Currently doing a report on maintaining glassware such as wine glasses, high ball, water glass in the hospitality industry to reduce the amount breakages that occurs.

By chance, can anyone suggest any resource material , journals or website when i can find information that will assist me with it? Your help is apppreciated.

Sorry about double posting, but I wasn’t sure of the best category. I read somewhere on the net that Fostoria basically “invented” purposes for their wine glasses that were manufactured/sold during prohibition. For example, there was/is a stemmed “water glass” that resembles in size a typical wine glass; the stemmed “sherbet” glass is actually a champagne glass; the smaller stemmed glass is a “communion wine glass”, etc. I have these stemmed “multipurpose” glasses in 4 different sizes (and they are beautiful, “Mother of Pearl, iridescent, manufacturing stopped in 1920.) Any information?

I was think of buying a wine box from a supermarket they can be purchased for around £13 are they any good? How long do they last once open and on average how many glasses can you get per box? Or would I be better buying by the bottle? I am just thinking ahead with that day coming up in December when people like to be merry.
Many thanks
