- Top Marks for Simplicity: It’s incredibly straightforward to install and does its one job perfectly.
- A Note on Fixings: You’ll need to supply your own screws, so choose wisely for your surface.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The White Hart, a popular gastropub in Henley-on-Thames, was struggling with a cluttered back-bar, leading to slower service during peak hours and the occasional breakage.
"We installed five of these racks above our main bar area. The difference was immediate. The bar top is now completely clear, our staff can grab a fresh glass without reaching over bottles, and the whole operation just feels calmer and more organised."
Michael Edwards – General Manager
The installation reclaimed over a square metre of crucial counter space and improved service efficiency during Friday and Saturday nights.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always mount to a solid, stable surface like a wooden cabinet base, a sturdy shelf, or directly into a ceiling joist.
- Source screws and fixings that are appropriate for your chosen mounting surface (e.g., wood screws for cabinets, longer screws for joists).
- Position the rack to allow enough vertical clearance for your tallest glasses to hang without touching anything below.
- For a longer run, simply mount multiple racks end-to-end for a seamless, continuous look.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the wireframe regularly with a soft, damp cloth to prevent any dust from gathering.
- Avoid using abrasive scourers or harsh chemical sprays, as they could damage the protective black coating.
- Every few months, give the mounting screws a quick check to ensure they remain tight and secure.
- Ensure glasses are fully dry before placing them in the rack to maintain a clean finish.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many wine glasses can this rack hold?
A: It depends on the width of your glasses, but a 610mm rack typically holds between 5 and 7 standard-sized wine or champagne glasses.
Q: Are screws and fixings included with the rack?
A: No, fixings are not included. This allows you to choose the correct type of screws and plugs for your specific mounting surface (e.g., wood, plasterboard with joist).
Q: What is the maximum base diameter of a glass that will fit?
A: This rack is designed for stemmed glasses with a maximum base diameter of 70mm.
Q: Can I mount this directly onto a plasterboard ceiling?
A: We strongly advise against it. For a secure installation, you should always mount the rack into a solid wooden surface or a ceiling joist.
Q: How do I clean the commercial wine glass rack?
A: Simply wipe it down with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners to protect the black finish.
Q: Can I mount this rack outdoors?
A: This rack is designed for indoor use. Outdoor exposure could cause the material to corrode over time.
Q: Is the black coating likely to chip or peel?
A: The rack has a durable coating designed for the demands of a commercial environment, making it resistant to chipping with normal use.
Q: How far apart should I install multiple racks?
A: You can mount them right next to each other to create a continuous storage bank, or space them out depending on the look you want to achieve.
The Olympia Promise: Smart Design for a Smoother Service

It addresses a fundamental operational challenge—disorganisation and inefficiency—with a robust, affordable, and easy-to-implement solution. The long-term value isn't just in storing glasses; it's in the countless minutes saved during a frantic service, the reduction in costly breakages, and the elevated, professional image it presents to customers. It’s a testament to the idea that the smartest investments are often the simplest ones that make everyday tasks easier, safer, and faster.
Explore more from OlympiaWhy a Hanging Rack is a Smarter Way to Store
A hanging glass holder might seem simple, but the 'upside-down' storage method is key for any busy venue. When glasses are stored this way, dust and other airborne particles can't settle inside the bowl. This means every glass you grab is instantly ready for use, without needing a last-minute polish. It's like having a self-cleaning shelf. This not only saves your team precious seconds on every single drink order – which really adds up during a hectic service – but it also ensures a more hygienic serve for your customers every time. Plus, air can circulate freely, allowing glasses to dry completely spot-free after washing.
