Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Copper Kettle, a popular pub in Bristol, wanted to capitalise on the evening drinks crowd by upgrading its standard glassware. Their old glasses just weren't doing justice to their new premium gin selection.
"We switched to these Cubata glasses and the difference was instant. Customers were commenting on them, and our gin sales shot up. They make the drinks look so much more appealing, and they're tough enough for our busy weekends."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Copper Kettle
After introducing the glasses, the pub reported a 30% increase in sales from its premium gin shelf in just two months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- On arrival, carefully 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.
- Check that these glasses fit comfortably in your glasswasher racks and under the washing arms.
Keeping It Going
- Use a glass-specific detergent in your machine to prevent clouding and ensure a sparkling finish.
- For a perfect serve, polish glasses with a clean, dry microfibre cloth to remove any water spots.
- Store upright on non-slip matting, not stacked, to prevent rim chips and breakages.
- Regularly check for small chips or cracks, and remove any damaged glasses from service immediately.

Explore more from UtopiaHow the Balloon Shape Unlocks More Flavour
Ever wondered why gin aficionados insist on a 'balloon' or 'copa' glass? It’s not just for looks. That large, rounded bowl is a flavour engine. Think of it like swirling wine to let it 'breathe'. The wide surface area of the 640ml balloon gin glasses allows the gin's delicate botanical oils and aromas to evaporate and collect at the top of the glass. When you take a sip, you get a much richer scent before the liquid even touches your lips, dramatically enhancing the taste. It turns a simple drink into a full sensory experience, something a straight-sided highball glass simply can't replicate.

- Hotel Lounges & Restaurants: Add a touch of class to your bar service that discerning guests will appreciate.
- Gastropubs & Bistros: The perfect commercial gin balloon glasses to complement a high-quality food and drink offering.
