To enjoy your favourite wine, you need to use your best wine glasses, but making sure they stay in one piece, undamaged, and in the best condition can be challenging. In a typical scenario, you've grabbed your favourite bottle of red, popped the cork, and gone to get your glasses from the cupboard. However, you've accidentally knocked your glasses, and they've smashed! You then have the hassle of cleaning up the broken glass; you don't have a glass to drink from, and the moment's gone. You then either go without a glass of wine or resort to using a tumbler! All is not lost, though. Forget about storing your glasses in the cupboard where they're at risk of being knocked; use a wine glass hanging rack or a glass storage box instead.
These two simple solutions will help prevent you from spoiling that moment again. Of course, we can't guarantee that you won't break a glass again, but we can certainly say that it will reduce the risk. Correctly storing your glassware is essential to prevent future chipping, breakage, or cracking. Keep your glasses away from highly used areas and avoid touching either the bowl or base. We recommend storing glasses upside down (bowl down, base up), as this helps prevent dust and other debris from collecting within the bowl.
What is the best way to store glassware?
Wine Glass Hanging Racks
One of the best ways to store glassware is with a wine glass hanging rack. The design of a glass storage rack allows you to insert the stem of any stemmed glassware between metal prongs, with the bowl facing downwards. Different racks will enable you to store various glass capacities ranging in width, height and depth. You can use them in the kitchen or dining room at home. Alternatively, they are popular among bars and restaurants, which often require large quantities and a variety of glass types.

Glass Storage Boxes
If you don't use your glasses often or prefer to keep your glassware stored away, our glass storage boxes are perfect. The boxes are designed with individual compartments to store each glass. Doing so prevents them from knocking into each other and prevents breaking or chipping. Storing your glasses this way keeps them out of harm's way, and it's also popular among people who are moving home or those who transport glassware regularly in bulk for wine tastings.
