Best Feature: The classic, elegant shape elevates the look of any table setting.
Heads-Up: This product is not CE marked, which is important for certain service styles.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Harbour View, a bustling seaside restaurant in Whitby, North Yorkshire, needed to replace their tired and frequently chipped wine glasses with something more durable that didn't sacrifice on style.
"We were breaking glasses constantly, which was costing us money and looked unprofessional. We switched to the Olympia Solar glasses six months ago, and the difference is night and day. They look fantastic on the tables and can handle our hectic Saturday nights with ease."
Clara Davies – Restaurant Manager
The switch resulted in a 30% reduction in glassware breakage and a noticeable increase in positive customer comments on table presentation.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always wash glasses before their first use to remove any dust or residue from manufacturing and transit.
- Use a dedicated glass rack for your commercial dishwasher to prevent knocking and chipping.
- Ensure rinse aid is topped up in your glasswasher for a sparkling, streak-free finish every time.
- Handle glasses by the stem to avoid fingerprints on the bowl.
Keeping It Going
- Avoid 'thermal shock' by not pouring cold liquids into a hot glass straight from the washer.
- Polish with a clean, lint-free microfibre cloth (like a polishing cloth) for a crystal-clear finish.
- Store glasses upright on a non-slip mat or hanging rack to protect the delicate rim.
- Check for any small chips or cracks regularly and remove damaged glasses from service immediately.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy the Wide Bowl Unlocks Fuller Flavours
Ever wondered why the shape of a wine glass matters so much? The wide design of the lower bowl on these Olympia commercial wine glasses isn't just for looks; it's a crucial part of the tasting experience. This feature is all about aeration – introducing oxygen to the wine to help it 'breathe'.
Think of it like opening a window in a stuffy room. As you swirl the wine, the large surface area created by the wide bowl allows the wine's complex aromas to be released. These aromas are then channelled upwards by the tapering top of the glass, concentrating them right where you can appreciate them. This simple process softens tannins and allows the full spectrum of fruit and oak flavours to shine through, making even a young house wine taste richer and more expressive.
