Care & Use
For keeping your glassware at it's best.
Glassware is made to be used, not stored away. With the right care, each piece will last for years and continue to perform as intended.
A few simple habits will help maintain clarity, structure and balance over time.
Everyday Handling
Handle glassware with a light, steady grip. Where possible, hold stemmed glasses by the stem to maintain temperature and reduce pressure on the bowl.
Avoid twisting the bowl against the base or stem. When placing glasses down, set them gently onto the surface rather than sliding.
Washing & Cleaning
Hand washing is recommended for most fine glassware. Use warm water with a small amount of mild detergent and avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals.
If using a dishwasher, ensure glasses are well spaced and secure. Use a low temperature setting and avoid crowded loads.
Rinse thoroughly to remove any detergent residue that may affect clarity or aroma.
Drying & Storing
Air drying is preferred where possible. If polishing, use a clean, lint-free cloth and support the bowl and base separately to avoid pressure.
Store glasses upright in a stable, dust-free environment. Avoid stacking or placing weight on top of delicate pieces.
Decanters & Carafe
Rinse immediately after use to prevent residue from settling. For deeper cleaning, use warm water and decanter beads where required.
Avoid brushes that may scratch the interior. Allow each piece to air dry fully before storing.
General Tips
Avoid sudden temperature changes, as extreme shifts can stress the glass.
Use appropriate glassware for each style where possible, as shape and proportion influence how a wine or spirit is experienced.
With regular care and thoughtful use, your glassware will continue to perform and present as intended over time.
