Expert Review and  Insights

The 'Open Up' range is one of those collections that genuinely excites me. Chef & Sommelier didn't just create a different shape for novelty's sake; they engineered it for performance. It's a bold move away from traditional silhouettes, and  for any modern establishment, it’s a brilliant way to signal a forward-thinking approach to wine service. It’s both a talking point and  a functional tool.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Performance: The angled bowl genuinely improves aeration and  aroma for younger wines.
  • Niche Design: Its contemporary look might feel out of place in very traditional pubs.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Leaf restaurant in Harrogate recently revamped their wine list to focus on organic and  new-world wines. They felt their standard, generic glassware wasn't doing justice to the new selection and  wanted an upgrade that reflected the quality of their offering.

"Our old glasses were just functional. The Chef & Sommelier 'Open Up' glasses are part of the experience. They look fantastic, and  we can genuinely demonstrate to customers how the shape improves the wine. They're a brilliant conversation starter."

Michael Edwards – Restaurant Manager

Since making the switch, the restaurant has reported a notable increase in bottle sales for their premium-tier wines, directly impacting their bottom line.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully inspect all glasses for any chips or cracks that may have occurred in transit.
  • Always run a full cycle in your glasswasher before first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and  packing.
  • Ensure your glasswasher racks are correctly sized for a 103mm diameter bowl to prevent knocking and  breakages.
  • Handle by the stem to avoid leaving fingerprints on the bowl before service.

Keeping It Going

  • Use a high-quality glasswasher detergent and  rinse aid to prevent clouding and  ensure a sparkling finish.
  • Polish each glass with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to remove any water spots and  enhance its natural brilliance.
  • Store in an appropriate glass rack, either upright or hanging, ensuring there is enough space between glasses to avoid contact.
  • Regularly check for any small chips on the rim or base, and  remove any damaged glasses from service immediately.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glassware

Not sure which glass is best for your venue? Here are a few things to consider before you buy.

Match the Glass to the Grape

This 'Soft' glass is perfect for fruity, young red wines (like Merlot or Pinot Noir) and  aromatic whites. Fuller-bodied wines like Cabernet Sauvignon might need a larger, more rounded bowl from the same range.

Consider Durability vs. Delicacy

These glasses use Krysta technology, offering the best of both worlds: a fine, elegant feel with enhanced resistance to chipping and  dishwasher cycles, making them ideal for commercial use.

Check Your Storage Space

Before ordering a large quantity, measure your glass racks and  under-bar shelving. These glasses have a height of 226mm, so ensure they fit your existing setup to avoid headaches later.

Let Aesthetics Reflect Your Brand

Your glassware is a key part of your table setting and  brand identity. Choose a style, whether modern like this or more traditional, that complements your restaurant's overall decor and  atmosphere.

An Investment in Experience

Think of premium glassware not as a cost, but as an investment. A unique glass can enhance the guest experience, justify a higher price point on your wine list, and  encourage repeat business.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does 'Soft' in the product name refer to?

A: It refers to the style of wine the glass is best suited for—soft, fruity, and  young red wines, as well as some aromatic white wines, whose characteristics are enhanced by the glass's shape.

Q: Are these glasses made from crystal?

A: They are crafted from Krysta, a high-performance, lead-free crystal glass developed by Chef & Sommelier. It's known for its superior strength, lasting brilliance, and  acoustic clarity.

Q: Can these be washed in a commercial glasswasher?

A: Absolutely. They are specifically designed for professional hospitality use and  are completely safe for high-temperature commercial glasswashers.

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

A: With a total capacity of 470ml, they are perfectly designed for a generous 250ml serving. This leaves ample room for the wine to be swirled, which is key to its design.

Q: Is the rim fine or does it have a thick 'bead'?

A: The Open Up glasses feature a very fine, laser-cut rim. This enhances the tasting experience by feeling less intrusive and  directing the wine precisely onto the palate.

Q: Why is the bowl angled? It looks unusual.

A: The unique angle is the key feature. It acts as an 'aerator', helping to rapidly oxygenate the wine when swirled. This process releases more complex aromas and  flavours much faster than a standard bowl.

Q: Does the 'Open Up' range include glasses for other types of wine?

A: Yes, the 'Open Up' collection is extensive and  includes various specifically designed shapes and  sizes for different wine styles, including Tannic reds, sparkling wines, and  spirits.

Q: Are these glasses stackable for storage?

A: No, due to their elegant stem and  unique bowl shape, these glasses are not designed to be stacked directly on top of one another. They should always be stored correctly in a glass rack.

What Customers Are Saying

"Absolutely stunning glasses and  surprisingly tough for how delicate they look. They've been through our commercial glasswasher countless times and  still look brand new. A great investment for us."

Clara Evans – The Corner House Bistro, Cardiff

"Love the modern design and  how they feel in the hand. They really do open up the nose on a young Merlot. Our customers frequently comment on them, which is exactly what we wanted."

The Chef & Sommelier Difference: More Than Just a Glass

Choosing Chef & Sommelier glassware is about investing in a legacy of French innovation and  a deep understanding of oenology. This isn't just a vessel; it's a precision instrument designed to elevate the final product. The brand's proprietary Krysta material goes far beyond standard glass, offering exceptional resistance to the daily knocks and  stresses of a commercial environment. This means a significantly lower rate of replacement over the years, saving your business money and  hassle. Furthermore, presenting wine in such a distinctive and  technically advanced glass communicates a message of quality and  expertise to your customers before they even take their first sip. It justifies a premium menu, enhances the perceived value of your wine list, and  ultimately turns a simple beverage service into a memorable, high-margin experience.

What's the Big Deal with the Angled Bowl?

Ever wondered why some glasses have such specific shapes? The angled bowl on the Open Up glass is a masterclass in functional design. When you gently swirl your wine, that sharp angle acts as a natural 'breaker', causing the wine to fold over on itself far more effectively than it would in a simple, rounded bowl. Think of it like a mini-decanter built right into your glass. This action introduces oxygen to the wine much more rapidly, a process known as aeration. For a young, fruity wine that can sometimes be a bit 'tight' or closed-off aromatically, this feature is fantastic. It effectively fast-forwards the 'breathing' process, unlocking its full bouquet and  flavour profile in seconds, right before your customer's eyes.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Modern Bistros & Gastropubs: Perfect for presenting a modern wine list with glassware that enhances the tasting experience.
  • Contemporary Wine Bars: The unique design complements a curated selection of new-world and  young, fruity wines.
  • Boutique Hotels: Ideal for adding a touch of modern luxury to in-room dining, minibars, and  hotel lounges.
  • Event & Wedding Caterers: Use this durable and  stylish glassware to impress guests at weddings and  corporate functions.
