What is CE Marking?

CE marking is a certification mark that indicates conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards for products sold within the European Economic Area. In the case of glassware, CE marking indicates that a glass will hold a legal measure to the brim, often seen on Pint Glasses, Half Pint Glasses and Shot Glasses.

What is Nucleated Glassware? What is Nucleation?

Nucleation is feature added to glassware to increase bubbles and fizz. By laser etching grooves into the base of a glass, dissolved CO2 has something to hold onto to form bubbles. This helps to provide a stream of fizz in champagne and prosecco, and ensures better head retention for beer service.

What is Toughened Glassware?

Toughened glass is a type of glass used where greater strength or safety is needed. Toughened glass is made by tempering, which involves heating glass up to around 620°C, before quickly cooling the outside of the glass with cold air. The end result is a glass that is up to six times harder to break.
