Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Gilded Lily," a popular gin bar in York, was looking to replace its standard, frequently-chipped hi-ball glasses with something more durable that matched its art deco interior.
"We were haemorrhaging money on replacing boring glassware. The Olympia Alma glasses not only look the part, but they're so much tougher. Customers constantly comment on how lovely they are to hold, and our presentation has never looked better."
Michael Davies – Bar Manager
The switch resulted in a 60% reduction in glassware breakage costs within the first three months and a noticeable increase in positive online reviews mentioning the bar's overall aesthetic and attention to detail.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully unpack and inspect each glass for any damage that may have occurred in transit.
- Always run the glasses through a hot wash cycle in your dishwasher before their first use to ensure they are sterile and pristine.
- Designate a specific, non-slip shelf for storage to prevent accidental knocks and breakages.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent clouding, always use a high-quality glasswasher detergent and ensure your rinse aid levels are topped up.
- Use a dedicated glass rack in your dishwasher to prevent glasses from knocking against each other during the wash cycle.
- For a crystal-clear finish, polish the glasses with a clean, dry microfibre cloth while they are still warm from the dishwasher.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, particularly around the rim, and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses suitable for serving hot drinks?
A: No, these glasses are designed for cold beverages only. Using them for hot liquids can cause the glass to crack due to thermal shock.
Q: What does 'dishwasher safe' mean in a commercial context?
A: It means the glass is robust enough to withstand the high temperatures, water pressure, and detergents used in commercial glasswashers without degrading, clouding, or breaking easily.
Q: Are these glasses stackable?
A: Due to their straight sides and textured vintage design, these glasses are not designed to be stacked as it could lead to chipping or glasses getting stuck.
Q: Is the 400ml capacity measured to the brim?
A: Yes, the stated capacity of 400ml (14oz) is the 'to brim' volume. A comfortable serving volume would be slightly less to allow for ice and prevent spillage.
Q: How tall are these glasses? Will they fit in my glasswasher?
A: These glasses stand at 150mm (15cm) tall. We recommend measuring the clearance height of your glasswasher rack to ensure a perfect fit.
Q: Is the vintage pattern etched or moulded into the glass?
A: The intricate pattern is moulded into the glass during manufacturing, which means it won't wear off over time or with repeated washing.
Q: What is the benefit of a weighted base?
A: A heavier, solid base provides greater stability and a lower centre of gravity, making the glass much harder to knock over. This is a crucial feature for busy bars and restaurants.
Q: Can I buy these glasses individually?
A: This particular product, SKU CU964, is sold as a convenient 6 pack hi ball tumblers, which offers the best value for commercial establishments.

When you see 'vintage design' on a product like these Olympia Alma CU964 glass tumblers, it's about more than just looking nice. Think of it like serving a gourmet burger on a premium brioche bun instead of a standard bap—it instantly elevates the entire experience. The textured, cut-glass pattern does two key things. Firstly, it enhances the physical feel, giving the glass a satisfying weight and grip that feels more premium to the customer. Secondly, the facets in the glass catch and reflect light, making the drink inside appear more vibrant and appealing. It’s a subtle trick that makes a simple gin and tonic or a colourful mocktail look like a work of art, justifying a premium price and creating a more memorable service.
