Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Copper Kettle Bistro in Keswick, Lake District, needed to replace their tired and  frequently chipped glassware. They wanted something that reflected the quality of their locally-sourced menu without being too delicate for their busy tourist-season rushes.

"We switched to the Olympia Chime glasses six months ago, and  the difference is night and  day. They look incredible, our customers have commented on them, and  our breakage rate has dropped significantly. They just feel like quality."

Michael Davies – Owner

The bistro reported a 30% reduction in glassware replacement costs in the first six months and  noted an increase in positive online reviews mentioning the quality of the table presentation.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Before first use, run the glasses through a cycle in your commercial glasswasher to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and  shipping.
  • Ensure you have adequate and  safe shelving space, preferably with non-slip matting, to prevent accidents.
  • Brief staff on correct handling—holding the glass by the stem, not the bowl, to avoid fingerprints and  heat transfer.

Keeping It Going

  • Always use a glass-specific rack in your dishwasher to prevent glasses from knocking against each other.
  • Use a high-quality rinse aid to prevent water spots and  ensure a sparkling, streak-free finish.
  • Polish the glasses with a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth (one for holding, one for polishing) while they are still warm from the dishwasher.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, and  remove any damaged glasses from service immediately to ensure customer safety.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Wine Glasses

Not sure what to look for? Choosing the right commercial wine glasses can make a big difference. Here are a few pointers to help you decide.

Consider Capacity

A larger bowl, like this 495ml option, is great for aeration, especially for red wines. Ensure it suits your standard serving sizes (e.g., 175ml or 250ml) with plenty of room to spare.

Prioritise Durability

Look for features like a rolled rim or toughened glass. In a commercial environment, durability is key to keeping replacement costs down.

Material Matters

Crystal offers superior clarity and  a premium feel. Modern lead-free crystal, like in the Chime series, provides all the benefits without the health or environmental concerns of traditional leaded crystal.

Style and  Aesthetics

Choose glassware that complements your brand's image. A classic, elegant design like this is versatile and  suits most decors, from rustic pubs to modern bistros.

Ease of Cleaning

Always check if the glasses are commercial glasswasher safe. This is a non-negotiable feature for any busy hospitality venue to ensure fast and  hygienic turnaround.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes, their generous bowl size and  elegant shape make them an excellent all-rounder, suitable for showcasing both red and  white wines beautifully.

Q: Are the Olympia GF734 wine glasses really safe for a commercial glasswasher?

A: Absolutely. They are designed specifically to withstand the rigours of frequent washing cycles in a commercial glasswasher.

Q: What does 'lead-free crystal' mean?

A: It means the glass is made with crystalline, a material that offers the same brilliance, clarity, and  satisfying weight as traditional leaded crystal, but without any lead content.

Q: How many glasses are in one pack?

A: These glasses are sold in a pack of 6.

Q: What is the benefit of the 'rolled edge'?

Q: Are these glasses heavy?

A: They have a reassuring weight that signals quality to the customer, but they are not uncomfortably heavy for staff or patrons to handle.

How a Tapered Rim Unlocks Fuller Flavour

Ever wondered why some wine glasses are shaped the way they are? The tapered rim on these Chime series wine glasses is a perfect example of smart design. As you swirl the wine in the wide bowl, it releases its complex aromas. The rim, being narrower than the bowl, acts like a funnel or a chimney.

Instead of the aromas escaping out into the open air, they are captured and  concentrated, directed straight to your nose as you take a sip. This means you get a much richer, more intense scent, which is a huge part of how we perceive taste. It’s a simple feature that makes a massive difference, allowing you and  your customers to appreciate every subtle note in the wine.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Fine Dining Restaurants: These glasses are perfect for enhancing your premium wine list and  elevating the overall guest experience.
  • Independent Wine Bars: Showcase your curated wine selection in glasses designed to bring out the best in every vintage.
  • Boutique Hotels: Equip your bar, restaurant, and  room service with stylish and  durable restaurant crystal wine glasses.
  • Event & Wedding Venues: A reliable and  elegant choice that can withstand high-volume use while still looking fantastic on the table.
