Product Description
The nonic pint glass is one of the most familiar and enduring glass shapes in UK hospitality. Utopia's 570ml nonic features the characteristic bulge near the rim that gives the style its name — a practical detail that improves grip, reduces chipping at the rim, and allows glasses to be stacked without sticking. These are CE marked to the 20oz brim measure, making them suitable for licensed premises where measure compliance is a legal requirement.
What sets this version apart from a standard nonic is Utopia's Activator Max nucleation. A laser-etched pattern on the inside base of the glass creates a continuous stream of fine bubbles, which sustains the head on draught beers, ciders and lagers throughout the drink. In a busy bar environment this makes a visible difference to presentation, particularly on ales and keg products where head retention matters to the customer experience.
For day-to-day service, the practical advantages are straightforward:
- CE marked for legal compliance at the pint measure in licensed venues
- Nucleated base sustains head and effervescence from first pour to last sip
- Nonic profile resists rim chipping during handling and glasswash cycles
- Classic shape works across draught beer, cider, lager and ale service
- Pack of 48 provides a practical opening stock for most bar setups
Being standard glass, these will perform well in commercial glasswashers. As with all glassware in high-turnover environments, handling practices and rack configuration in the glasswasher will affect longevity. There is no special storage requirement beyond standard glassware care.
A pack of 48 is a sensible quantity for a single bar station or as a top-up stock for an established venue. Higher-volume operations running multiple bar points may want to consider ordering in greater quantities to ensure adequate rotation without running short during service.
If you are unsure how many glasses your operation needs or want to discuss glassware options across your venue, the team is happy to help you work it out before you order.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, standard commercial glasswashers are suitable for these glasses. Using the correct rack type for pint glasses and ensuring appropriate detergent and rinse aid dosing will help maintain clarity and extend the working life of the glassware.
- No. The nucleation is etched on the inside base of the glass and does not interfere with the CE brim measure marking near the top. The glasses remain compliant for licensed draught service at the 20oz pint measure.
- A common rule of thumb for a busy bar is to hold three to four times the number of covers served per session, to allow for glasses in use, glasses being washed, and a buffer during peak periods. For a single busy bar point, 48 glasses is a reasonable starting stock, though high-volume venues often order additional packs to maintain rotation without shortfall.
