- Top-Tier Space Saver: A brilliant and effective way to use under-utilised vertical space.
- Standard Sizing: Best for standard wine glasses; not ideal for very wide, oversized bowl styles.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Angel's Share, a popular cosy pub in York, was struggling with a very limited back-bar space, causing bottlenecks during peak tourist season and slowing down service.
"We were constantly shuffling glasses around, and it was slowing us down. These racks were fitted in an afternoon and immediately cleared our main workspace. Service is now much slicker, and the bar just looks more professional."
Robert Davies – Pub Landlord
After installing five of the Olympia FD988 glass racks under their main shelving, the pub reduced glass retrieval time by an estimated 30% during busy shifts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Check that your chosen surface (e.g., the underside of a wooden shelf or cabinet) is solid and can support the weight of the rack and glasses.
- Use the pre-drilled holes on the rack as a template to mark where your screws will go.
- Select screws appropriate for the material you are drilling into (e.g., wood screws for a shelf). Fixings are not supplied.
- Ensure the rack is mounted level to keep glasses secure and looking uniform.
Keeping It Going
- Dust the rack regularly with a dry cloth to prevent build-up.
- For a deeper clean, wipe down with a damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the black coating.
- Periodically check that the mounting screws are still tight and secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many glasses does one 406mm wine glass hanger hold?
A: It depends on the width of the glass bowl, but typically it will hold 3 to 4 standard-sized wine glasses comfortably.
Q: What is the rack made from?
A: It's made from strong, coated wire designed for durability in a commercial environment.
Q: Can I mount this directly into a plasterboard ceiling?
A: It's not recommended. For security, it should be mounted into a solid surface like a wooden shelf, cabinet base, or ceiling joist.
Q: Does it come with screws for installation?
A: No, fixings are not included. This is because the type of screw you need will depend on the surface you're mounting it to.
Q: How do I clean the rack?
A: A quick wipe with a damp cloth is usually all that's needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the black coating.
Q: Will the wire scratch my glasses?
A: The smooth coating on the wire is designed to protect your glassware from scratches during normal use.
Q: Is it only for wine glasses?
A: Not at all! It's perfect for any stemmed glassware with a base up to 70mm, including martini glasses, coupes, and gin goblets.
Q: Can I install multiple racks side-by-side?
A: Yes, absolutely. Many businesses install several racks in a row to create a large, uniform glass storage area.

Explore more from OlympiaWhy an Open Wire Design is Smarter Than You Think
Ever notice how glasses straight from the glasswasher can have stubborn water spots? A solid shelf traps moisture underneath, slowing down drying time and forcing your team to spend more time polishing. This rack’s open wire design is like giving each glass its own personal, breezy drying space. Air circulates freely all around the glass—inside and out—wicking away moisture far more quickly. This means clearer, shinier glasses that are ready for service with less manual effort. It’s a simple design detail that saves valuable time and boosts presentation, one glass at a time.
