Custom Glassware for Bars and Restaurants



The service industry has taken a really big hit from the recession, but those establishments that remain find themselves in a position to really set a firm hold in their location. Though many establishments have folded, competition is still fierce in the service industry as new establishments are taking advantage of low lease rates on commercial property. New and existing bar and restaurants need an edge on the competition and that is why they should get custom glassware items. Customizable glassware items allow establishments like bars and restaurants to serve drinks in glasses that have custom printed logos on them. This adds legitimacy to your business and gives you the option of selling these glasses to avid customers.

Restaurants and bars require different kinds of drinkware items. Restaurants typically need drinking glasses, wine glasses and coffee mugs depending on what’s available on their menu. Bars require drinking glasses, beer mugs, pint glasses, cocktail glasses and much more depending on what types of drinks they serve. Customizing these items can really help when it comes to customer retention rates and customer satisfaction. Every restaurant and bar is also a brand with a logo, these custom glasses promote that brand and help get the word out about an establishment.

Restaurants and bars, especially those in the tourist industry, can gain huge profits from selling their glassware items. Selling custom items also serves as a promotional venture because it creates brand promotion and allows others to see your company logo outside of its location. Offer these custom items to customers at their table or by setting up a shop in a high traffic location in the bar or restaurant. Custom glassware items can also be offered as part of specials or deals (example: The daily special comes with a free custom drinking glass).

The legitimacy custom glassware items bring to a restaurant or bar cannot be understated. The most successful establishments have custom drinkware items and at the costs offered by DiscountMugs.com, it’s ill-advised not to get custom glassware items for your establishment. DiscountMugs.com is a web-based factory direct company that sells promotional products from wine glasses and cocktail glasses to beer mugs and shot glasses. They are a factory-direct so their prices are extremely competitive and are the number one distributors of drinkware items in the country so owners can rest assured DiscountMugs.com is a reliable company.

Barack Obama Plates

Avid collectors know that presidential memorabilia can be very valuable. The priciest presidential memorabilia right now comes from the George Washington era and can sell in the four digits and beyond.  But it’s not just old memorabilia that has such high value; it’s also important and historic memorabilia like items from the Kennedy and Nixon eras that are highly valued. Being the first black president, Barack Obama Collector items will certainly be valuable in years to come. It also helps that President Obama is initiating big changes because that means his presidency, good or bad, will be more historic. Here are the top four collector items for the 44th President of the United States Barack Obama:

1.    Barack Obama Collectors Plates with Gold Rim – Commemorative plates are very popular collector items; in good condition these items can be extremely valuable. This Barack Obama Collectors Plate with Gold Rim has a white frame, gold rim with a picture of Barack Obama in front of the United States Flag. In small writing next to him it says “44th President of the United States”. Written in the along the circular white frame of these commemorative plates are his title and name. This commemorative plate was the most popularly sold after winning the 2008 election which makes it historically relevant.

2. Barack Obama Six-Ounce Toasting Flutes – Toasting flutes symbol the celebration of his election and inauguration, because these represent specific events, they are considered valuable for those seeking to retrieve items from that time period. There are two separate types of Obama Toasting Flutes, the standard toasting flute and twisted stem toasting flutes. The difference is purely aesthetic as both represent the same image of Barack Obama with his title and name.

3. Barack Obama Presidential Seal Coffee Mugs – These coffee mugs have a picture of Barack Obama on an adapted form of the United States Presidential Seal. Sometimes highly useful items like coffee mugs are more valuable than other forms of memorabilia. These coffee mugs are currently the most popular drinkware memorabilia items for the 44th President. Of all the Barack Obama collector items these coffee mugs can be used with the most frequency. While it’s best to keep items in pristine condition, sometimes a little use can add character.

4. Barack Obama Black History Plates – Barack Obama is a unique president because his ethnicity makes it instantly historic. This major historic even in Black History can be celebrated with these Barack Obama Black History Plates. These plates have a gold rim white frame and picture of Barack Obama and Martin Luther King. In the white frame reads “Celebrating Our Black History” at the top and “A Dream Fulfilled” at the bottom.  The plate also includes printed signatures of Barack Obama and Martin Luther King. These plates are great collectors items and will only increase in value over time to those interested in black history.

Types of Glassware Needed for Bar or Restaurant



20oz Libbey Mixing Glasses

Barware

So you always wanted to open up a bar or restaurant but had no idea you would need so much stuff. We at DiscountMugs can’t help you out with your furnishing or interior design but we certainly can help you find the right glassware items. Obviously the type of glassware you choose will depend largely on the establishment you decide to use them in. If you’re opening up a bar, there are standard glassware items you’ll need and more niche types of glassware you’ll want to impress your patrons. If you’re opening up a restaurant the glassware items you’ll use will depend on the type of drinks you’ll be serving. You can also choose to get these items customized with your restaurant or bar logo on them or get the glassware blank for a more subtle approach.

Bar ownership is a colorful and fun endeavor, but getting all the personalized glassware items can be hectic so be sure to get the right type and quantity of glassware items. First of all, you’re going to want get standard drinking glasses to give your patrons the option of drinking non-alcoholic beverages. Drinking glasses range in size but the average glass should be around twelve-to-fifteen-ounces.  Next you’ll want to get the always classic conical pint glasses; the standard pint is sixteen fluid ouches so be sure to get a sixteen ounce glass if you’re going to be serving it as an official “pint glass”. A pint glass can be used to serve many different types of beer but is best served with Ales and darker beers.

The next type of glass you’ll want to get for your bar is the Pilsner Glass; this glass is long and slender and ranges in size. The Pilsner glass is used to serve Pilsner beer which is a pale lager that continues to grow in popularity in the United States. Many avid beer drinkers prefer to drink Pilsner beer in a Pilsner Glass, so having them available is a good way to impress your clientele. In terms of liquor glasses, most bars have cocktail glasses and shot glasses available for customers as well.  While many bars stop at several different types of glasses, other glasses that can be used to further impress your customers like beer steins, wheat beer glasses, yard glasses, beer boot glasses and stemware.

Restaurants are not that different when it comes to glassware items, but depending on the restaurant, you’ll want to focus more on the stemware and cocktail glasses than the beer and shot glasses. Stemware items vary in style but include categories like wine glasses, brandy snifters, champagne flutes and goblets. Make sure you have both white and red wine glasses as wine drinkers are particular about their glassware. Also if you’re serving brandy, be sure to have brandy snifters as they are very distinct glasses that add a high level of formality and class to your establishment.  The cocktail glass also has a very distinct shape and is used to serve popular drinks like martinis, daiquiris and margaritas. Restaurants must also supply standard glassware items like drinking glasses for non-alcoholic beverages like soda, juice and water.

Celebrating Special Occasions with Champagne Flutes



Champagne flutes are these easily recognizable glasses due to their tulip shaped bowls that are specifically designed to enhance the bubbles that come out from the drink as well as to increase the enjoyment of the aroma and flavor. Even when you do not use champagne flutes all the time, it can be turned into decoration items. Just by including them into a glass showcase, it personifies elegance for the whole home.

Champagne flutes are in the category of drink ware. Champagne flutes are easily recognizable because of their tall stem glass and narrow bowl. Normally, the bowl of the flute resembles a narrow wine glass or even a trumpet shape. The bowls are normally very narrow and straight-sided.

The stems on the champagne flutes allow the drinker to hold the glass without changing the temperature of the drink caused by the heat from the hand whereas the bowl was designed exclusively to retain the drink?s signature carbonation. It is made to reduce the surface are at the opening of the bowl. People prefer the champagne flute as opposed to the champagne coupe or saucer since the latter gives way for carbonation to dissipate even more rapidly than that of a standard wine glass. Also, the smaller diameter of the champagne flutes enable for more flutes to be carried on a tray at one serving.

While champagne flutes are most commonly used for champagne and sparkling wines, flutes are also used for certain beers, especially Belgian lambic and gueuze. These kinds of beverages are brewed with wild yeast and often fruited and the end result is a tart flavor kind of taste. They also come with a certain degree of carbonation, making them similar to sparkling white wines and the champagne flute an ideal choice of glassware.

Champagne flutes add a touch of elegance to any celebration and party. If you are planning to throw a party and are in need of champagne flutes, you can get these in either plastic or glass. Glass of course exudes a greater sense of luxury and it makes that magical ringing sound when your guests clink their glasses together for a toast to a magnificent party.

Many online and retail party planning stores supply a great deal of champagne flutes ranging from simple to elaborate, etched, engraved, crystal, glass or plastic. If you throw parties often or hold celebrations in your place, it is best to invest in a good set of champagne flutes. Or else, you can always rent champagne flutes from party supply rental stores. Champagne flutes also make for a great wedding gift or anniversary gift as well as toasting sets for a couple.

Discountmugs.com offers a wide selection of champagne flutes that can be customized to your liking. All of our champagne flutes are back by a 110% satisfaction guarantee.

A Toast, to the Champagne Flute!



Toasting is an age old custom dating back to Roman and Greek times as far as the 6th century B.C. The word ?toast? comes from the act of placing a piece of burnt toast on top of the wine of the loving cup. People did this because the wine back then was very acidic and the toast took away some of the acidity. After the bowl was passed around and everyone had a drink, the host would take the last drink and eat the saturated piece of burnt toast. This was all done in honor of the host’s guests.

Today, we still toast, especially at weddings. Instead of using a bowl like they did thousands of years ago, we use champagne flutes. After all, a toast isn’t a toast unless your personalized champagne glasses are a part of it. It just wouldn’t be the same to end a toast with the raising of the glasses if the glasses were anything but champagne glasses.

So, toasting is an age old tradition. Because of this, consider using champagne flutes as your wedding favors. You could have your names, the date of your wedding, and a pretty design graphic printed on the side of the glasses. Then, have the champagne glasses placed at the tables of your guests.

When it comes time to toast the bride and groom, have all of your guests lift up their personalized champagne flutes and toast. This will bring a lot of joy to both you and the guests. Be sure to tell your guests that the glasses are your gift to them. And thank them for joining you on this very special day.

Your guests will bring the personalized champagne glasses home and use them on special occasions. Every time they use the glasses, they will be reminded of your wedding. Only joyful memories will be associated with those champagne flutes and this will bring happiness to your guests when they use them.

Toasting and champagne glasses go hand in hand. When the toast is made to you and your spouse, remember that you are following an old tradition. And, you have a room full of guests that are also following that tradition. Tradition is what is going to start your marriage off right. And, tradition, by keeping those beautiful champagne flutes, is what will keep your marriage going strong.
