Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Arms, a bustling gastro-pub in Bristol, needed to upgrade their glassware. Their old, clunky glasses didn't match their new premium wine list, but they couldn't risk fragile stemware that would break during a hectic weekend service.
"We were breaking glasses constantly, but these Libbey Teardrops have been brilliant. They look the part, our customers have noticed the difference, and our replacement costs have dropped significantly. A fantastic find."
Michael Evans – General Manager
The pub saw a measurable improvement, reducing their glassware breakage by over 50% in the first three months of use.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Unpack and carefully inspect each glass for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Always run glasses through a wash cycle before their first use to ensure they are pristine.
- Load into a suitable glass rack, ensuring glasses are not touching to prevent scratches.
- Check that your glasswasher is set to the correct temperature and cycle for glassware.
Keeping It Going
- Avoid overcrowding the glasswasher to ensure a thorough clean and prevent chipping.
- Use a quality detergent and rinse aid to achieve a sparkling, streak-free finish every time.
- For a perfect polish, use a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth while the glass is still warm from the wash.
- Store glasses upside down on a non-slip shelf liner to protect the rims and keep them dust-free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses suitable for both red and white wine?
A: Yes, their classic teardrop shape is wonderfully versatile, making them an excellent choice for serving both red and white house wines.
Q: What exactly does 'one-piece construction' mean?
A: It means the entire glass—bowl, stem, and foot—is made from a single piece of molten glass. This process eliminates the weaker joints where separate parts are fused together.
Q: Are these truly 'dishwasher safe wine glasses for bar' use?
A: Absolutely. The Libbey DT576 wine glasses are specifically designed to withstand the high temperatures and rigorous cycles of commercial glasswashers.
Q: Is 180ml the total capacity to the very brim?
A: Yes, 180ml (or 6.5oz) is the total liquid capacity if filled to the rim. They are ideal for a recommended 125ml pour.
Q: What is the Libbey Safedge® guarantee?
A: It’s a warranty from the manufacturer that promises to replace or refund the glass if the rim or foot happens to chip under normal, everyday use.
Q: Are these glasses heavy or delicate?
A: They strike a great balance. They have a reassuring weight that signals durability, but are light and elegant enough for a comfortable drinking experience.
Q: Can I buy these glasses individually?
A: This particular product (SKU: DT576) is sold as a value pack of 12 glasses, which is ideal for professional and catering use.
Q: What does 'not CE marked' mean for my business?
A: It simply means the glass doesn't have a government-stamped line to verify a specific measure. You'll need to measure your wine serves using a jigger or other certified measure before pouring.

Ever noticed how the rim of a glass is often the first place to chip? Libbey tackled this head-on with their Safedge® technology. It’s a special heat-treating process that super-hardens the rim and the foot of the glass—the two most vulnerable areas. Think of it like the reinforced corners on a high-quality suitcase; it’s designed to absorb the knocks and bumps of daily life. If the rim or foot of your Teardrop glass chips under normal use, Libbey guarantees to replace or refund it. It’s their promise of durability, giving you confidence that your investment is protected.
