Price Match

The Chef & Sommelier Soft Open Up is a 470ml wine glass designed for commercial front-of-house use. The wide, angled bowl is shaped to encourage the wine to open and develop in the glass, which can make a noticeable difference to how a wine presents to the guest — particularly relevant when serving varieties that benefit from air contact without the need for a decanter.

In a busy service environment, consistency matters. The bowl geometry makes it practical to pour to a standard 250ml measure, helping staff maintain accuracy during peak covers without relying on guesswork. Supplied in a pack of 24, the quantity suits section stocking, opening a new outlet, or straightforward replenishment purchasing.

  • Wide bowl encourages wine to open and develop without a decanter
  • Bowl profile supports consistent 250ml measure pouring during service
  • Clear glass suits all wine styles across formal and informal settings
  • Pack of 24 is a practical quantity for section stocking or top-up orders
  • Compatible with standard commercial glasswasher cycles and detergent doses

One practical consideration: the wider bowl diameter does take up slightly more space per unit in glasswasher baskets and on-shelf storage. It is worth accounting for this if your wash cycle capacity is already running tight. The glass is manufactured from soda-lime glass, so no special handling requirements apply beyond normal commercial glasswasher practice.

This glass works well for restaurants, wine bars, and hotel dining operations looking for a well-considered all-rounder. If you are equipping a larger operation or weighing up glass styles to match a specific wine list or service format, the team is happy to talk it through.

Frequently asked questions

How many glasses should we stock per cover for a busy wine bar service?

A general rule for busy wine bar or restaurant service is to hold three to four glasses per seated cover, accounting for turnover, breakage, and glasses in the wash cycle at any given time. For a 30-cover section, two packs of 24 is a reasonable starting point, though higher-volume or faster-turnaround operations may want to go further.

Will these glasses fit standard commercial glasswasher racks?

At 103mm in diameter, the bowl is wider than a standard red wine glass, so it is worth checking your glasswasher rack configuration before ordering in volume. Most commercial racks accommodate this size, but rack spacing and basket capacity will be slightly reduced compared to narrower stemware.

Are these glasses suitable for a self-service or casual dining environment?

They work well in both formal and informal settings, and the clear glass suits any wine style. That said, the wide bowl and standard soda-lime construction mean they carry a similar breakage risk to most commercial stemware — operators in high-turnover casual environments may want to weigh up whether a toughened or fully tempered alternative is more appropriate for their setting.
