Product Description
The Steelite Design+ Osteria glass is a 384ml polycarbonate wine glass designed for outdoor and high-risk beverage service where conventional glassware is unsuitable or not permitted. Made from polycarbonate, it is shatterproof under normal service conditions, making it a practical choice wherever broken glass presents a safety or compliance concern.
In operation, polycarbonate drinkware of this type performs well across rooftop bars, poolside settings, festival venues, and hospitality spaces with hard flooring or high footfall. The Osteria profile is shaped to resemble a standard wine glass, which helps maintain a more considered presentation than typical plastic alternatives — a relevant consideration when serving wine, prosecco, or cocktails in premium outdoor environments.
Practical advantages for operators include:
- Shatterproof construction reduces breakage costs and glass-in-product risk outdoors
- Polycarbonate material is lightweight, easing handling during busy service periods
- Suitable for venues where glass is prohibited by licence or site rules
- Consistent stemmed profile supports presentable outdoor wine service
- Supplied in a box of 12, practical for bar stock management
It is worth noting that polycarbonate drinkware is not suited to dishwasher cycles that use harsh detergents or very high temperatures over repeated use, as this can cause clouding or surface degradation over time. Hand washing or low-temperature glasswasher cycles will extend the service life of each piece.
This glass is best suited to outdoor hospitality operations, event catering, and licensed venues with restrictions on glassware. Operators with very high-volume outdoor bar setups may wish to consider whether a larger-format or higher-quantity pack is more appropriate for their throughput.
If you're unsure whether this format suits your service style or venue requirements, the team is happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Polycarbonate drinkware can be washed in a glasswasher, but it is best done at lower temperatures and without harsh caustic detergents. Repeated high-temperature cycles or aggressive chemicals will cause the surface to cloud over time, shortening the usable life of each glass. Hand washing is the safest option if longevity is a priority.
- Yes — polycarbonate drinkware is commonly specified for licensed venues where conditions require shatterproof alternatives to glass, including outdoor areas, festival sites, and sports hospitality. It is worth confirming with your licencing authority that the specific product meets their requirements, as conditions can vary.
- The Osteria profile is shaped to follow the form of a conventional wine glass, which gives a more considered look than flat-sided plastic cups. In practice, most guests in an outdoor setting will find the presentation acceptable for wine and sparkling service, though it will not replicate the clarity or feel of crystal or standard glass.
