New Year's Eve Glassware for Restaurants
New Year's Eve is a time for celebration, and for many people, that means heading out to their favorite restaurants to ring in the new year. As a commercial chef, it's essential to have the right glassware to serve your guests on this festive occasion.
Ensure that your guests have a memorable New Year's Eve experience with stylish and reliable glasses. Here are some of the best types of glassware for New Year's Eve.
Champagne Flutes
Champagne is the quintessential New Year's Eve drink and no celebration would be complete without it. That's why champagne flutes are a must-have for any restaurant. These elegant glasses are designed to showcase the bubbles and effervescence of champagne. Look for glasses with a tall, narrow shape and a thin stem, like this 8 oz. Libbey 7500 Vina Flute Glass, to keep the champagne cool and ensure that your guests can enjoy it to the fullest.
Wine Glasses
Wine is another popular drink for New Year's Eve, and there are many different types of wine glasses to choose from. For red wine, look for glasses with a wider bowl to allow the wine to breathe and enhance its flavors. For white wine, choose glasses with a smaller bowl to preserve the wine's delicate aromas. With a sleek body and sturdy base and stem, this Libbey 16 oz. Vina Tall Wine Glass is great for either red or white wine. Whatever type of wine you're serving, make sure your glasses are crystal clear and free from any defects.
Martini Glasses
For guests who prefer something a little stronger than champagne or wine, a martini is a classic New Year's Eve cocktail. Martini glasses are designed with a wide, cone-shaped bowl and a long stem to keep the drink cool and prevent the guest's hand from warming the drink. We recommend the Libbey 8 oz. Vina Martini Glass for its durability and versatility.
Shot Glasses
If your restaurant is offering shots on New Year's Eve, make sure you have plenty of shot glasses on hand. The Libbey 1 1/2 oz. Fluted Shot Glass features a classic design with thick and sturdy walls. These small glasses are perfect for serving liquor or liqueurs and are essential for any New Year's Eve celebration.
Highball Glasses
Highball glasses are tall, narrow glasses that are perfect for serving mixed drinks and cocktails. They're also great for non-alcoholic drinks like soda or juice. Look for glasses with a heavy base, like this 10oz. Libbey 2310 Lexington Tall Hi-Ball Glass. Clear glass is ideal, as it allows your guests to see the contents of their drink.

Beer Mugs
Finally, don't forget about beer! Beer mugs are a classic way to serve beer on New Year's Eve. These large, sturdy glasses are perfect for German-style beers or any other type of beer that your guests might enjoy. Look for glasses with a sturdy handle and a thick base, like this 22 oz. Libbey 5360 Beer Glass, to prevent spills and make sure they're easy to hold.
