Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia GF738 strikes a fantastic balance. Too often, commercial glassware sacrifices elegance for durability, but here the crystal construction delivers both. It feels light and refined in the hand, yet it's robust enough for a high-turnover service. The shape is classic and functional, genuinely enhancing the tasting experience for patrons.
Emily Hart – Tableware View Profile →
- Pro: The crystal offers brilliant clarity and surprising resilience to scratches.
- Con: Its specific tasting shape may be less versatile for other drinks.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular gastropub in Keswick, Lake District, wanted to introduce a curated 'Wine of the Week' feature. They upgraded from their standard, all-purpose glassware to the Olympia GF738 to give the promotion a more premium feel and properly showcase the wines.
"The difference was immediate. Customers commented on the quality of the glasses, and it made the whole experience feel more special. They’re tough enough for our busy service, but look and feel fantastic. It's the small details that count."
Robert Davies – General Manager
The pub reported a 20% uptake on their 'Wine of the Week' promotion within the first month of using the new glasses.
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 perform a pre-wash before first use, either by hand or in a commercial glasswasher, to remove any dust.
- Ensure you have adequate and safe shelf space for storage, away from high-traffic areas.
Keeping It Going
- These glasses are glasswasher safe; use a suitable glass rack to prevent knocking and chipping.
- For a crystal-clear finish, polish with a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth while the glass is still warm from the wash.
- Store glasses upright on their base, not on their rim, to protect the delicate edge from chips and contamination.
- Check regularly for small chips or cracks, and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately for safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses really safe for a commercial glasswasher?
A: Yes, they are designed to be fully glasswasher-safe, making them ideal for the fast-paced demands of a professional kitchen or bar.
Q: What is the main difference between crystal and standard glass?
A: Crystal glass, like that used for the Olympia GF738, offers greater clarity, brilliance, and strength. It allows for a thinner, more pleasant rim without sacrificing durability.
Q: How many glasses come in a single pack?
A: These are sold in a box of 6, offering great value and allowing you to stock up easily.
Q: Can I serve both red and white wine in these glasses?
A: Absolutely. While there are specific glasses for each, this classic tasting shape is an excellent all-rounder, designed to enhance the aromatics of most wine types.
Q: Are these glasses stackable?
A: No, due to their stemmed design, it is not recommended to stack these glasses as it can easily lead to chipping or breakages. They should be stored upright on a shelf or in a glass rack.
Q: What does the 'funnelled rim' feature do?
A: The slightly narrowed, or funnelled, rim helps to capture and concentrate the wine's aromas, directing them to your nose as you sip to enhance the overall tasting experience.
Q: Is this glass suitable for a professional bar environment?
A: Yes, this is a professional wine sampling glass. It's specifically designed to balance the aesthetic needs of a quality bar with the durability required for commercial use.
Q: What is the recommended serving measure for this glass?
A: With a total capacity of 220ml, this glass is perfectly suited for the UK's standard 175ml wine serving, leaving ample room for the wine to be swirled.

Ever wonder why wine glasses have that specific curved shape? The 'tapered bowl' on this crystal wine tasting glass 220ml isn't just for looks; it’s a crucial tool for flavour. Think of it like a megaphone for aromas. The wide base allows you to swirl the wine, releasing its complex aromatic compounds into the air. As the glass narrows towards the top, it funnels all those delicate scents directly upwards. This means you get a concentrated bouquet every time you lift the glass, enhancing the taste before you even take a sip. It's a simple piece of physics that dramatically improves the wine tasting experience for your customers.
