Glass care

Choosing the right glassware is crucial because its shape can determine which aromas, flavours and other nuances you can detect in a wine. In the wrong glass, these elements can all but disappear. But caring for your glassware is also just as important. So many breakages can happen when handwashing glasses, and with many ranges now designed to be put through the dishwasher, selecting the right machine is essential. Brands such as Miele, as recommended by Riedel, include special fittings to secure wine glasses and their stems, allowing for excellent – and energy efficient – cleaning and care.
