs, bistros, and wine bars.

The wide bowl shape allows the wine to breathe and gives front-of-house staff a confident, presentable glass to serve from. The finely edged rim provides the feel of a quality glass at the table without sacrificing the resilience needed in a busy service environment. Onis back the rim with their rim guarantee, which reflects confidence in the construction rather than just the material.

From an operational standpoint, these glasses hold up well in a commercial dishwasher cycle, which is the key practical requirement for any glassware used at volume. The build is engineered to reduce breakage compared to thinner decorative stemware, helping to keep replacement costs manageable over time.

• Durable wide bowl construction reduces breakage in day-to-day service
• Fine rim delivers a quality feel at the table
• Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround during busy service periods
• Onis rim guarantee provides added confidence in longevity
• Mid-range 370ml capacity suits standard wine serves across most menus

These glasses are well suited to mid-volume hospitality operations where you need a reliable, presentable wine glass that won't require constant replacement. For very high-volume sites or venues with rougher glasswasher cycles, it's worth considering whether a heavier-duty option from the wider range would be a better fit.

If you're unsure which glassware specification is right for your operation, we're happy to talk it through.

The Utopia Napa is a 580ml red wine glass with a generous bowl shape, fine rim, and a flowing stem. Made from soda lime glass, it offers good clarity and lets the colour and character of the wine show well in the glass — which matters in any setting where presentation is part of the service.

In a busy bar or restaurant environment, glassware needs to perform consistently wash after wash. Soda lime construction gives a reasonable balance of everyday durability and visual clarity, making these a practical choice for mid-range front-of-house operations where appearance and resilience both count. The 580ml capacity suits standard red wine pours with room in the bowl for the wine to breathe, which is appropriate for most table service and wine-by-the-glass programmes.

A few practical points worth noting for operators:

• Pack of 24 gives a sensible starting quantity for a section or bar station
• Fine rim profile contributes to a more considered drinking experience for guests
• Soda lime glass is compatible with commercial glasswashers in most cases
• Consistent sizing makes stacking and storage straightforward
• Suitable for table service, wine bars, and casual dining environments

These glasses are well suited to casual dining restaurants, hotel bars, and wine-by-the-glass operations. For high-volume venues or establishments where stemware takes particularly heavy daily use, it is worth considering a crystal or tempered glass option for added resilience.

If you are unsure how many covers this pack will realistically support, or whether this glass suits your service style and glasswasher setup, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

These Chef & Sommelier Absoluty old fashioned tumblers are a straightforward, well-made choice for bars, restaurants, and hotel operations serving spirits, cocktails, or soft drinks over ice. Made from Krysta crystalline glass, they offer the clarity and weight of crystal without the fragility associated with traditional lead crystal, making them a practical option for front-of-house environments where glassware takes a daily hammering.

In busy service, glassware earns its keep by surviving repeated commercial glasswasher cycles without clouding, chipping at the rim, or losing its clarity. Krysta is well regarded in the trade for holding up to this kind of throughput, and the weighted base on these tumblers gives them stability on trays and bar tops — reducing the risk of knock-overs during busy service periods.

From an operational standpoint, these tumblers offer a few clear practical advantages:

• Slim rim profile improves the drinking experience without compromising durability
• Heavy base adds stability, reducing breakage risk on bar tops and trays
• Krysta material resists clouding through repeated glasswasher cycles
• Consistent 250ml capacity suits standard spirit and mixer pours
• Supplied in a pack of 24, providing a practical opening stock or top-up quantity

There are no special storage or handling requirements beyond standard glassware care. For high-volume venues turning covers quickly, it is worth considering whether a larger opening stock would better suit your service rhythm — a single pack of 24 may be a useful starting point or a straightforward replenishment order.

These tumblers are well suited to bars, casual dining restaurants, hotel room service, and function venues. They sit in the mid-range of glassware durability and presentation — appropriate for most front-of-house settings where you need a presentable, reliable tumbler without the cost of a premium crystal range.

If you are uncertain about quantities or want to talk through glassware selections for a new opening or refurbishment, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Chef & Sommelier Cabernet Burgundy glass is a large-format red wine glass designed for operators who want to present wine properly at the table. With a 681ml capacity and a wide, generous bowl, it allows red wines — particularly Pinot Noir and Burgundy-style varietals — to open up and express their aroma. It is intended for service use rather than casual pourings, and the bowl shape is well suited to wines that benefit from air contact.

In a busy restaurant or bar environment, glassware takes considerable punishment. These glasses weigh 260g each, which gives them a satisfying solidity in the hand without being unnecessarily heavy for front-of-house teams clearing covers. The pack of 12 is a practical unit of purchase for most operators building or refreshing a wine glass inventory.

• Wide bowl promotes aroma development in red wines at the table
• 681ml capacity allows correct serving volumes with ample room to swirl
• 260g weight provides a quality feel without adding strain during service
• Clear glass allows guests to assess colour and clarity without distortion
• Pack of 12 suits standard cover counts and stock rotation cycles

These glasses are hand-wash recommended for longevity, though many operators do run them through commercial glasswashers — if you do, cycle temperature and detergent concentration will affect how long the clarity is maintained. Stacking and storage should account for the wide bowl diameter of 110mm, which means they take up more rack and shelf space than a standard red wine glass.

This glass is well suited to wine-led restaurants, independent bistros, and hotel dining rooms where the wine list is a meaningful part of the offer. If you are equipping a higher-volume venue or one that experiences significant breakage, it is worth considering whether a more durable or larger-pack format would be a better fit for your operation.

If you are unsure which glass format suits your service style or wine list, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The RCR Cristalleria Timeless double old fashioned tumbler is a 360ml rocks glass designed for spirit serves, cocktails, and soft drinks in commercial hospitality settings. Part of RCR's Timeless collection, the glass is characterised by its vertical ribbed lines that flare gently outward toward the rim — a profile that sits comfortably in the hand and presents cleanly on the bar or table. Supplied in a pack of twelve, it is a practical purchasing format for venues setting up a new bar section or topping up existing stock.

In a busy bar or restaurant environment, glassware needs to perform consistently through high-volume service cycles and repeated mechanical washing. The Timeless tumbler is a well-regarded choice in commercial settings, used widely across restaurants and licensed venues. The ribbed profile provides a reasonable grip during service, which is a practical consideration in fast-paced environments where glasses are handled quickly and frequently.

• Ribbed vertical profile aids grip and gives a distinctive table presence
• Suitable for spirits, cocktails, soft drinks, and water service
• Pack of 12 is a practical restock or initial setup quantity
• Widely used in licensed restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues
• Dishwasher suitable for use in commercial glass-wash cycles

As with all glassware intended for commercial use, it is worth reviewing your glass-wash chemistry and rack configuration to get the best service life from the collection. Venues with very high throughput or limited storage may want to consider ordering in larger quantities to maintain an adequate buffer against breakage.

If you are specifying glassware for a new opening or a full bar refresh and want to talk through quantities or suitability for your service style, our team is happy to help.

The Chef & Sommelier Exaltation range is a collection of sparkling wine glasses designed specifically for professional bar and restaurant service. Each glass features a flower bud-shaped bowl that narrows toward the rim, a flat stable base, and a laser-cut, flame-polished lip — the kind of finish that holds up to daily front-of-house handling without rough edges that can snag linen or cause discomfort for guests.

The defining feature of this glass is its effervescence treatment, applied to the interior base of the bowl. In practice, this creates a consistent nucleation point — a controlled release of bubbles that rises in a steady column throughout service. For sparkling wine, Champagne, or Prosecco service, this matters: it preserves the bead for longer, supports a more even release of aroma, and delivers a more consistent experience from the first pour to the last. It is not a gimmick; it is a well-established technique used across professional glassware designed for carbonated wines.

Made from Krysta crystal glass, the Exaltation glasses offer a level of clarity and brightness that reads well under restaurant lighting, and the material is durable enough for regular commercial dishwasher cycles when appropriate glassware detergents and rack systems are used. At 380g per glass, they have a solid feel without being cumbersome to carry in service.

• Flower bud bowl shape supports aroma concentration
• Laser-cut, polished rim for a clean drinking edge
• Effervescence treatment maintains a consistent bubble column
• Krysta crystal resists clouding and micro-scratches with correct care
• Flat stable base suits busy bar counters and tray service

This pack of twelve suits a bar, restaurant, or events operation looking to standardise sparkling wine service with a glass that performs consistently. If your operation runs high-volume banqueting or large-format events, it is worth considering how many packs you need to maintain cover during service and through the glasswash cycle simultaneously.

If you are not sure how many glasses to carry for your service volumes, or whether this bowl shape suits your wine programme, the team is happy to talk it through.

The RCR Cristalleria Tattoo Double Old Fashioned Tumbler is a 337ml rocks glass from RCR's Tattoo collection, which takes its design cues from bold, graphic body art aesthetics. The tumblers are made from RCR's Eco-Crystal — a lead-free crystal material that offers good clarity and a degree of weight in the hand, giving a more substantial feel than standard soda-lime glassware without the fragility of traditional full lead crystal.

In a bar or restaurant setting, a well-proportioned double old fashioned glass sees heavy rotation — used for spirits served over ice, short cocktails, and soft drinks in casual dining environments. The Tattoo design has a contemporary character that works well in venues where the bar aesthetic matters, from independent cocktail bars to hotel lounges and modern brasseries. The textured visual pattern adds interest without compromising stackability or grip for service staff.

• Lead-free Eco-Crystal construction with good optical clarity
• Contemporary patterned design suited to modern bar environments
• Robust enough for regular commercial glasswasher cycling
• Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for stock rotation and breakage cover
• Consistent weight and balance across the pack for uniform service presentation

These glasses are compatible with standard commercial glasswashers, though as with all crystal glassware, lower temperature and gentler wash cycles will extend their service life. The pack of 12 is a reasonable working quantity for a small venue or as a supplementary stock top-up for larger operations. For high-volume venues running multiple sittings or extended bar service, buying in greater quantities or holding additional reserve stock is worth considering.

The Tattoo range is well suited to independent bars, cocktail venues, hotel bars, and casual dining restaurants where presentation at the table or bar pass carries weight. If your operation demands a more classic or understated glass profile, other options in the catalogue may be a better fit.

If you're unsure whether the Tattoo range suits your service style or volume, we're happy to talk it through.

The Luigi Bormioli Bach gin goblet is a faceted, large-format glass designed for gin and tonic service in commercial settings. At 600ml capacity, the bowl gives plenty of room for ice, garnish, and a generous measure, while the faceted exterior catches the light and adds a degree of visual interest to the serve without being overly decorative.

These goblets are made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx material — a blown, lead-free crystal glass that offers the clarity and brilliance of traditional crystal without the fragility. The glass is titanium reinforced at the rim and base, which are typically the most vulnerable points during service and through commercial glasswash cycles. Luigi Bormioli rate these for up to 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without loss of clarity or structural integrity, which is a meaningful figure in a busy bar environment where glasses turn over quickly.

In practical terms, the combination of reinforced construction and dishwasher resilience means operators can run these through a commercial glasswasher with reasonable confidence rather than treating them as delicate items that require hand-washing or careful handling by staff.

• Faceted design presents well on the bar and in the glass
• Large bowl accommodates generous ice and garnish presentation
• Titanium reinforcement reduces rim chipping and breakage in service
• Rated for 4,000 commercial dishwasher cycles without degradation
• Lead-free crystal offers good clarity without the fragility of traditional crystal

These are well suited to bars, gastropubs, and restaurant bars running an active gin menu. For very high-volume venues turning over large quantities of glassware daily, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-weight option might better suit the pace of service.

If you are unsure which gin glass suits your operation or want to discuss pack quantities, we are happy to help you work it through before you order.

The Libbey Inverness is a 350ml draught beer glass with an unusually distinctive profile. The base is pentagonal rather than round, giving the glass a faceted, angular appearance at the bottom that transitions smoothly into a circular rim — creating the impression that the angular geometry continues all the way up the glass. It is a considered piece of tableware design that reads well on a bar counter without being showy.

Libbey treats the Inverness range with their DuraTuff process, which increases the glass's resistance to both mechanical and thermal shock — the two most common causes of breakage in a busy bar or restaurant environment. In practical terms, that means more resilience against the incidental knocks and rapid temperature changes that glassware experiences in everyday service. Should a glass break, DuraTuff construction encourages it to fracture into larger pieces rather than fine shards, which reduces both the safety risk and the time lost to cleanup behind the bar.

Key practical points for bar and FOH operators:

• DuraTuff treatment improves resistance to knocks and thermal shock
• Larger break pattern reduces fine-shard risk and cleanup time
• Pentagonal base provides a stable footprint on bar surfaces
• Fully dishwasher safe for standard commercial glass-wash cycles
• Supplied in a pack of 12, suitable for topping up or rotating existing stock

At 350ml, the Inverness sits at a half-pint capacity, which suits venues serving craft beer measures, tasting portions, or half-pint draught lines alongside full-pint glassware. It is not a full-pint glass, so confirm your serving requirements before ordering at volume.

If you are unsure how many covers or bar seats these will service, or whether a different capacity or style would suit your format better, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Utopia Grande tumblers are a straightforward, practical glassware choice for commercial hospitality operations. Made from super-toughened glass, they are built to withstand the repeated handling, racking, and mechanical washing that is part of daily service in a busy venue. Each tumbler holds 480ml, making them a versatile size across soft drinks, water service, and long mixed drinks.

Super-toughened glass is worth understanding before purchasing. It offers greater resistance to impact and thermal shock than standard annealed glass, and importantly, when it does eventually break, it fragments into smaller, less hazardous pieces than ordinary fully toughened glass — a meaningful safety consideration for any front-of-house team. In a high-throughput environment where glasses are stacked, transported on trays, and cycled through glasswashers multiple times a day, that added durability translates directly into reduced breakage costs and fewer service interruptions.

• Super-toughened construction reduces breakage frequency and replacement cost
• Safer fragmentation pattern when glass does break, supporting front-of-house safety
• Stackable design allows efficient storage where back-bar or shelf space is limited
• Suitable for mechanical glasswashing in commercial operations
• Sold in a pack of 24, practical for establishing or topping up a house stock

The stackable profile is a practical advantage in venues where storage is tight — whether that is a compact bar counter, a function room setup, or a mobile catering operation. Stacking also speeds up the process of moving glasses from wash to floor during busy service periods.

These tumblers are well suited to pubs, casual dining restaurants, hotel food and beverage operations, and contract catering environments. They are not a specialist craft-beer or fine-dining glass, but that is not their purpose — they are a dependable everyday workhorse. For venues that require branded glassware or specialist shapes, a different range would be more appropriate.

If you are assessing glassware quantities for a new venue or a refurbishment, our team are happy to talk through typical stock levels based on cover count and wash cycle times.

The Utopia Aspen is a toughened beer glass with a tall, narrow profile, available in a 280ml capacity and supplied in packs of 24. Toughened glass undergoes a heat treatment process that significantly increases its resistance to impact compared with standard annealed glassware. When it does break, it fractures into small blunt fragments rather than large shards — a meaningful safety consideration in any licensed venue.

In a busy bar environment, glassware takes a great deal of handling. Glasses are loaded and unloaded from glasswashers repeatedly, stacked behind the bar, and occasionally knocked from surfaces during service. Toughened glass holds up to this cycle of use considerably better than standard alternatives, which helps reduce replacement frequency and the associated cost over time.

The Aspen's slim form suits draught lager, craft beer, and half-pint service in venues where a cleaner, more considered look is preferred over a traditional dimpled or handled glass. Key operational points worth noting:

• Toughened construction reduces the risk of laceration injuries when breakage occurs
• Suitable for use in glasswashers under normal commercial cycles
• The tall profile stacks efficiently, helping to keep bar storage tidy
• Consistent glass weight and balance aids comfortable handling during service
• Relevant for venues operating under licensing conditions that require shatter-resistant glassware

These glasses are well suited to pubs, bars, and casual dining operations looking for a practical toughened option without moving to polycarbonate. They are best suited to venues with moderate throughput. Sites running very high-volume service across multiple bar stations may want to consider whether a heavier-gauge toughened option or a larger pack format better suits their operational needs.

If you're unsure whether the Aspen is the right fit for your service style or licensing requirements, we're happy to help you think it through.

The Olympia Solar wine glasses are a classically proportioned, tulip-shaped glass designed for everyday wine service in commercial hospitality environments. With a 175ml recommended serving line and a 245ml overall capacity, they suit standard house wine pours by the glass and work equally well for water service where a more refined presentation is required.

In practice, these glasses are a reliable choice for busy bars, casual dining restaurants, and banqueting operations where a clean, unfussy aesthetic is needed and throughput through the glasswasher is high. The classic profile keeps them versatile across a range of wine styles without being so specialist that they require careful segregation from other glassware stock.

Practical operational advantages include:

• Glasswasher safe, supporting fast turnaround during busy service
• Supplied in a pack of 24, reducing the cost per unit for initial stock builds
• Classic shape suitable for both wine and water service
• Consistent proportions that simplify service training and presentation standards
• Compact enough to store and rack efficiently in standard glasswasher trays

It is worth noting that at 245ml these are suited to standard 175ml wine pours. Operators looking to serve larger 250ml measures may wish to consider a higher-capacity glass from the range to allow adequate headspace. As with all glassware in high-volume service, breakage rates should be factored into stock levels — the 24-piece pack format makes topping up stock straightforward.

These glasses are well suited to pubs, wine bars, hotel restaurants, and event catering operations looking for a dependable, unfussy glass at a sensible price point. For very high-volume banqueting operations, it may be worth discussing bulk quantity options with the team.

If you are building out a full glassware range or are unsure how many covers a single pack will realistically serve, we are happy to help you work through the numbers before you order.

The Luigi Bormioli Speakeasy Swing is a stemmed cocktail and champagne glass from a collection designed to offer both a distinctive visual character and reliable everyday durability in professional drinks service. The faceted profile gives each glass a structured, considered appearance that works well across cocktail menus, sparkling wine service, and drinks presentations where glassware forms part of the overall guest experience.

These glasses are made from Luigi Bormioli's SON.hyx material, a lead-free crystal glass formulation that delivers strong clarity and good resistance to the knocks and scrapes that come with continuous bar service. The stems carry a patented titanium-reinforced anti-abrasion treatment, which addresses one of the more common points of failure in stemware used at volume — the kind of gradual surface damage from glassware racks and dishwasher cycles that dulls finish and weakens glass over time.

In practical terms, the collection is well suited to operations running high-throughput bar service where glassware cycles through frequently:

• Dishwasher safe and tested to retain clarity beyond 4,000 wash cycles
• Titanium-treated stems reduce surface abrasion from rack contact and repeated handling
• Lead-free crystal construction for good transparency without compromising durability
• Supplied in a pack of 24, suited to stocking a full service section or bar station
• Versatile profile works across champagne, sparkling wine, and cocktail presentation

The pack size of 24 makes it practical for building or refreshing a glassware inventory across a bar, restaurant, or event operation. These are not a heavy-duty workhorse glass for the roughest end of volume service, but they are a well-constructed option for operators who want a presentable, durable stemmed glass that holds up reliably through a standard commercial dishwasher rotation.

If you are specifying glassware across multiple stations or want to discuss quantities and suitability for your service style, our team is happy to help you work through the right choice.

The Schott Zwiesel Ivento champagne flute is a classic-profile sparkling wine glass manufactured in tritan crystal — Schott Zwiesel's proprietary material that combines the clarity and brilliance of traditional crystal with meaningfully improved resistance to chipping and breakage. First introduced in 2009, the Ivento range was developed with the Continental banqueting and events market in mind, where consistent presentation across large table covers matters as much as durability under repeated service cycles.

In busy service environments, the practical advantage of tritan crystal becomes clear quickly. These flutes can pass through a commercial glasswasher repeatedly without the clouding, dulling, or micro-scratching that affects lower-grade glass over time. For venues running high-volume reception drinks, wedding breakfast service, or regular private dining, that longevity translates directly into a lower breakage and replacement rate compared with standard crystal or soda-lime alternatives.

Key practical characteristics of the Ivento flute include:

• Tritan crystal construction — dishwasher-resistant and resistant to breakage under normal service conditions
• Tall, elegant profile suited to sparkling wine and champagne presentation
• Consistent clarity across a matched set, supporting uniform table presentation
• Part of a wider Ivento range covering red, white, and sparkling wine bowls — useful where a coordinated glassware programme is required

These flutes are sold in packs of six. For venues equipping a full banqueting suite or stocking a bar programme, it is worth considering total cover count and breakage buffer alongside the pack size. Higher-volume operations may find it more practical to purchase multiple packs to ensure adequate stock for peak events without running short during service.

If you are building out a glassware specification for a new venue or reviewing your current stock levels, we are happy to talk through quantities and range coordination before you order.

The Schott Zwiesel Mondial is a stemmed red wine glass made from crystal, designed to offer a balance of elegance and durability in professional service environments. With a 335ml capacity and a recommended serving size of 250ml, it provides a practical pour with sufficient bowl space to allow the wine to breathe and present well to the guest.

Crystal glassware of this type is a common choice for operations that want a noticeably finer feel than standard glass without moving into high-cost, high-fragility territory. The Mondial range is widely used across restaurants, bistros, hotel dining rooms, and banqueting operations precisely because it holds up reasonably well in busy service conditions while still looking the part on the table.

Key practical characteristics include:

• Crystal construction gives clarity and a lighter feel than standard glass
• Stem and bowl profile suited to red wine service and easy pouring
• 250ml recommended serve leaves a practical margin within the 335ml bowl
• Suitable for dishwasher use in commercial operations, though hand finishing is advisable
• Supplied in a pack of six, convenient for building or topping up cover sets

It is worth considering your breakage rate and storage conditions before committing to a particular glass. Crystal performs well in service but is not indestructible, and high-throughput operations such as contract catering or large banqueting suites may want to factor in the cost per breakage against alternatives. For lower-volume or more considered dining environments, the Mondial represents a sensible middle ground between quality and practicality.

If you are building out a full glassware package or matching across multiple wine styles, we are happy to talk through what works across your covers and service style.

The Utopia Joy cocktail glasses are a machine-made soda lime glassware range designed for front-of-house use in bars, restaurants, and casual dining venues. Each glass holds 500ml, making them practical for cocktails, mocktails, and long drinks served over ice. The vertical ribbed detailing gives the range a clean, contemporary look without being overly decorative.

Soda lime glass is the standard material for commercial glassware at this price point. It is robust enough for everyday bar service, compatible with commercial glasswashers, and straightforward to replace in quantity when breakages occur — which is an honest reality in any busy bar environment. The weight of each glass gives it a reasonable feel in the hand without being cumbersome to handle at speed during service.

• Ribbed profile adds visual interest without complicating cleaning
• Suitable for commercial glasswasher use
• Consistent machine-made production supports a uniform look across a full set
• Sold in a pack of 24, practical for opening stock or replenishment
• Soda lime construction keeps replacement cost manageable

These glasses are best suited to mid-market bars, pub dining rooms, restaurant bars, and event catering operations where a smart but unpretentious glassware range is needed. They are not a cut crystal or premium hand-blown option, so venues positioning themselves at the luxury end may want to consider a higher-specification range. For high-volume operations needing larger pack sizes or a heavier-gauge glass, alternatives are available.

If you are stocking a new venue or replacing an existing range, we are happy to talk through quantities and whether this glass suits your service style.

The Utopia Elysia carafe is a 940ml soda lime glass carafe with a vertically cut exterior profile, produced in a pack of six. It is designed for table water, juice, wine, and general beverage service in restaurant and hospitality environments where presentation at the table matters alongside practical durability.

Soda lime glass is the standard material for commercial carafes of this type — it offers a reasonable balance of clarity, weight, and resistance to the everyday knocks of a busy dining room. At 780g per carafe, the Elysia sits at a comfortable serving weight: substantial enough to feel considered on the table without being unwieldy for front-of-house staff to carry and pour from during a full service. The vertical cut detail gives the carafe a degree of visual structure that reads well on both formal and informal table settings.

Practical points worth considering for service use:

• Pack of six suits initial stocking for small to medium covers or as a top-up to an existing set
• Soda lime construction is suitable for standard commercial glasswashers
• The cut profile provides a natural grip when pouring
• Consistent sizing makes storage and stacking straightforward on back-of-house shelving
• Clear glass suits water, juice, and wine service without visual conflict

These carafes are well suited to cafés, bistros, mid-range restaurants, and event catering where a clean, classic glassware aesthetic is preferred. Operations running higher cover volumes may want to consider ordering in greater quantities to maintain adequate rotation through the glasswasher without running short during service.

If you are selecting glassware across a full table setting or want to confirm quantities for your covers, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Chef & Sommelier Open Up Tannic glass is a purpose-designed red wine glass with an angled bowl profile that promotes aeration as wine is poured. The shape is intended to soften tannins and reduce perceived harshness in full-bodied, structured red wines, allowing younger vintages to show better in the glass without the need for decanting. It is a practical choice for restaurants and bars where the wine list leans toward bold reds and service pace does not allow for extended decanting time.

In front-of-house use, the 550ml capacity gives a standard 250ml serve comfortable headroom for the wine to open up, which is relevant when guests are moving through a flight or tasting menu. The glass also includes a recommended pour line at 250ml, which supports consistent measures across a section — useful in licensed premises where portion accuracy is monitored.

• Angled bowl encourages aeration without decanting
• 250ml pour line supports accurate, repeatable measures
• 550ml capacity provides adequate breathing room above a standard serve
• Contemporary profile suits both casual and formal dining settings
• Pack of 24 suits a single section or a structured top-up quantity

A pack of 24 is a reasonable starting point for a single dining section or a smaller venue. Larger restaurants running multiple sections, or venues with high breakage rates, should consider whether additional packs are needed to maintain a workable par level across a full service without shortfall.

If you are building out a glassware range or matching this to a specific wine list, the team is happy to talk through what makes sense for your operation.

The Utopia Monte Carlo is a 450ml one-piece wine glass suitable for general table service across house red, white, and rosé. The drawn bowl construction means there is no separate stem-and-base join — the point where stress fractures most commonly develop in stemware that goes through heavy daily handling. At 270g, the glass has a considered feel in the hand without being awkward for staff carrying full trays.

In a busy restaurant or bar, glassware cycles through loading, unloading, polishing, and restocking across multiple sittings every day. The Monte Carlo holds up well in that environment. It moves through a commercial glasswasher reliably, and the bowl profile polishes quickly and evenly, which matters when front-of-house teams are turning tables at pace.

Practical points for operators:

• One-piece construction removes the most common breakage point in stemmed glassware
• Dishwasher safe and suited to commercial glasswasher cycles
• Clean bowl profile polishes quickly between covers
• 250ml serving fill sits comfortably within the 450ml capacity for straightforward portion control
• Pack of 24 suits initial stocking or topping up an existing set

As a glass product, the Monte Carlo is designed for indoor table service. It is not appropriate for outdoor areas or venues where polycarbonate is specified for safety reasons. Like all glassware in commercial use, attrition is ongoing — procurement is better planned as a regular replenishment item rather than a one-off purchase.

This glass sits well in casual dining restaurants, bistros, wine bars, and hotel food and beverage operations that want a clean, contemporary profile without moving into fine-dining crystal territory. For very high-volume sites with a fast replacement rate, it is worth considering whether a larger pack size or a more robust option would be a better fit for your operation.

If you're putting together a glassware range or want to check how the Monte Carlo fits alongside other pieces in your front-of-house setup, the team is glad to help you work through the options.

The Arcoroc Savoie is a stemmed wine goblet designed for commercial use in licensed premises, catering operations, and function venues. With a 240ml capacity and a recommended serving measure of 175ml, it provides a sensible pour with room to present the wine properly. The slender body and reduced-height stem give it a practical profile that works well in high-turnover environments — easier to stack in glass racks, less prone to stem breakage during service and washing than taller alternatives.

Arcoroc glass is produced for commercial settings rather than domestic use, and the Savoie range reflects that. It holds up reasonably well to the repeated thermal cycling of commercial glasswashers and the general handling that comes with busy service. The profile suits both table wine service and house-pour carafes, making it a versatile option across different styles of operation.

• Practical stem height reduces breakage risk during service and handling
• 240ml capacity with a clear 175ml headspace for correct wine presentation
• Compatible with standard commercial glass racks
• Suitable for glasswasher use in regular commercial service
• Available in a pack of 48, supporting bulk stocking for function and banqueting cover

The pack of 48 makes this a practical choice for venues building or replenishing glassware stock. It suits operations running regular function covers, set-menu services, or table d'hôte where consistent glassware across a large number of covers matters. For sites with very high breakage rates or outdoor and festival catering, alternative materials may be worth considering.

If you are unsure how many packs to order for your cover count, or whether this style suits your service format, the team is happy to help you work it out.

The Utopia Saxon is a champagne flute designed for commercial hospitality use. With a two-piece construction featuring a blown bowl, it offers a noticeably more refined appearance than standard economy flutes while remaining a practical, durable choice for front-of-house service. The taller profile presents champagne and sparkling wine well, which matters in settings where presentation is part of the guest experience.

In busy service environments — wedding receptions, hotel bars, event catering — glassware takes a considerable amount of handling. The Saxon is built to withstand regular glasswasher cycles without clouding or weakening at the join, which is often the first point of failure on lesser two-piece flutes. Supplied in packs of 48, the quantity is well matched to venues managing large table covers or event runs where breakage replacement stock is a practical necessity.

Key practical points worth noting:

• Glasswasher safe — suitable for high-frequency commercial washing cycles
• Two-piece blown bowl construction gives better visual presence than pressed economy alternatives
• Pack of 48 supports bulk stocking for events and high-cover services
• Clear glass suits any table setting without imposing a style direction
• Taller profile helps with portion consistency when pouring to a line

These flutes are well suited to hotels, event venues, restaurants with champagne service, and contract caterers who need reliable, presentable glassware in volume. For operators running very high-throughput events where attrition rates are significant, it is worth considering whether a heavier-duty or more impact-resistant option from the wider range would be a better fit.

If you are unsure about quantities or which flute best suits your service style, our team is happy to talk it through.

The Libbey Brilliance range is a well-established line of commercial stemware, and these 350ml wine glasses are among the most commonly specified in busy hospitality environments. Each glass is formed from a single piece of soda lime glass, which removes the joint between bowl and stem — traditionally one of the first points to fail in high-turnover service.

In practice, this construction matters. When glasses are being run through a commercial dishwasher multiple times per shift, stacked in racks, and handled quickly by bar and floor staff, the weak points in conventional stemware become a real operational cost. The Brilliance glasses are designed with reinforced contact points at the rim and foot — the two areas that take the most punishment in daily service — and Libbey backs this with a dedicated foot and rim guarantee.

From an operational standpoint, the key benefits for busy venues are:

• Single-piece construction reduces breakage at the stem joint
• Reinforced rim and foot for improved durability during heavy handling
• Fully dishwasher safe, supporting fast turnaround between covers
• Consistent glass weight and profile aids comfortable handling for staff
• Supplied in a pack of 12, practical for building or replenishing stock

These glasses are well suited to gastro pubs, wine bars, casual dining restaurants, and hotel food and beverage operations where glassware takes a hard daily shift. They are not intended as a fine-dining crystal alternative — if the presentation requirement calls for very thin-walled or lead-crystal-style stemware, a different range would be more appropriate.

If you are specifying glassware across multiple outlets or want to discuss quantities, pack formats, or suitability for your service style, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

The Royal Leerdam Experts white wine glasses are a mid-weight, fine-stemmed glass designed to present white wine well at table. Developed in collaboration with wine journalist Barbara Verbeek, the bowl shape is sized to suit classic white wine service, and the laser-cut rim gives a clean drinking edge without the fragility of hand-blown alternatives. Each glass weighs 120g, which sits in the practical middle ground — substantial enough to feel considered, light enough for comfortable handling during a full service.

In a bar or restaurant environment, these glasses hold up well under regular dishwasher cycling, which is the most important practical test for any front-of-house glass. The fine 6mm stem is more robust than it appears and is a reasonable choice for operations running a medium-paced cover count. For very high-volume sites turning glasses at speed across multiple sittings, a thicker-stemmed or fully tempered alternative may prove more durable over time.

Key practical points for operators:

• Laser-cut rim for a clean, consistent drinking edge
• Dishwasher safe for efficient turnaround between covers
• Fine stem adds a presentable look without excessive fragility
• 120g weight suits comfortable single-hand service
• Sold in packs of 6, practical for smaller par stock top-ups

These glasses are well suited to restaurants, wine bars, hotels, and function venues looking for a presentable, practical white wine glass at a sensible price point. They are not intended as a premium crystal option, but they sit clearly above entry-level catering glass in finish and feel.

If you are unsure how many covers to stock for or whether this glass suits the style of service you run, the team is happy to talk it through.

These Libbey Duratuff panelled beer tumblers are a straightforward, durable glassware option for pubs, bars, and hospitality venues serving draught or bottled beer at pint measure. The panelled profile gives them a traditional, robust appearance that works well in both classic pub settings and casual dining environments. Each tumbler holds 590ml, making them suitable for a full imperial pint pour.

Libbey's Duratuff treatment strengthens the glass against the knocks and thermal stresses that are unavoidable in busy bar service — glasses going from glasswasher to chilled shelf to table in rapid succession. In practice, this kind of treatment meaningfully extends the working life of glassware in high-turnover operations compared to untreated glass, reducing breakage rates and the frequency of replacement stock orders.

For bar and front-of-house teams, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Duratuff toughening improves resistance to both mechanical and thermal shock
• Glasswasher safe, so suitable for continuous wash cycles during service
• Panelled profile provides a secure grip, reducing slip-related drops
• Classic silhouette suits a wide range of venue styles without looking generic
• Supplied in a pack of 24, providing a practical quantity for restocking or opening a new site

Being glasswasher safe is important for any venue running a fast glass turnaround — hand-washing pint glasses at volume is not realistic during a busy service, and glassware that can't withstand regular machine washing becomes a liability quickly.

These tumblers are well suited to pubs, bars, gastropubs, sports venues, and any hospitality operation where a reliable, presentable pint glass is required in volume. They are a practical mid-range choice; operations with very high breakage environments or specific branded glassware requirements may want to discuss their options before committing to a quantity.

If you are stocking a new venue or replacing existing glassware across a site, we are happy to talk through quantities and suitability — feel free to get in touch with the team.

The Utopia Allegra long drink glass is a 470ml tumbler designed for everyday table and bar service in commercial hospitality environments. The profile is clean and contemporary without being impractical — the kind of glass that works equally well for water, soft drinks, or long mixed drinks without looking out of place on a well-dressed table.

In a busy service setting, glassware takes a hard knock: constant racking, commercial glasswasher cycles, and the general wear of high-volume covers. The Allegra range is built to a standard appropriate for commercial use, with enough weight at 274g to feel solid in the hand without being cumbersome for staff clearing and resetting covers quickly. The relatively straight, open profile makes these straightforward to rack and stack safely.

Practical considerations for operators:

• 470ml capacity suits long soft drinks, water service, and standard long mixed drinks
• Supplied in a pack of 24 — a useful base quantity for a section or a small venue's full cover
• Clean, unfussy silhouette suits a range of table styles from casual dining to smarter bistro settings
• Consistent sizing across the Allegra range makes multi-pack ordering straightforward as covers grow

These glasses are well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, bars, and function venues running a mid-range cover. They are not specialist cocktail or premium crystal glassware — operators looking for a higher-specification or lead-free crystal option for fine dining should consider alternatives within the range.

If you are fitting out a new site or replacing a full cover and want to talk through quantities or complement these with matching Allegra tumblers or stemware, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Utopia Vino wine glass is a 370ml soda lime glass marked at 125ml, 175ml and 250ml — the three measure points required for licensed premises serving wine by the glass. The glass has a rounded bowl profile and a broad, stable base, and is sold in packs of 24.

In a busy bar or restaurant environment, consistency of pour matters both for compliance and for cost control. The etched measure marks mean staff can serve accurately at pace without relying on judgement or separate measuring equipment. Soda lime construction gives reasonable clarity for the price point, presenting the colour and body of the wine well under typical front-of-house lighting.

• Measure marks at 125ml, 175ml and 250ml support licensing compliance
• Broad base reduces the likelihood of knocks and spills during service
• Soda lime glass offers good clarity at a practical replacement cost
• Rounded bowl suits a wide range of red and white wine styles
• Pack of 24 aligns with standard glasswasher rack capacities

At 166g per glass, these are practical everyday pieces rather than fine-dining crystal. They will handle regular glasswasher cycles well, though as with any soda lime glass they will show wear over time in very high-turnover operations. Operators running high-volume late-night venues may find a heavier-gauge glass better suited to their environment.

If you are unsure whether this glass is the right fit for your service style or volume, the team is happy to help you think it through.

The RCR Cristalleria Invino highball tumbler is a 480ml glass supplied in packs of twelve. RCR Cristalleria is an Italian glassware manufacturer with a long background in crystal production, and the Invino range is designed specifically to meet the everyday demands of commercial hospitality environments rather than domestic use.

In a bar or restaurant setting, consistency across a glassware range matters. The Invino tumbler offers a clean, unfussy profile that works across a range of serves — long cocktails, soft drinks, iced water, or mixed drinks — without the glass itself becoming a distraction. The classic silhouette is broadly suited to casual dining, hotel bars, and café operations where a versatile all-round tumbler is preferable to highly specialised stemware.

From an operational standpoint, buying in packs of twelve makes sense for most venues. Breakage is a routine part of service, and maintaining a consistent stock means tables can be dressed uniformly throughout a shift without resorting to mismatched alternatives.

• Versatile 480ml capacity suits a wide range of long drinks and soft serves
• Classic profile works across bar, restaurant, and café settings
• Pack of twelve supports sensible stock management and breakage replacement
• Clean design is easy to present and straightforward to store

It is worth considering your anticipated breakage rate and cover count when deciding how many packs to order. Higher-volume or late-night venues may find it more economical to hold a deeper initial stock. If you are unsure what quantity suits your operation, the team is happy to talk through what tends to work in practice.

The Olympia Cordoba is a 340ml tulip-style wine glass made from soda lime glass. Its shaped bowl — wider at the base and narrowing toward the rim — is well suited to white, rosé, and lighter-bodied red wines, where concentrating aromas toward the nose improves the drinking experience. The fine cut rim gives a clean feel on the lip without adding unnecessary weight to the glass.

The angular profile is a contemporary take on classic stemware, sitting comfortably in bistro, bar, and restaurant settings where operators want something a little more characterful than a standard round bowl. The stem length is practical — it keeps the drinker's hand clear of the bowl, which matters both for temperature control and for presentation during longer service periods.

For front-of-house operations, the Cordoba holds up well in regular service use. Soda lime construction gives it reasonable durability for day-to-day handling, though as with all fine-rimmed glassware, care during washing and racking will extend service life. The 160g weight sits in a comfortable middle ground — substantial enough to feel considered, light enough not to fatigue staff during busy service.

Sold in boxes of six, this glass is a sensible choice for smaller venues, private dining operations, or as a top-up stock option for higher-volume sites already running a larger quantity. If you serve a broad wine range across heavier reds as well as whites, it's worth considering whether a wider bowl format might complement it on the list.

If you're building a glassware range from scratch or reviewing your current stock, we're happy to talk through what works for different service styles and volumes.

The Arcoroc Islande is a straight-sided hi ball glass with a clean, unfussy profile that works equally well for long mixed drinks, soft drinks, and water service. At 310ml it sits in a practical mid-range capacity that suits most standard bar pours without excess bulk on the table.

Made from toughened glass, the Islande is noticeably more resistant to the knocks and thermal stresses of daily commercial service than standard annealed glassware. That matters in environments where glasses cycle repeatedly through glasswashers and are handled quickly during busy covers. The toughening process also means that when breakage does occur, it tends to be safer than untreated glass — a relevant consideration for any operator managing food safety.

For day-to-day use, the Islande offers a few straightforward advantages:

• Toughened construction handles regular glasswasher cycles without rapid deterioration
• Straight sides make stacking and storage efficient in tight back-bar spaces
• Consistent shape simplifies portion control for measured serves
• Supplied in a pack of 24, which suits opening orders and topping-up stock alike
• Neutral profile suits branded glassware programmes where the focus is on the drink

As with any commercial glassware, the practical lifespan depends heavily on handling standards, glasswasher chemistry, and storage conditions. Toughening extends service life but does not eliminate breakage, and operators running high-volume covers may find they need to cycle stock more frequently than lower-turnover venues.

The Islande is a sensible choice for bars, restaurants, hotels, and event caterers looking for reliable everyday hi ball glassware without unnecessary complexity. If you are fitting out a larger site or need guidance on quantities and mix of glass sizes, the team is happy to talk it through.

The Duralex Picardie is one of the most widely recognised tumblers in commercial catering. Made from toughened glass, it has been a reliable staple in cafes, canteens, brasseries and bars for decades — and its continued presence in professional kitchens is a reasonable measure of how well it holds up in daily service.

The 250ml size sits at the smaller end of the Picardie range, making it a practical choice for juice service, soft drinks, water, or as a side glass. The classic stackable profile keeps back-bar and shelf storage straightforward, and the toughened construction means it handles the routine knocks of a busy pass or glasswasher cycle without the fragility you'd expect from standard glassware.

A few practical points worth noting:

• Toughened glass offers significantly better resistance to thermal shock and impact than standard glass
• Glasswasher safe, which keeps turnaround efficient during busy service
• Microwave safe where drinks need to be warmed before service
• Stackable profile reduces storage footprint
• Sold in packs of six, which suits both initial stock and top-up purchasing

These tumblers are well suited to canteens, school catering, cafes and casual dining operations where durability and straightforward serviceability matter more than premium presentation. Higher-volume operations or those running larger drink formats may want to consider a larger size within the Picardie range to reduce refill frequency.

If you're unsure which size or quantity is right for your operation, the team is happy to help you work that out before you order.
