Wine Storage

Wine Storage
Great wine is the perfect pairing for a favorite meal or social gathering. However, the right glass size and shape are required to bring out the best notes from varietals. To maintain optimal tasting temperature, larger mouth glasses are typically recommended for reds, whereas smaller mouth glasses are better for whites.
With the need for different glasses, social wine connoisseurs can rack up a collection of stemware. What should you do with it all? We offer a few tips to stay organized.
Group by Glass Type
Red wine glasses, white wine glasses, champagne flutes, and more—as previously mentioned, your collection will most likely contain a variety of glass types, particularly if you like to mix up your drink options.
Keep stemware together based on commonalities. First, group like with like, with identical glass types together. Then, consider grouping glasses by the wine type they’re paired with for quick recognition and reference when you’re ready to pour.
Hang Them Upside Down
Store your glasses upside down. Why? To keep dust out of your glass while it sits.
A variety of wine glass rack options are available to meet all style and décor preferences. If you can’t find one you like, get creative and crafty!
Make Glasses Part of the Overall Display
To avoid a cluttered appearance, think of your glass arrangement in terms of how it fits with your entire wine display, including stemware, wine bottles, stoppers, charms for stem bases, and bottle openers.
Find a way to organize and group all in a logical manner that makes sense to you. Keep needed items within quick reach of each other for speedy process and presentation.
