Care for Your Glassware


Like wine, the care and storing of your glassware is extremely important. A dirty, smelly, hot or cold glass can ruin the best of wines. Try not to use detergent when cleaning glasses. Use only extremely hot water, perhaps utilizing rubber gloves. Don’t turn them upside down on a towel or paper to dry as this traps funky aromas within. Don’t chill or heat stemware before use as this will affect the wine poured into them. Never hang glasses upside down directly above a food prep area as cooking smells will get trapped inside. Finally, don’t store your stemware around cleaning products, chemicals or other aromatic foods. Remember, a clean, room temperature glass is a happy glass.
