How to choose the right Port Glasses

• Decide on capacity based on your standard port or sherry measure, choosing smaller liqueur glasses for tastings and larger bowls for premium serves.
• Consider glass shape and bowl size to optimise aroma release and guest experience, especially for tasting menus and wine pairings.
• Match the style of your port glasses to your existing wine and beer glassware to keep a consistent front-of-house look.
• Check pack sizes and brand ranges so you can easily replace breakages and maintain a uniform set across your venue.
• For high-volume bars and hotels, prioritise tough commercial crystal that balances elegance with durability.
• Think about storage and glass hanger compatibility, especially if you plan to hang stemware above the bar.

Care and maintenance

• Wash port glasses promptly after service to prevent staining from fortified wines and liqueurs.
• Use a suitable glasswasher cycle and non-abrasive detergents to protect clarity and shine.
• Polish with lint-free cloths to remove water spots and present crystal-clear glassware to guests.
• Store glasses upright or on dedicated glass racks to reduce the risk of chipping stems and rims.
• Inspect regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged glasses from service for safety.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as very hot water on chilled glasses, to minimise the risk of breakage.
