Drinkware

Hospitality Connect lists 750 drinkware products for restaurants, bars, cafes, hotels and function venues. The range covers tumblers, wine glasses, cocktail glasses, champagne glasses and beer glasses, from Bormioli Rocco, Stolzle and JAB.

Glass choice follows the drink and the venue. Tumblers are the workhorse of the floor, used for water, spirits and soft drink, and they take the most handling, so durability matters more than delicacy. Wine glasses are chosen by bowl shape and capacity, since the bowl controls how the wine opens up. Champagne glasses hold a narrow bowl to keep the bead. Beer glasses follow the pour size and the style being served. Order in full cartons and keep spare cover of the highest-turnover shapes, because glassware breakage is constant on a busy floor.

Why buy drinkware from Hospitality Connect

• Four major brands stocked — Crown, Lucaris, Pasabahce, and Riedel — covering tempered pub glass to fine wine crystal.
• Trade box-of-6, box-of-12, and box-of-48 quantities priced per pack for replenishment without minimum-order pain.
• Tempered options across the beer and water range — built for commercial dishwasher cycles.
• Branded house-pour glassware available on indent through our Crown supply chain.
• Replacement consistency — Crown and Pasabahce ranges held long-term so set top-ups don't drift.
• Freight pooled with other warehouse picks; bulk orders priced for venue fitouts and event-hire fleets.

Drinkware care and longevity

• Pre-rinse before the wash cycle — sugar and citrus bake onto the glass surface if left to dry between service and wash.
• Use spot-free rinse aids in commercial dishwashers to prevent water marks on stemware.
• Air-dry stemware upside-down in racks; towel polishing introduces lint and risks rim chips.
• Inspect rims weekly — chipped rims are a guest-injury risk and should be removed from service immediately.
• Separate stemware from heavy glassware in the wash; impact between bowls and pints causes the most invisible micro-fractures.
• Store glassware right-side-up if rims are taped or coated; upside-down storage on bare shelves traps moisture and spawns bacterial film.
