Spoonshine Wineshine GP5 Glass Polishing Machine

The Spoonshine Wineshine GP5 is a motorised countertop 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 GP5 uses rotating brush sets to buff and dry glassware quickly and consistently, producing a streak-free finish with considerably less manual effort than traditional methods.

In busy service environments, hand polishing is one of the more time-consuming pre-service tasks, and the results can vary significantly when staff are under pressure. The GP5 addresses this by mechanising the process, allowing a steady throughput of polished glassware at a reliable pace. Each machine includes two full brush sets, so polishing can continue uninterrupted while a set is being cleaned — a practical consideration during tight pre-service windows.

The machine handles a range of glassware through interchangeable brush heads, making it suitable for venues running multiple glass types across different service areas. Champagne flutes, highball glasses, tumblers, and pint sleeves can all be accommodated by selecting the appropriate configuration.

• Mechanises pre-service polishing, reducing labour time and effort significantly
• Interchangeable brush sets handle multiple glassware types from one machine
• Two brush sets included for uninterrupted operation during prep periods
• Removes ongoing reliance on polishing cloths, chemicals, or disposable towels
• Consistent results regardless of staff experience or time pressure

The GP5 requires only a standard power supply and no specialist installation. It is a straightforward bar-back placement, though it is worth thinking through worktop space and how accessible the machine will be during service before committing to a position.

This model is well suited to restaurants, hotels, bars, and event venues where glassware presentation is a priority and hand polishing has become a bottleneck. For very high-volume operations polishing several hundred covers per session, it is worth considering whether a single unit will meet throughput requirements or whether additional capacity would be more practical.

If you would like to talk through how the GP5 would fit your service volumes and glassware range, the team is glad to help you think it through.
