Red Wine Glasses

How to choose the right Red Wine Glasses

• Match glass capacity to your service style, using larger bowls for premium reds and smaller sizes for house wines or tasting measures.
• Consider bowl shape and rim diameter to support the wine styles you serve most often, from light reds to full-bodied varieties.
• Choose between crystal and standard glass depending on whether you prioritise elegance and clarity or maximum durability.
• Check pack sizes and expected turnover so you have enough glasses for peak service, functions and breakage cover.
• Think about storage and glasswasher rack compatibility to ensure glasses fit your existing back-of-house setup.
• Align designs with your overall tableware and bar presentation, from classic stemware to more contemporary profiles.

Care and maintenance

• Wash red wine glasses in a commercial glasswasher using appropriate detergent and rinse aid to maintain clarity and shine.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch or dull the glass surface over time.
• Use correctly sized glass racks to protect stems and rims during washing, transport and storage.
• Allow glasses to air dry fully before polishing lightly with a lint-free cloth to remove any remaining spots.
• Inspect regularly for chips or cracks and remove damaged glasses from service to protect guests and staff.
• Store upright in clean, dust-free areas away from strong odours that could affect wine aroma.
