Question 1

What material are the glasses made from?

Accepted Answer

Most of our glasses are made from Tritan — a BPA-free, melamine-free, and taste-neutral material with crystal-clear transparency. Tritan is approved for food contact in accordance with both EU regulations and U.S. FDA standards. Our Palma Shot Glass uses Ecozen (also BPA-free and taste-neutral), and the Falsterbo Longdrink is made from polycarbonate.

Question 2

Do the glasses look and feel like real glass?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The glasses have crystal-clear transparency and are almost impossible to distinguish from real glass. They feature a thin rim, balanced weight, and a steady stem — creating a true glass-like feel the moment you pick them up. Unlike cheap plasticware designed to hit a price point, these are engineered to impress.

Question 3

Are the glasses truly unbreakable?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The glasses are designed to eliminate breakage completely. This prevents safety hazards, reduces cleanup time, and avoids incidents like ice-well contamination in busy bars. They handle tough environments — outdoor terraces, pool areas, nightclubs, events — without cracking, chipping, or shattering.

Question 4

What makes these different from cheap plastic glasses?

Accepted Answer

Cheap plasticware is made thin to keep costs down, with wobbly stems, soft bowls, and a distinctly plastic feel. Barcompagniet's glasses have a substantial, precision-molded base that adds reassuring weight and rock-solid stability. The thin rim makes wine and champagne taste better. The fine clarity elevates the look of your drinks. These are designed to impress — not to compromise.

Question 5

Why do the Stripe glasses have ridges?

Accepted Answer

The subtle ridges on the Stripe collection serve both aesthetic and practical purposes. They add an elegant design element while masking fine scratches and water marks over time — helping the glasses maintain their fresh, premium appearance far longer than smooth plasticware. Guests enjoy a more elegant experience, while you get longer service life and stronger profitability.

Question 6

What collections do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We offer two collections, each with its own character:
Stripe — Refined ribbed design for everyday elegance. Wine glasses (30cl and 38cl), champagne flute (18cl), rocks glass (35.5cl), highball glass (40cl), and pitcher (1.5L).

Palma-Falsterbo— Signature shapes from shot to balloon. Shot glass (6cl), Falsterbo longdrink glass (36cl), and balloon glass (69cl).

Question 7

Does the thin rim really make a difference?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The rim is where your lips meet the glass, so it directly affects how a drink tastes and feels. Our precision manufacturing process delivers a fine, thin rim that makes wine and champagne simply taste better — much closer to the experience of drinking from crystal. It's one of the first things people notice.

Question 8

Are the glasses stable in windy conditions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The substantial base and balanced weight keep the glasses steady even in outdoor settings. The reassuring heft means fewer tip-overs and spills on terraces, by the pool, or at beach clubs — while still feeling elegant in the hand.

Question 9

Do the glasses get cloudy over time?

Accepted Answer

With proper care, no. The Tritan material maintains its crystal-clear transparency through thousands of wash cycles. Using plastic-safe detergent and removing glasses promptly after the dishwasher cycle helps them stay clear and looking new.

Question 10

Are the glasses dishwasher safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The glasses are tested to withstand 2,000 professional dishwasher cycles without visible wear. Use plastic-safe detergent and rinse aid, with a maximum washing temperature of 70°C. Remove promptly after the cycle for best results.

Question 11

How should I hand wash the glasses?

Accepted Answer

Use mild dish soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive tools and brushes. Dry with a soft towel to maintain clarity.

Question 12

What should I avoid when caring for the glasses?

Accepted Answer

Avoid exposure to alcohol-based solvents, benzene, esters, or strong chemicals. Don't use scouring agents or rough cloths. Prevent glasses from rubbing against each other in the dishwasher.

Question 13

How do I handle stains from aniseed or strong flavours?

Accepted Answer

Rinse or wash immediately to prevent staining from essential oils. For existing stains, soak in warm water with dish soap. For odours or marks, use baking soda mixed with warm water, then rinse thoroughly.

Question 14

How can I maximise the lifespan of the glasses?

Accepted Answer

Avoid prolonged contact with milk, coffee, or tea. Store in a dry, well-ventilated space. Follow the dishwasher guidelines above and handle with reasonable care — even though they're unbreakable, treating them well keeps them looking pristine longer.

Question 15

Are the glasses food-safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All materials — Tritan, Ecozen, and polycarbonate — are approved for food contact in accordance with both EU regulations and U.S. FDA standards. They are BPA-free, melamine-free, and taste-neutral, making them safe for all types of beverages.

Question 16

Why are these glasses better for pool areas?

Accepted Answer

Traditional glass creates serious safety risks around pools — broken shards are difficult to see in water and can cause injuries. With direct pool access, drifting glass can create risk and extra costs. Our unbreakable glasses solve this: guests enjoy drinks by the water with a true glass-like feel, and the venue avoids shutdowns and maintenance headaches.

Question 17

Which glasses work best for pool bars and restaurants?

Accepted Answer

The Stripe collection is ideal for pool environments. The Rocks Glass (35.5cl) and Highball Glass (40cl) are perfect for mixed drinks and soft beverages, while the Wine Glass 30cl handles wine and spritz service beautifully. The balanced weight helps glasses stay put in windy service, with fewer tip-overs and spills. The premium look and feel of the glass becomes part of the guest experience — colourful cocktails turn heads and spark copy-orders.

Question 18

Are these suitable for nightclubs?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. In a packed nightclub there's no room for spills, shards, or disruptions. Our unbreakable glasses handle high tempo, crowded spaces, and tough handling without compromising on feel.

Guests get an elegant experience, staff avoid the stress of broken glass, and you save both time and money. In intensive bars, a glass can hit the beer tap and contaminate the ice — forcing a full ice dump and lost sales. That never happens with our glasses.

Question 19

What about events and weddings?

Accepted Answer

At weddings, galas, and corporate events, no one wants to worry about shattered glass or spilled wine. Barcompagniet's glasses offer a practical and elegant solution for both the mingling and the dance floor — they look like crystal but can handle being dropped. The reassuring weight keeps them steady even in wind, with fewer spills and an exclusive feel in the hand.

Question 20

Are they suitable for spa hotels and resorts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Spa environments demand quiet, safe, and relaxing service. Our glasses let guests enjoy a drink in the hot tub, at the relaxation bar, or by the pool — without the risk of broken glass. They look and feel like real glass, feel exclusive in the hand, and work equally well at the spa bar as by the pool.

Question 21

Can they be used for breakfast buffets?

Accepted Answer

Definitely. The glasses are perfect for high-volume service settings like hotel breakfasts and buffets. They combine everyday practicality with a stylish, elevated feel. Ideal for vitamin shots and smoothies — since they won't break when they fall or roll around in the dishwasher.

Question 22

How do these glasses improve operations?

Accepted Answer

They eliminate breakage-related incidents, reduce cleanup time, and create faster, quieter service. Staff appreciate the safer handling and significantly fewer glass replacements. Guests notice the premium feel in every pour. The result: less waste, fewer disruptions, and a consistent premium impression across your venue.

Question 23

What's the ROI on these glasses?

Accepted Answer

The glasses pay for themselves quickly. As the saying goes: one extra sold drink, and the glass has paid for itself. The longer service life (up to 2,000 dishwasher cycles), elimination of replacement costs from breakage, and reduced cleanup time create strong profitability over time.

Question 24

Can the glasses reinforce my brand?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The consistent premium clarity and feel across all your venues — from the bar to the pool to the breakfast buffet — strengthens your brand's impression at every touchpoint. When you serve a beautiful cocktail in a glass that looks and feels like crystal, it elevates the entire experience.

Question 25

Can I get custom branded glasses?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Barcompagniet offers a wide range of durable branded profile glasses in various shapes, colours, and styles. Add your own logo, message, or brand tonality to create a custom look that strengthens your company with every pour. Contact us directly for custom branding options.

Question 26

Can I order a sample before committing?

Accepted Answer
