480ml Oenologue Expert Wine Glass

Description

This piece steps up in bowl size compared to the rest of the Batard range, purpose-built to give full-bodied reds proper room to swirl and open. At 480ml, it's aimed squarely at fine dining and premium food service settings, though it holds up just as well in elevated home use. SON.hyx material, a titanium-reinforced stem and a laser-cut fine rim keep the technical build consistent throughout. There's a dedicated branding zone beneath the bowl.

Tasting Notes: Bold reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Merlot get real benefit from the spacious bowl on this glass, which gives them enough surface area to swirl and develop fully. Complex, aromatic reds like Chianti, Zinfandel or Sangiovese release their bouquet more generously here too. Its larger, stemmed profile also makes it a natural fit as a premium water goblet, often set alongside smaller wine glasses on a formal table.

SON.hyx Glass: This glass uses SON.hyx material, engineered for exceptional brilliance and a 99.99% true-to-life transmission of wine colour, so nothing about the glass gets between the drinker and the wine's actual appearance. It's a material built around visual accuracy as much as durability. For venues wanting a technical edge in their glassware, it's a meaningful upgrade over standard glass.

Titanium Stem Treatment: A completely seamless, flexible pulled stem forms the base of this glass, treated with titanium reinforcement to significantly increase its resistance to twisting breakage over time. This targets the exact point where fine stemware most often fails under handling stress. It's a durability feature built in without compromising the glass's refined silhouette.

Ultra-Fine Rim: A laser-cut, ultra-fine rim gives this glass a noticeably cleaner drinking sensation, while built-in reinforcement keeps that fine edge durable under daily use. It's a detail that brings a premium feel to the glass without making it impractical for busy service. Guests are likely to notice the difference on first sip.

Dishwasher Endurance: This glass is rated fully industrial dishwasher safe, tested in laboratory conditions to survive more than 4,000 wash cycles without clouding or scratch damage. For venues with heavy daily glassware turnover, that translates into real savings on replacement costs over time. It's built to handle the pace of commercial washing without losing its finish.

Choosing a Decoration Method

This glassware can be decorated three ways, and the main difference between them is durability in the wash.

Pad printing is the standard method, with prices shown on this page. The logo is applied by pad print and cured in a low fire oven. Because the cure temperature is low, the print isn't dishwasher safe and the glasses should be hand washed.

Decal printing solves that. The decal is fired at high temperature in a kiln, fusing the artwork permanently into the glass surface. Decal printed glassware is guaranteed dishwasher safe, which makes it the right choice for pubs, clubs, and cafes where glasses go through commercial washers daily. Decals cost more than pad printing, so ask our sales team for pricing.

Laser etching, also priced on this page, engraves the logo directly into the glass for a frosted, single colour finish. Etching is permanent, dishwasher safe, and won't fade over time.
