Volare – wine and champagne glasses for restaurants

Volare – professional glasses for the catering industry

The Volare Banquet collection has been developed as functional glassware for professional service. Fine Dine emphasises the balance between the glass’s appearance, its durability and its practicality.

This is particularly important in restaurants, hotels and catering establishments, where the glassware must look good on the table whilst also withstanding the daily cycle of service, collection, washing and preparation.

Volare Banquet – glasses designed for banquets and catering

The name Volare Banquet itself aptly describes the collection’s main purpose. These glasses are suitable for banquet halls, hotels, catering companies, restaurants and event venues serving large numbers of guests.

The simple design makes it easy to use the same set for a variety of table settings – from classic weddings to conferences and corporate dinners.

Volare wine glasses

The collection includes Volare Banquet wine glasses in 320 ml and 430 ml sizes. The two sizes allow the service to be tailored to the style of wine and the standards of the venue.

The larger glass can be used for red wines, amongst other things, whilst the smaller size works well for white wines and more versatile service.

Volare Banquet 430 ml glass

The Volare Banquet 430 ml is the largest wine glass in the current Fine Dine range. The larger bowl provides more space for the wine and makes it suitable for many red wines and other styles requiring a larger glass.

This size can serve as the main red wine glass for restaurant, banquet and hotel service.

Volare Banquet 320 ml wine glass

The 320 ml glass is a more compact design suitable for white wine or as a versatile glass in establishments wishing to limit the number of different glassware models.

The smaller capacity can be particularly practical at banquets and events where several types of glassware are placed at a single place setting.

Volare 180 ml champagne glass

The collection is complemented by the Volare Banquet champagne glass with a capacity of 180 ml. Its slender shape is designed for champagne, prosecco and other sparkling wines.

This glass is ideal for toasts, aperitifs, weddings, galas and special hotel events. Fine Dine specifies a height of 225 mm and a diameter of 70 mm for this model. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Volare for red wine

For red wine, it is advisable to choose a larger bowl, which leaves more space between the surface of the drink and the top of the glass.

In the Volare range, the natural choice for this purpose is primarily the 430 ml variant, although the final choice should depend on the style of wine being served.

Volare for white wine

For white wine, a more compact 320 ml glass can be used. This allows for a proportionate table setting and minimises the amount of glassware taking up space on the table.

This is particularly practical in hotels, catering and at banquets, where the efficient preparation of a large number of place settings is essential.

Volare for prosecco and sparkling wines

The slender 180 ml glass is well suited to prosecco, cava, champagne and other sparkling wines.

It can be used both for table service and during a welcome toast or aperitif.

The short stem of the Volare Banquet

One of the practical distinguishing features of the Volare Banquet is its relatively short stem. Fine Dine points out that this makes it easier to place the glasses in professional dishwasher racks. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

In the catering industry, this has real operational significance, as very tall glasses may require more specialised racks and more storage space.

The glass’s sturdy and stable construction

Fine Dine describes the Volare Banquet as glasses with a sturdy stem ensuring durability and stability. The design has been tailored to the needs of professional service. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

This is an important feature in the catering and hospitality sectors, where glasses are often transported in large batches and used intensively.

Volare for professional dishwashers

Fine Dine points out that the collection has specifications suitable for professional dishwasher cleaning. The shorter stem also makes it easier to place the glasses in the racks. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}

In a catering establishment, it is also advisable to use the correct glassware baskets, suitable detergents and appropriate washing parameters.

Volare for restaurants

In a restaurant, Volare can form a simple system comprising glasses for red and white wine as well as sparkling wines.

Three basic sizes make it easier to organise the back-of-house area and may be sufficient in establishments that do not require a specialised glass for every grape variety or appellation.

Volare for hotels

In hotels, the glasses can be used in restaurants, at banquets, conferences, weddings and other events.

The simple design allows the same range to be used in a variety of settings without the need to match the glassware to a specific event theme.

Volare for wedding venues

Banquet glasses must look good when arranged in large numbers on a single table. Volare maintains a simple, contemporary design, ensuring it does not visually overwhelm the table setting.

Three sizes allow you to put together a set for wine and toasts without introducing a multitude of different glass designs.

Volare for catering

In catering, the transport, storage and subsequent washing of large numbers of glasses are particularly important. The design of the Volare Banquet range has been specifically tailored to such applications.

The short stem and simple shape can make work easier when preparing for larger events.

Volare for conferences and events

At conferences, galas or corporate dinners, glassware should be aesthetically pleasing, but above all easy to prepare in large quantities.

Volare can be used for wine during dinner and for champagne or prosecco during toasts and welcome drinks.

Simple and contemporary design

Fine Dine describes the Volare Banquet collection as one with a simple and contemporary design. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}

This style is versatile – the glassware complements classic white porcelain, coloured tableware, modern cutlery and various types of table linen.

Clear glassware for versatile table settings

All current Volare Banquet glasses are available in a clear finish. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Neutral glass does not compete with the colour of the wine and complements various styles of porcelain and table settings well.

Volare as a cost-effective glassware system for the catering industry

Fine Dine positions Volare Banquet as a range for customers seeking good-quality glassware with a simple design at an affordable price point. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}

This is a key distinguishing feature in venues where dozens or hundreds of identical glasses are required and the unit cost significantly impacts the overall cost of the tableware.

Volare and specialist sommelier glasses

Volare Banquet is not a collection whose main aim is to offer a separate glass for every grape variety. Its strength lies in a simpler, practical system of three basic sizes.

As a result, the range is particularly well-suited to catering, hotels, banquets and restaurants with a more versatile wine list.

How to choose a Volare glass?

In the current collection, the choice is simple: 430 ml can be considered for fuller-bodied wines, 320 ml as a smaller or more versatile wine glass, and 180 ml for champagne and other sparkling wines.

When purchasing for the catering industry, it is also worth determining the number of glasses required simultaneously during a full service.

How many Volare glasses should you buy for a restaurant?

You should not calculate glassware requirements based solely on the number of seats. You need to take into account guest turnover, the washing cycle time, the number of wine varieties and operational stock.

In wedding venues and catering settings, the number of glasses required may be significantly higher due to the need to set all tables before the event begins.

Volare glass packaging

Fine Dine specifies packs of 6 for the current Volare Banquet range, although the price on the product page is quoted per item and sales are made in full packs. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

When planning a purchase for a restaurant or catering business, it is worth taking this packaging option into account.

Volare for home use too

Volare glasses can also be used at home. Their simple design works well for an everyday dinner, a larger family gathering or serving wine at home.

Three basic sizes allow you to put together a small, functional set for wine and sparkling wines without having to buy lots of specialised glasses.
