Frequently Asked Questions

General
About Wine Glasses
Pricing
How do the shapes of wine glasses impact the drinking experience?

The shape of a wine glass influences how aromas are captured and directed toward the nose, thereby enhancing the overall tasting experience. Wider bowls are ideal for red wines, while narrower ones suit whites and sparkling wines; however, many restaurants use all-purpose glasses for versatility and practicality.

What should restaurants look for in wine glass durability?

Restaurants should prioritize glasses made from commercial-grade, lead-free glass that can withstand repeated washing and handling without chipping or clouding. Thicker rims and sturdy stems add to longevity in busy environments.

Why is glass clarity important for restaurant wine service?

Clear, high-quality glass allows guests to appreciate the wine's color and clarity, adding to the visual appeal of the beverage. It also signals professionalism and attention to detail in restaurant settings.

How does stem design affect wine glass usability?

Stems make it easier to hold glasses without warming the wine, but they can be fragile. Some restaurants prefer stemless designs for easier stacking and storage, though traditional stems are favored for formal service.

What are the common problems with low-quality wine glasses in restaurants?

Low-quality glasses may break easily, become cloudy after washing, or have uneven rims that affect the drinking experience. Investing in commercial-grade options helps maintain consistency and guest satisfaction.
