Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Swan Inn, a bustling gastropub in Bakewell, Derbyshire, wanted to elevate its drink service to match its new artisanal food menu. They replaced their standard, smaller wine glasses with the Olympia Serena CZ002 to create a more premium feel for their wine and gin offerings.
"Our customers immediately noticed the difference. The glasses feel substantial and look stunning, which justifies the price of our premium drink selection. They've been through the washer dozens of times a day and are holding up brilliantly."
Robert Davies – Bar Manager
The upgrade directly contributed to a noticeable lift in customer perception and a 20% increase in sales of premium gins and full-bodied red wines within three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon delivery, carefully inspect each glass for any imperfections or damage from transit.
- Wash all glasses in a commercial glasswasher before their first use to remove any dust or residue.
- Ensure your glass storage racks or shelves can safely accommodate the 108mm wide bowl.
- Polish with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth for a crystal-clear, professional finish.
Keeping It Going
- To prevent thermal shock (and cracking), avoid pouring cold liquids into very hot glasses straight from the washer.
- Load into glasswasher racks carefully, ensuring glasses do not touch each other to prevent scratching.
- Use a high-quality rinse aid in your machine to prevent water spots and clouding.
- Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately for safety.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these glasses genuinely commercial-grade?
A: Yes, the Olympia Serena range is specifically designed for the hospitality industry, featuring a robust build and chip-resistant rims to withstand daily use in busy environments.
Q: Can I use these for drinks other than wine and gin?
A: Absolutely. Their large size makes them great for Spanish-style Aperol Spritzes, water goblets at a formal dinner, or even creative, non-alcoholic cocktails.
Q: What does 'pulled stem' mean?
A: A pulled stem means the stem is drawn directly from the bowl of the glass during manufacturing, creating a single, seamless piece. This enhances both the strength and the aesthetic of the glass.
Q: Will the glass cloud up after many washes?
A: With proper care and the use of a good quality rinse aid in your commercial dishwasher, these glasses are designed to maintain their clarity and sparkle over time.
Q: How do these compare to crystal glasses?
A: While crystal offers exceptional clarity, it's often more fragile and expensive. These glass alternatives provide fantastic clarity and style but with much greater durability, making them more practical for commercial use.
Q: Is the 650ml capacity the total volume to the brim?
A: Yes, 650ml is the 'brimful' capacity. A standard large wine serving would be around 175-250ml, leaving plenty of room for aeration.
Q: Why is a large bowl better for red wine?
A: The wide surface area exposes more of the wine to oxygen, which helps to soften the tannins and release the full spectrum of its aromas and flavours, improving the overall taste.
Q: Is the base wide enough to be stable on a busy bar?
A: Yes, the foot of the glass is designed to provide a solid, stable base, reducing the risk of it being knocked over in a fast-paced setting.
The Olympia Advantage: Built for British Hospitality
Choosing Olympia glassware is about more than just meeting a capacity or a style requirement; it's an investment in operational peace of mind. For decades, Olympia has been a trusted workhorse in the UK's demanding hospitality sector, from bustling city pubs to quaint countryside hotels. The brand has built its reputation on creating products that skillfully balance aesthetic appeal with the non-negotiable need for durability. The Serena range is a perfect example of this philosophy. By opting for these glasses, you're not just buying a vessel for drinks; you're adopting a solution that reduces long-term replacement costs, minimises staff frustration with breakages, and consistently delivers a high-quality experience to your customers. It’s the kind of reliable, background excellence that allows you to focus on what truly matters: brilliant service.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy the Balloon Shape Makes Drinks Better
Ever wonder why a glass shape matters so much? The large, rounded bowl of these Olympia Serena CZ002 red wine glasses isn't just for show; it's a clever piece of design that actively improves the drink. Think of it like turning up the volume on flavour. For red wine, the wide surface area allows more of the liquid to interact with the air, a process called aeration. This softens tannins and releases the wine's hidden aromas, so your customer gets a richer, more fragrant sip. For a G&T, that same large bowl traps the delicate scents of the gin's botanicals, concentrating them towards the nose for a more aromatic and immersive experience. It's a simple feature that makes a huge difference to the quality of the serve.
