Expert Review and  Insights

The Chef & Sommelier 'Open Up' range is a modern classic for a reason. The Tannic model is particularly impressive, taking the science of wine tasting and  packaging it in a sleek, durable form. It's not just a glass; it's a tool that actively improves the wine for the customer. For any establishment serious about its red wine programme, this is a brilliant choice.

Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →

  • Pro: The aeration effect is immediate and  genuinely enhances bold red wines.
  • Con: Its modern, angular design may clash with traditional, rounded glassware collections.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

A contemporary steakhouse in Bristol, 'The Ash Quay Grill', decided to overhaul its entire glassware selection to better complement its extensive list of New World red wines. They needed something modern, durable, and  functional that could do justice to their powerful Shiraz and  Cabernet Sauvignon offerings.

"We switched to the Chef & Sommelier Tannic glasses six months ago, and  the feedback from both staff and  customers has been fantastic. They feel substantial and  look stunning on the table. More importantly, they genuinely make our best wines taste even better. It's a small change that has made a big impact on the overall dining experience."

Robert Miller – General Manager

The restaurant reported a noticeable uptick in customer satisfaction regarding their wine service and  saw a subsequent 10% increase in bottle sales of their premium-tier red wines.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Use and  Setup

  • Always wash new glasses before first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and  packing.
  • When loading into a glasswasher, ensure glasses are not touching to prevent scratches or cracks during the cycle.
  • Use a high-quality rinse aid to prevent water spots and  ensure a sparkling finish.
  • Handle with care; while durable, Krysta glass is not indestructible. Avoid thermal shock by not pouring cold liquids into hot glasses.

Keeping Them Perfect

  • Regularly check your glasswasher's temperature and  detergent levels for optimal cleaning performance.
  • If polishing by hand, hold the glass by the bowl, not the stem or base, to minimise the risk of snapping.
  • Use a microfibre polishing cloth to avoid lint and  achieve a crystal-clear, smudge-free finish.
  • Store glasses upright in a secure, dust-free area to protect the delicate rims from chipping.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Wine Glass

Not sure which glass is right for your establishment? Here are a few tips to help you decide.

Match the Glass to the Wine

Different shapes enhance different wines. Large bowls like this are for bold reds, while narrower bowls suit aromatic whites, and  flutes preserve the bubbles in sparkling wine.

Consider Durability

In a commercial setting, look for materials like Krysta or toughened glass. They resist chipping and  breakage better than standard glass, saving you money in the long run.

Check Capacity and  Pour Lines

Ensure the glass capacity is suitable for your standard serving sizes (e.g., 175ml, 250ml). A larger bowl allows for proper aeration even with a large pour.

Think About Feel and  Aesthetics

The weight, balance, and  look of a glass contribute to the overall customer experience. A fine rim and  brilliant clarity often signal a higher quality establishment.

Confirm Washer Compatibility

Always choose glasses that are certified as commercial glasswasher safe. This ensures they can withstand high temperatures and  detergents without degrading.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these glasses suitable for other types of wine?

A: While designed for tannic reds, their large bowl is also excellent for other full-bodied red wines. However, they are not ideal for delicate white wines or sparkling varieties.

Q: What is Krysta glass?

A: Krysta is a high-performance, lead-free crystal glass developed by Chef & Sommelier. It's known for its superior strength, lasting brilliance, and  perfect acoustics (the 'ping' sound).

Q: Will the 'Open Up' shape fit in a standard glasswasher rack?

A: Yes, with a maximum width of 107mm, these glasses are designed to fit in most standard commercial glasswasher racks. Just ensure they have space and  aren't touching.

Q: Do these glasses have a pouring line mark?

A: No, these professional glasses do not have a marked pouring line, allowing for trained staff to pour by eye to the widest point of the bowl for optimal aeration.

Q: Can I buy these glasses individually?

A: These glasses are sold in a trade pack of 24, which is ideal for professional establishments ensuring consistency and  providing spares.

Q: How does the fine rim improve the experience?

A: A thin, polished rim feels more delicate on the lips and  doesn't obstruct the flow of wine, allowing the taster to focus entirely on the wine's texture and  flavour profile.

Q: Are the bases of these glasses completely flat?

A: Yes, they feature a perfectly flat base. This provides excellent stability and  prevents a puddle of water from collecting on top after being washed upside down.

Q: Is the glass perfectly clear?

A: Absolutely. The Krysta material offers complete transparency and  long-lasting brilliance, ensuring the true colour of the wine is not distorted.

What Customers Are Saying

"Absolutely brilliant glasses. They look incredibly smart and  are surprisingly tough. We've had far fewer breakages compared to our old set, and  they really do make a difference to a good Malbec."

Claire Thompson – The Corner Bistro, Manchester

"Our wine club members love these. The shape is a real conversation starter, and  it's perfect for our tasting sessions with big, bold reds. They come out of the glasswasher sparkling every time."

Ben Carter – The Edinburgh Wine Society

Why the 'Open Up' Shape Unlocks So Much Flavour

Ever wondered why a wine can taste different from one glass to another? The 'Open Up' design on these Tannic Wine Glasses is a perfect example of oenology in action. Think of a young, powerful red wine like a tightly coiled spring of flavours and  aromas. This glass is designed to let that spring uncoil. The wide, flat base creates a huge surface area, maximising contact between the wine and  the air. This process, called aeration, rapidly softens the wine's tannins (the compounds that can make it taste bitter or 'tight') and  allows the complex fruity and  spicy notes to emerge. The sharp angle then acts as a 'breaker', further agitating the wine as you swirl it, before the narrower chimney funnels all those newly released, wonderful aromas directly to your nose. It's like fast-forwarding the decanting process right in your glass.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: Elevate your premium red wine service and  impress diners with glassware that matches your culinary standards.
  • Specialist Wine Bars: Showcase your collection of robust reds, from Malbec to Bordeaux, in a glass designed to unlock their full potential.
  • Boutique Hotels: Offer a sophisticated in-room or bar experience that signals quality and  attention to detail for discerning guests.
  • Corporate Event Venues: Provide a high-end, modern glassware solution for weddings, conferences, and  banquets that stands out from the standard.
