Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Cantina range consistently impresses because it gets the fundamentals right. It offers the visual appeal of premium glassware – that lovely clarity and classic shape – but crucially, it's built for the real world of hospitality. They feel substantial and reassuringly solid, a far cry from delicate domestic glasses.

- Practical Elegance: They look fantastic on the table but can handle a commercial glasswasher.
- Storage Consideration: Their generous bowl size means they require a bit more shelf height.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rose & Crown, a newly refurbished gastropub in York, wanted to replace their collection of mismatched, tired-looking wine glasses to better suit their new, upmarket food menu.
"We needed something that looked premium without being delicate. The Olympia Cantina glasses hit the mark perfectly. They feel great, look fantastic, and our staff aren't terrified of breaking them during a busy Saturday night service. It's a small change that's made a big difference."
Michael Davies – General Manager
The pub improved its table presentation score in customer feedback by 25% and reduced monthly glassware replacement costs significantly.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Before the first use, always wash the glasses to remove any residue from manufacturing or packaging.
- Ensure your glasswasher rinse aid is topped up to prevent water spots and ensure a sparkling finish.
- Store on a designated glass rack or a non-slip shelf liner to minimise movement and potential knocks.
- Avoid pouring very cold liquids into a glass straight from a hot wash cycle to prevent thermal shock.
Keeping It Going
- Hold glasses by the stem whenever possible to keep the bowl free from fingerprints.
- For a perfect, crystal-clear finish, polish glasses with a clean, dry microfibre cloth.
- Regularly inspect for tiny chips or cracks, especially around the rim, and remove any damaged items from service.
- Never use abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, as they can permanently scratch the glass surface.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses genuinely crystal?
A: They are made from high-quality, unleaded crystal glass, which provides exceptional clarity and strength, perfect for commercial use.
Q: Can I use these for drinks other than red wine?
A: Absolutely. While their shape is optimised for red wine, they also make an excellent, elegant glass for water, craft beers, or even a large G&T.
Q: What does it mean that they are from the 'Cantina' range?
A: 'Cantina' is the model name from Olympia for this particular style, known for its classic shape and robust build suitable for commercial environments.
Q: Are the Olympia HW655 wine glasses stackable?
A: No, due to their classic stemmed design, these glasses should not be stacked. We recommend storing them on a glass hanging rack or a flat shelf.
Q: Is the 475ml capacity 'to the brim'?
A: Yes, 475ml is the total volume capacity. This allows plenty of room for a standard 175ml or large 250ml serving to be poured while leaving space for aeration.
Q: How many glasses are included in one pack?
A: These are sold in a box containing 6 glasses.
Q: How fragile are they compared to standard glasses?
A: They are designed for hospitality use, making them significantly more durable and chip-resistant than typical domestic glassware.
Q: Do they require hand-polishing after being in the glasswasher?
A: For the best possible presentation and to remove any potential water spots, a quick polish with a microfibre cloth is always recommended.

Explore more from OlympiaMore Than a Pretty Face: Why a Rolled Rim Matters
You’ve probably seen 'rolled rim' listed as a feature, but what does it actually mean for your business? Think of it like the reinforced corner on a suitcase – it’s a tiny design detail that makes a huge difference to durability. The rim of the glass is subtly thickened and curved over, creating a smooth, strong edge. This is the part of the glass most vulnerable to little knocks, especially when loading a glasswasher or placing it on a table. By reinforcing this area, the glass becomes significantly more resistant to chipping, which is the number one reason glasses get retired from service. It’s a simple, clever bit of engineering that means these glasses last longer, saving you money on replacements.
