Product Description
The Luigi Bormioli Michelangelo is a crystal red wine glass designed for professional table service. With a 220ml capacity and a slender stem profile, it presents well on the table while remaining practical for everyday use in a hospitality setting.
Crystal construction gives the glass a clarity and brightness that standard soda-lime glassware does not match. For operators where presentation matters — restaurants, wine bars, private dining rooms — this translates directly into how a wine list is perceived at the table. The 175ml pour sits comfortably within the bowl, leaving appropriate space for the wine to be appreciated properly.
Sold in packs of 24, the Michelangelo suits establishments that need consistent, uniform glassware across a full section or service shift. Key practical points for operators:
- Crystal material offers superior clarity compared to standard glass
- Pack of 24 supports section-level restocking in one order
- Slender stem design suits formal and casual dining settings equally
- Suitable for both hand washing and commercial glasswasher use
- Consistent bowl shape supports accurate 175ml pouring
As with any crystal glassware, handling and storage procedures matter. Crystal is more susceptible to chipping and cracking than toughened glass alternatives, so it is better suited to table service environments than high-turnover bar settings where glassware takes heavier daily handling. Operators running very high-volume bar or pub service may find a more robust glass range a better fit.
If you are unsure whether this glass is the right specification for your service style or volume, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Crystal glassware can generally be run through a commercial glasswasher, though water temperature, detergent dosing, and rinse aid levels all affect longevity. Lower temperature wash cycles and correct chemical dosing will help maintain clarity and reduce the risk of etching over time. We'd recommend checking your glasswasher settings before putting crystal through on a standard programme.
- For a 175ml pour — the standard UK single measure for wine — a 220ml bowl works well, leaving enough space in the glass without appearing overfull. If your service includes larger measures or you prefer a more generous bowl for premium wine service, a larger capacity glass may be worth considering.
- Crystal offers better presentation but is less impact-resistant than toughened glass alternatives. In a table service restaurant or wine bar where glassware is handled carefully, crystal is a practical choice. In a busy bar or pub environment where glasses are stacked, handled at pace, or frequently replaced, a toughened glass range is likely to offer better durability and lower breakage costs.
