Glasses
For “everyday” items, such as water glasses, the upside-down storage technique is the simplest and most hygienic. It avoids having to wash them again before use and maintains an adequate level of hygiene.
However, this technique is not suitable for more fragile items, such as stemware, champagne flutes and crystal glasses. Their delicate edges cannot support the weight of the glass and would be at risk of being damaged if stored upside down.
So, what is the best way to store them? Keep reading our article to find out.
How to approach the most delicate items
The upside-down storage method is perfect for glasses that we use every day. When it comes to tumblers and crystal objects, this method of preservation is not effective.
For these types of glasses, the best solution is to store them upright to avoid damaging the edges. This way, you can avoid having to repair or replace glasses due to damage caused by storage.
If you are worried about dust on glasses stored upright, you can simply cover them with a cloth to protect them. This is especially useful for wine glasses, as they can be placed upside down without risk, since they are suspended by the foot.
Glasses, how to maintain them
In addition, there are special cabinets for storing glasses, especially those used for wine. These cabinets are designed to keep them safe, avoiding damage and maintaining hygiene.
One of the main advantages of stemware storage cabinets is that they can be suspended by the foot . This means that cups and glasses can be placed upside down without risk, since they are supported by the foot. Additionally, many stemware cabinets come with adjustable shelves, allowing you to adjust their height to accommodate stemware of different sizes and shapes.
Stemware storage cabinets can also come with doors or glass doors, allowing you to view them without having to remove them from the shelf. This is useful for quickly identifying what you want, without having to open and close the doors or doors.
