Glassware

Selling Wine By The Glass
Wine that is being sold by the glass must be sold in measures of 125ml, 175ml or 250ml measures.

The wine must pass through a government stamped measure somewhere between the bottle and the consumer, this could be a legally verified thimble measure but by far the most popular method is to use a government stamped glass.

In order to make the marking more subtle all of Utopia’s CE’ed glasses carry the stamp on the foot of the glass and the line only on the bowl of the glass. In order to provide a flexible solution to our customers Utopia is providing six wine glasses that are lined at 250ml, 175ml and 125ml. These are Reserva, Sara, Maldive, Imperial Plus, Imperial, Saxon and Polycarbonate Stemware. This gives our customers maximum flexibility with minimum outlay as only one glass will be needed to cover three serve sizes. The single line option will of course continue to be available.

A full range of stemware, covering all uses from wine tasting and fine dining to high volume banqueting.

Each piece has been developed specifically for the hospitality market, offering functionality for the professional life that the glass has been designed for, without sacrificing style or value.

Introducing...The Perfect Pint


Date: 6th June 2011





Normal toughened glass breaks into small pieces across the whole glass. Generally on mainstream 'blown' beer glasses such as Conicals, Tulips and Nonics the broken pieces are larger towards the top of the glass.

The Perfect Toughened Pint has been designed for optimum strength and breakage so that when it does finally shatter it will break into roughly twice as many pieces as standard fully toughened glassware, fragments so small it is impossible to cause serious lacerations.

Specialist drinks like brandy, liqueur and champagne deserve a special glass. We are confident that you will find the ideal glass in our collection to suit your needs.

The first taste is with your eyes!
