Cognac Glass and Wine Glass Care Guide

Quick Answer

Hand-wash your cognac and wine glasses with warm water and mild soap, dry them with a lint-free cloth, and store them upright or hanging to avoid chips and cloudiness.

How to Clean and Store Your Glasses

1. Rinse Immediately After Use: Pour out leftover liquid and rinse the glass with warm water. This prevents stains and odors from setting, especially with wine or spirits. Don't let residue dry; it becomes harder to remove.
2. Hand Wash with Mild Soap: Fill a plastic or rubber basin with warm water and a few drops of mild dish soap. Wash each glass individually using a soft sponge or cloth. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that can scratch the surface. Never use dishwasher detergent; it is too harsh for crystalline glass.
3. Rinse and Inspect: Rinse thoroughly with warm water to remove all soap residue. Hold the glass up to the light to check for streaks or spots. If you see any, rewash that area. Soap residue leaves a film that dulls the glass.
4. Dry with a Lint-Free Cloth: Use a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth to dry each glass. Gently twist the cloth inside the bowl and stem to absorb all moisture. Air drying can leave water spots. Avoid paper towels; they leave lint and scratches.
5. Store Upright or Hanging: Store glasses upright on a shelf or hang them by the base from a glass rack. Do not stack them inside each other, as this can cause chips. Keep them away from high-traffic areas. Storing upside down traps odors and can cause the rim to chip.
