  • Pro: The classic Bordeaux shape genuinely improves the wine-drinking experience for guests.
  • Con: Its height means you'll need to double-check your glasswasher's rack clearance first.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Bistro in York was struggling with a collection of tired, mismatched glassware. They felt their excellent wine list was being let down by the presentation, so they decided to invest in a full set of Arc Cabernet Bordeaux glasses to create a more professional and  cohesive look.

"The difference was immediate. The glasses just look the part – our customers noticed and  commented on them straight away. They give our wine service a more premium feel, which is exactly what we wanted to achieve."

Ben Carter – Owner

The bistro noted a clear and  positive impact, reporting that sales of their higher-tier red wines increased by 15% in the first three months after the switch.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each glass for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Always run a full wash cycle in your commercial glasswasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue.
  • Check that the 216mm height of the glasses fits comfortably within your glass racks and  dishwasher with adequate clearance.
  • Store them on non-slip matting or in overhead racks to minimise the risk of accidental knocks and  breakages.

Keeping It Going

  • Load glasses into your glasswasher rack without them touching to prevent scratches and  chipping during the cycle.
  • Avoid 'thermal shock' by allowing glasses to cool gradually before filling them with cold liquids.
  • Use a microfibre or linen cloth for a lint-free polish, holding the glass by the base to avoid pressure on the stem.
  • Regularly check your glasswasher's rinse aid and  detergent levels to ensure a sparkling, streak-free finish every time.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glassware

Feeling a bit foggy on which glasses to choose? We get it. Here are a few pointers from our team to help you find the perfect fit for your business.

Volume vs. Venue

Consider your standard serving size. A larger glass like this 16oz one looks impressive, but make sure it suits your portions and  pricing strategy. An overly large glass can make a standard 175ml pour look small.

Durability is Key

Look for glasses specifically designed for commercial use. They're tougher, often with reinforced rims or stems, and  can handle the knocks of a busy service and  powerful commercial glasswashers much better than domestic ones.

Shape Matters

The bowl shape isn't just for looks. Wide bowls like this are for red wines to help them aerate, while narrower bowls for whites preserve their delicate aromas and  chill. Flutes are for fizz to keep the bubbles going!

Stacking and  Storage

Before you buy, think about your back-of-house. Tall, elegant glasses look fantastic on the table but might not fit in low-clearance shelves or standard glass racks. Always measure your storage space first.

Ease of Cleaning

Always check if glasses are 'glasswasher safe'. It's a massive time-saver for your team and, when used correctly, ensures a more hygienic and  consistently sparkling result than handwashing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these glasses suitable for both red and  white wine?

A: They are specifically designed for full-bodied red wines due to their large bowl, but could also be used for aromatic white wines like a Chardonnay. However, their primary purpose is to enhance reds.

Q: What does having a 'large bowl' actually do for the wine?

A: The large surface area allows the wine to mix with oxygen (aerate), which softens the tannins and  releases the full range of aromas and  flavours, significantly improving the tasting experience.

Q: How durable are they? Are they very fragile?

A: While all glass requires care, these are designed for the hospitality industry and  are more robust than typical domestic glassware, making them suitable for frequent use and  commercial washing.

Q: What is the recommended serving size for this glass?

A: The product data suggests a 250ml serving, which is a large glass of wine in the UK. The full capacity is 455ml, so a 175ml or 250ml pour will look excellent.

Q: Can I put these in my home dishwasher?

A: Yes, they are dishwasher safe. However, they are optimised for the faster, high-temperature cycles of commercial glasswashers.

Q: How are the glasses packed in the box?

A: They are typically packed in purpose-built cardboard boxes with dividers separating each glass to minimise movement and  prevent breakage during shipping.

Q: What is the Chef & Sommelier brand known for?

A: Chef & Sommelier is a highly respected French brand, known globally for producing high-quality, innovative, and  durable glassware for the professional restaurant and  bar industry.

Q: Will the glass go cloudy over time after many washes?

A: With proper care, correct glasswasher chemicals, and  a well-maintained water softener, high-quality glass like this is very resistant to clouding and  should remain sparkling clear.

More Than Just Size: How a Large Bowl Unlocks Your Wine's Flavour

Ever wondered why a good red wine glass has such a wide bowl? It's not just for show; it's all about science. Think of it like letting a stuffy room breathe. When you pour red wine into a large bowl, the increased surface area lets the wine mix with oxygen. This 'aeration' process softens tannins (the compound that can make wine taste a bit sharp or bitter) and  helps the complex aromas trapped in the wine to release and  develop.

In short, it lets the wine 'open up', just like a flower blooming. This means your customers get to smell and  taste the wine exactly as the winemaker intended—rich, smooth, and  full of character. It’s a simple design choice that makes a massive difference to the tasting experience.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Ideal for showcasing premium red wines and  adding a touch of sophistication to your table settings.
  • Wine Bars & Bistros: The perfect workhorse glass that combines durability for busy service with an elegant, classic design.
  • Hotels & Function Venues: Stock up for consistent, high-quality glassware for weddings, banquets, and  corporate events.
  • Upscale Pubs & Gastropubs: Elevate your wine service from standard glasses to something that truly complements a good bottle.
