Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Ferryman's Inn, a popular riverside gastropub in York, was struggling with frequent glassware breakages and inconsistent wine pours during their incredibly busy Sunday service. They needed a more robust and professional solution.
"We switched to the Chef & Sommelier Cabernet glasses three months ago, and the difference is night and day. They look fantastic, our staff can pour confidently with the CE marks, and we're not constantly sweeping up broken glass. They've already paid for themselves in saved stock."
Michael Davies – General Manager
Since the switch, The Ferryman's Inn has seen a 30% reduction in glassware replacement costs and improved service efficiency during peak hours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unbox and inspect each glass for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Before their first use, run the glasses through a full cycle in your commercial glasswasher to remove any dust or residue.
- Ensure your glasswasher rinse aid and detergent levels are correct to prevent spots and streaks.
- Designate a specific, safe shelf space for your new glassware to minimise accidental knocks.
Keeping It Going
- Load glasses into the dishwasher rack carefully, ensuring they do not touch each other to prevent scratching.
- Always use a high-quality glass-polishing cloth to dry and buff the glasses for a pristine finish.
- Regularly check for any chips or cracks, and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately for safety.
- Avoid using glasses to scoop ice, as this can cause thermal shock and lead to cracking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does 'CE Marked at 175ml & 250ml' actually mean?
A: It's a legal requirement in the UK for serving specific wine measures. The lines on the glass guarantee that when filled to that point, you are pouring an accurate, legal measure, protecting both you and your customer.
Q: Are these glasses suitable for both red and white wine?
A: Yes, absolutely. The classic cabernet tulip shape is an excellent all-rounder, designed to enhance the aromatics of a wide variety of both red and white wines.
Q: What is Kwarx glass and why is it better?
A: Kwarx is a high-technology material that is more resistant to shocks and scratches than standard glass. It also maintains its original sparkle and transparency, even after hundreds of commercial dishwasher cycles.
Q: Can these glasses be stacked?
A: No, these are not designed to be stacking glasses. Stacking them could cause scratches or lead to them getting stuck or breaking.
Q: How 'dishwasher safe' are they really?
A: These are designed for commercial dishwashers. The Kwarx material is specifically engineered to withstand the high temperatures and potent detergents used in professional kitchens, without degrading or becoming cloudy.
Q: Is the rim fine or thick?
A: These glasses feature a fine rim for a more pleasant drinking experience, which helps to direct the wine smoothly onto the palate without the clunky feel of thicker-rimmed glasses.
Q: How many glasses are in one box?
A: These are sold in a box of 12 glasses, making them a convenient and cost-effective pack for professional use.
Q: Is the 350ml capacity the total volume to the brim?
A: Yes, 350ml is the total 'brimful' capacity, which provides ample space for a 175ml or 250ml serving to be swirled and aerated properly.

Explore more from Chef & SommelierWhy Kwarx® Glass Makes All the Difference
Ever wondered what 'advanced Kwarx glass' actually means for your business? It’s not just a fancy name. Think of it like the tempered glass on your mobile phone screen compared to a normal pane of glass. Standard glassware is prone to tiny, invisible micro-scratches from daily use and washing, which eventually lead to cloudiness and weak spots. Kwarx® is a unique material that fuses several elements to create a surface that's incredibly smooth and resistant to those very scratches. This means your glasses stay brilliantly clear and are far less likely to shatter from a small knock or a sudden temperature change in the glasswasher, saving you money and keeping your service looking sharp.
