:: Glassware ::

   Storing clean glasses
     Store clean glasses upright on a ventilated shelf. A better way is to hang them upside down from a wooden glass rack.

   To properly clean wine glasses

 

   Wash them in lukewarm water with a little bit of soap.

   To clean fine glassware
     Pour a cup of vinegar to a sink of warm water. Carefully dip the glass in the solution and let dry.
    :: Serving Wine ::

   Serving wine
     Wine glasses should be filled halfway or less. This allows you to swirl it and helps revive the smell.

   Choosing wine glasses
   The best wine glasses are the ones that have a shape that gets tighter at the top. This allows the aromas to be trapped and funneled towards your nose for smell.
