Spoonshine Wineshine GP5 Glass Polishing Machine

The Spoonshine Wineshine GP5 is a motorised countertop glass polishing machine intended for bar and front-of-house use in commercial hospitality settings. Rather than relying on staff polishing by hand with cloths, the GP5 uses rotating brush sets to buff and dry glassware quickly and consistently, producing a streak-free finish with considerably less manual effort and more reliable results.

Hand polishing is one of the more time-consuming pre-service tasks in a busy bar or restaurant, and quality tends to vary when staff are under pressure. The GP5 mechanises the process, allowing a steady, repeatable throughput of polished glassware in the run-up to service. Two full brush sets are included with each machine, so polishing can continue without interruption while one set is being cleaned — a practical consideration during tight turnarounds.

The machine accepts interchangeable brush heads to accommodate different glassware profiles, making it suitable for venues running a variety of glass types across different service areas. Champagne flutes, highball glasses, tumblers, and pint sleeves can all be handled by selecting the appropriate configuration.

• Mechanises pre-service polishing, reducing manual labour and inconsistency
• Interchangeable brush heads handle multiple glassware types from one unit
• Two brush sets included, allowing uninterrupted operation during changeover
• Eliminates ongoing reliance on polishing cloths 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 considering available worktop space and access during service before settling on a position.

This model is well suited to restaurants, hotels, bars, and event venues where glassware presentation matters 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 comfortably meet throughput requirements, or whether additional capacity would be more practical.
