Expert Review and Insights
The Olympia Solar range really hits the sweet spot between form and function. They feel substantial enough for high-volume use but don't lose that delicate look guests appreciate. A genuinely smart choice for any venue wanting to make a good impression without the constant worry of breakages; they just work.
Emily Hart – Tableware Expert View Profile →
- Pros: Excellent durability and glasswasher performance make them a reliable day-to-day option.
- Cons: They aren't CE marked, so they're unsuitable for serving prescribed measures by the glass.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The King's Head, a popular gastropub in Stratford-upon-Avon, was struggling with high glassware replacement costs due to chipping and breakages from their previous supplier. They needed a more robust solution that didn't sacrifice the elegant look their clientele expected.
"We switched to the Olympia Solar glasses six months ago and the difference is night and day. They look fantastic on the tables and they've stood up to our packed weekend services and constant washing cycles without a problem. Our staff love them, and our accountant does too!"
Robert Davies – General Manager
The switch resulted in a 35% reduction in their quarterly glassware re-ordering budget and fewer service interruptions.
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 wash glasses before their first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and packing.
- Designate a clean, secure, and easily accessible shelf for storage, away from heavy footfall.
- Ensure your glass storage mats or racks are clean and dry before placing the glasses.
Keeping It Going
- Load into the glasswasher carefully, ensuring glasses do not touch to prevent chipping.
- Use a high-quality glasswasher detergent and rinse aid to prevent clouding and spots.
- For a crystal-clear finish, polish glasses with a clean, dry microfibre cloth while they are still warm.
- Regularly check for small chips or cracks, and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy the Bowl Shape Makes a Better Wine
Ever wondered why wine glasses aren't just straight-sided tumblers? It's all about aroma. The 'wide lower bowl' on these glasses isn't just for looks; it creates a larger surface area for the wine to come into contact with the air. This process, called aeration, gently opens up the wine, releasing all the complex aromas that have been locked inside the bottle.
Think of it like opening a window in a stuffy room—everything just feels fresher and more vibrant. The tall, tapering shape then funnels those lovely aromas directly towards the nose as you take a sip. Because so much of taste is linked to smell, this simple design feature dramatically improves the flavour of the wine, giving your customers a far more enjoyable and premium experience.
