Custom Glassware
Glassware with logo branding comes in more materials and features than most buyers expect. Alongside clear glass wine glasses with white wine bowls and taster shapes, there are stemless wine glasses designed around specific grape varieties such as pinot noir, merlot and riesling. Crystal champagne flutes and large red wine bowls suit formal dinners and gift sets.
Some features are about temperature. Double walled glasses trap a layer of air between two walls, and the hot beverage glasses include latte glasses and footed coffee glasses for cafe service. Others are about the pour. Plimsoll glasses show a fill line, and the cognac and liqueur glasses include brandy snifters and port glasses. To finish the table, jugs and carafes and decanters handle water, wine and beer by the pitcher.

How Glass Shape, Stem and Wall Affect Use
The stem is the first feature to look at. A stemmed wine glass keeps the hand away from the bowl, so chilled whites and sparkling wine stay cooler for longer and the glass looks formal on a set table. Stemless glasses sit lower and steadier, which helps at standing events, outdoor dinners and anywhere tables get crowded. Bowl size matters too. A large red wine bowl gives the wine room to breathe, while narrow flutes keep bubbles rising in champagne.
Material is the next decision. Glass and crystal give the clearest look and the most weight in the hand, which suits gifts and fine dining. Polycarbonate is made for repeat use where breakage is a worry, and the clear PVC jars and rocks glasses in the plastic range are light enough for single events. Double walled glass keeps hot coffee comfortable to hold and slows warming in iced drinks. Spirit glasses lean on weight, with heavy bases on scotch and rocks styles and a curved bowl on snifters that holds the aroma. Printing suits most styles, and some glasses can be etched, engraved or given an imitation etch.
Double walled glasses are made with two layers of glass and a pocket of air between them. The air gap keeps hot drinks comfortable to hold and helps cold drinks stay cool, which is why they suit espresso and latte service.
Crystal champagne flutes and a decanter suit a wine lover, while a pair of heavy scotch glasses suits a whisky drinker. Double walled coffee glasses work for the office coffee crowd, and large red wine bowls suit formal dinners.
Polycarbonate is a tougher, clearer plastic made for repeat use, while the PVC plastic glassware is lighter and suits single events. Polycarbonate copies glass shapes like champagne flutes and old fashioned tumblers, so it looks closer to the real thing.
Stemless wine glasses are shaped for particular grapes, with wider bowls for pinot noir and merlot and a narrower bowl for riesling. Each shape changes how much air reaches the wine and how the aroma gathers at the rim.
A brandy snifter has a short stem and a round bowl that narrows at the top, holding the aroma of cognac and brandy. A scotch glass is a straight-sided tumbler with a heavy base, made for whisky neat or over ice.
Our product specialist, Rachel, says: "Matching the glassware to the drink is a detail people notice. A heavy-based tumbler is the right choice for spirits, and a fine stem is what guests expect for good wine. Serve a drink in the glass made for it and the whole experience feels better. We can help you pick the shape that gets your gift used and enjoyed."
Choosing Glassware for Gifts and Service Awards
For branded glassware gift sets, pair the glass with what the person drinks. Crystal flutes and a decanter suit a wine lover, a pair of heavy scotch glasses suits a whisky drinker, and double walled coffee glasses work for the office coffee crowd. A matched set of custom glassware in a shape they already use gets pulled out far more than a novelty piece.
