The Luigi Bormioli Accademia del Vino flute is a commercially produced sparkling wine and champagne glass designed for busy front-of-house service. Each glass holds 185ml and stands 234mm tall, giving a proportionate, elegant profile that works equally well at restaurant tables, bar counters, and banqueting settings. It is sold in cases of 24, which suits the restocking needs of most licensed venues.
The glass is formed from Luigi Bormioli’s SON.hyx formula, a toughened glass composition that maintains optical clarity through heavy commercial dishwasher use. Where standard glassware gradually clouds or loses its finish, SON.hyx glass is engineered to resist the chemical and thermal stresses of machine washing over many hundreds of cycles — a practical advantage in any operation running high glass turnover each service.
From an operational standpoint, the Accademia del Vino flute offers a number of benefits worth noting:
- High clarity glass presents sparkling wine and champagne attractively without distortion
- The angled bowl design helps moderate alcohol aroma, allowing varietal character to come through
- Robust construction reduces breakage rates compared with thinner decorative glassware
- Case quantity of 24 supports a realistic par stock for table service or bar use
- Dishwasher safe, which simplifies turnaround during busy service periods
There are no special installation or storage requirements beyond adequate racking. The 234mm height is worth checking against your existing glass storage shelving before ordering in volume, particularly if overhead clearance is limited.
This flute is well suited to restaurants, hotels, wine bars, and event caterers looking for a reliable, commercially durable sparkling wine glass at a sensible price point. It is not positioned as a premium crystal line, so operators seeking a higher-specification glass for fine dining may want to consider the wider Accademia range. Equally, for very high-volume or outdoor events where disposable alternatives are sometimes considered, it is worth thinking through the handling environment before committing to glassware of this quality.
If you are unsure which flute best fits your service style or volume, we are happy to talk it through.
