The Libbey Vina 18 oz is what most Calgary operators reach for when they need one glass that handles both a bold red and a Chablis without switching stemware mid-service. The chip-resistant rim matters more than people think; it's the difference between replacing 40 glasses a month and replacing 8. The pulled stem is one piece of glass rather than a glued joint, so it survives commercial racks and a couple thousand dishwasher cycles.
Libbey Vina Case of 12 Wine Glasses - 18 oz. for Enhanced Wine Enjoyment: Professional Grade for Canadian Food Service
The Vina 18 oz is machine-made by Libbey, not hand-blown, which is the whole point. You get a wide bowl and a thin top rim that look like nicer stemware without the breakage rate that comes with crystal. It's built for rooms where glasses hit bus tubs 50 times a night. When your Friday service is turning tables every 90 minutes and the dish pit is cycling faster than the bar can restock, rim integrity is what keeps you from pulling chipped glasses off trays mid-shift.

"We ship a lot of Libbey Vina to wineries in the Okanagan and banquet halls in Toronto. One customer replaced their entire 300-seat room with the 18 oz and saw replacement orders drop by half after switching from thinner imports. The chip-resistant rim is the reason. Worth stocking a spare case."
Wine service is one of the few parts of a beverage program where the glass is doing real work. A narrow bowl traps aromatics; a thick rim muddies the first sip. The Vina 18 oz splits that difference well. Wide enough for an Okanagan Cabernet, restrained enough for a Riesling on a tasting flight. The pulled stem is one continuous piece of glass, and that joint is where most cheap stemware fails first. If you're outfitting a new wine program or replacing a mismatched set, this is the case you order and stop thinking about. You'll find matching service pieces in our non food range.
Quality & Specifications
Machine-made, lead-free glass with a pulled stem and fire-polished rim. Capacity is 18 oz to the rim. Height 8 7/8 inches, top diameter 2 3/4 inches, base 3 1/4 inches, widest bowl point 3 1/2 inches. Case pack of 12. The bowl fits a proper 5 to 6 oz restaurant pour with headroom, so aroma stays concentrated and you don't slosh on the walk from bar to table.
Professional Applications
Restaurant wine service across a mixed red and white list. Winery tasting rooms running a six-pour flight without re-pouring. Banquet halls doing 300 covers of plated wine service. Hotel bars pouring by the glass. Catering companies setting up bars at corporate events. Wine pairing dinners where the same glass has to carry a Riesling course and a Syrah course back to back.
Storage & Handling
Store in a cool, dry place. Use glass racks with dividers; don't stack rim-to-foot, this model isn't designed for it. Keep them off open shelving where passing trays can clip the stems. With reasonable handling, a commercial Vina will hold up 2 to 3 years of daily service.
Canadian Sourcing
Made in the USA by Libbey, a supplier Canadian food service has been buying from for decades. Sizing is consistent across batches, which matters when you're ordering 20 cases for a room and the table settings need to match. We stock this at our Calgary hub and ship coast-to-coast to all 10 provinces and 3 territories.
