  • Real-World Durability: The heavy base genuinely helps prevent tips and  spills on busy tables.
  • Not a Legal Measure: Remember it's not CE marked, so use a jigger for spirits.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Gilded Lily, a bustling cocktail bar in Manchester's Northern Quarter, needed to replace their chipped and  mismatched glassware to elevate their customer experience. They wanted something that looked the part but could handle a hectic Saturday night service without constant breakages.

"We were going through glasses at an alarming rate, and  it looked unprofessional. The Olympia D931 high ball tumblers gave us that uniform, premium look we wanted, but with the toughness we desperately needed."

David Chen – Bar Manager

Since making the switch six months ago, their glassware breakage has decreased by over 30%, saving money and  reducing mid-service panics.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Always give your new glasses a thorough wash before their first use to remove any dust from the factory or transit.
  • Quickly inspect each glass as you unbox it to ensure there are no chips or cracks before putting them into service.
  • Ensure your glasswasher racks are designed to hold tall glasses securely to prevent them from rattling and  chipping.
  • To avoid breakages, never pour ice-cold liquids into a glass that has just come out of a hot wash cycle. Let it cool first.

Keeping It Going

  • Use a glass renovating agent every few months to remove residue and  limescale, keeping your glassware sparkling and  head-retentive.
  • These classic Olympia D931 high ball tumblers are not designed for stacking. Storing them side-by-side on a shelf prevents pressure cracks and  chipping.
  • For a five-star finish, polish each glass with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to remove any water spots.
  • For safety and  professionalism, remove any chipped or cracked glasses from service immediately.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Glassware

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

Capacity Matters

Consider your most popular drinks. A 290ml (10oz) glass is a versatile all-rounder for long cocktails, mixers, and  soft drinks, making it a safe bet for most bars.

Durability vs. Delicacy

For high-turnover venues, look for features like a heavy base or toughened glass. It costs less in the long run than repeatedly replacing delicate, chipped glasses.

Check for CE/CA Marking

If you're serving draught beer, wine, or spirits 'by the glass', you legally need CE/CA marked glassware. For soft drinks or cocktails where spirits are measured with a jigger, it's not essential.

Ease of Cleaning

Always check if glasses are rated for commercial glasswashers. This is a massive time-saver and  absolutely crucial for maintaining hygiene in any professional kitchen or bar.

Stacking and  Storage

If storage space is tight, look for glasses specifically sold as stackable. Classic hi-balls like these need adequate shelf space to prevent damage, so measure up first!

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these glasses suitable for hot drinks like coffee or tea?

A: No, these are designed for cold beverages only. Using them for hot drinks can cause the glass to crack from thermal shock.

Q: What does 'not CE marked' mean for my pub?

A: It simply means they cannot be used as a legal measure for selling prescribed spirits, like a 25ml single. You must use a separate, approved measure like a jigger before pouring into the glass.

Q: Are the Olympia D931 high ball tumblers stackable?

A: These glasses are not designed to be stacked. Stacking them can cause scratches, pressure cracks, or result in them getting stuck together.

Q: What is the capacity in standard UK ounces?

A: The capacity is 10¼ UK fluid ounces, which is equivalent to 290ml.

Q: Is the glass thick and  durable?

A: Yes, this is high-quality commercial glassware with a good thickness and  a solid, heavy base designed for durability in a professional setting.

Q: How many glasses come in a single pack?

A: They are sold in a trade pack of 48 glasses, which offers excellent value for kitting out a venue.

Q: Can I wash these in my home dishwasher?

A: Absolutely. While they are rated for the rigours of commercial glasswashers, they are perfectly safe to be cleaned in a domestic dishwasher too.

Q: What drinks are these Olympia hi ball glassware best suited for?

A: They're perfect for long cocktails like a Mojito or Tom Collins, as well as classic spirit-and-mixer combinations, fresh juices, and  fizzy drinks.

What Does a 'Solid Heavy Base' Really Mean for Your Bar?

On paper, a 'solid heavy base' sounds simple, but in a busy bar, it’s a seriously clever bit of design. It effectively lowers the glass's centre of gravity, making it incredibly stable. Think of it like the weighted keel on a boat; it keeps things upright even when the waters get choppy. For your venue, this translates directly into fewer accidental knocks and  spills on crowded tables or a busy bar top. This simple feature means less wasted stock, less time cleaning up, and  a smoother, more professional service, especially when you're in the weeds on a Friday night.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Cocktail Bars & Pubs: Ideal for serving a huge range of long drinks, from classic G&Ts to elaborate house cocktails.
  • Restaurants & Bistros: A versatile and  elegant choice for serving table water, fresh juices, and  fizzy drinks with meals.

  • Cafés & Diners: A sturdy, reliable glass for serving premium soft drinks, milkshakes, smoothies, and  all your cold beverages.
