  • Real-World Durability: The strengthened rim and  seamless build hold up exceptionally well to daily use.
  • Not CE Marked: You'll need to use a separate measure for legally required pours.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Inn, a bustling gastropub in York, was struggling with the high cost of replacing their delicate, easily-chipped wine glasses. They needed a more robust solution that didn't sacrifice the premium feel their customers expected. They decided to switch to the Libbey CW965 wine glasses.

"The difference was noticeable almost immediately. They look fantastic on the table, but more importantly, they just don't chip like our old ones did. The staff have more confidence handling them during a busy shift, and  our breakages have dropped significantly."

David Chen – General Manager

After three months, the inn reported a 40% reduction in their monthly glassware replacement budget, allowing them to reinvest in other areas of the business.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Upon delivery, carefully unpack and  inspect each glass for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
  • Before first use, run the glasses through a wash cycle to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and  packing.
  • Ensure your glasswasher rinse aid and  detergent levels are appropriate for glassware to prevent clouding.

Keeping It Going

  • When loading into a glasswasher, ensure glasses are not touching to prevent scratching and  breakages.
  • Avoid 'thermal shock' by not pouring ice-cold liquid into a glass straight from a hot wash cycle.
  • Polish with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth for a sparkling, professional finish.
  • While durable, it's best practice not to stack wine glasses as this can cause fine scratches and  stress the rim.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Wine Glasses

Struggling to find the perfect glass for your establishment? Here’s a few pointers to help you decide.

Capacity vs. Pour Size

Always match the glass capacity to your standard serving sizes. These commercial wine glasses 240ml are ideal for a 175ml pour, leaving room for the wine to breathe.

Durability is Key

In a busy setting, look for features like strengthened or 'safedge' rims, one-piece construction, and  chip guarantees to maximise the lifespan of your stock.

Style & Ambience

The right glass enhances the drink and  your decor. Consider whether a modern, curved shape like the Perception series fits your venue's brand and  feel.

Ease of Cleaning

Always check if glasses are commercial glasswasher safe. This is a non-negotiable feature that saves enormous amounts of time and  labour.

Pack Size & Value

Buying by the case is almost always more economical. Calculate the cost-per-glass to see the true value you're getting, especially for restaurant wine glasses Libbey is known for.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these glasses stackable?

A: It is not recommended to stack wine glasses, as this can lead to pressure on the rims, causing scratches or potential breakages.

Q: What does the lifetime anti-chipping guarantee actually cover?

A: The guarantee covers chipping on the rim and  the foot of the glass under normal use. It does not cover full breakages from being dropped or knocked over.

Q: Is this glass suitable for both red and  white wine?

A: Yes, its versatile, curved shape makes it an excellent all-rounder, perfectly suited for serving house red and  white wines in a restaurant or pub.

Q: What is the recommended serving size for a 240ml glass?

A: These glasses are perfectly proportioned to serve a standard 175ml measure of wine, allowing enough space for aeration.

Q: Can these glasses withstand a high-temperature commercial glasswasher?

A: Absolutely. They are designed specifically for the demands of professional glasswashers, including high temperatures and  rapid cycles.

Q: Are these glasses CE marked for serving measured drinks?

A: No, the Libbey CW965 wine glasses are not CE marked. For legal pours, you must measure the wine using a CE-marked jigger or dispenser.

Q: How thick is the glass? Is it delicate?

A: The Perception series is designed for durability while maintaining an elegant feel. It's not overly thick or clunky, striking a great balance for commercial use.

Q: Does 'one-piece construction' make a real difference?

A: Yes, it significantly improves strength by eliminating the traditional weak point where the stem is fused to the bowl, reducing the likelihood of breakages from handling.

Built Stronger: What 'One-Piece Construction' Really Means

Ever noticed how some wine glasses feel a bit wobbly where the stem meets the bowl? That's often because they are made in two or three separate pieces and  fused together, creating a natural weak point. 'One-piece construction' completely eliminates this problem. The entire glass – bowl, stem, and  foot – is moulded from a single piece of molten glass.

Think of it like the difference between a flat-pack bookcase held together with screws and  a solid oak one carved from a single block of wood. The solid piece is inherently stronger and  has no joints to fail under stress. For your business, this means a far more durable glass that can better withstand the daily clinks, handling, and  washing of a commercial environment, giving you a longer-lasting, better-value product.
