![]() I have consulted with wine producers and association. Wine means many things to many people status, fear, success, ‘you’ve arrived’, enjoyment, good times, tradition and even ceremony. My experience is still a lot of intimidation with respect to wine. Limited and often restricted distribution States of wine: sparkling, still and fortified wines Wine simple to enjoy and yet profoundly complex because of many factors: I have been a former national wine marketing manager for a large off-premise food and wine retailer (280+ retail locations in 30 US States) the love for wine taught me the good practice of using the best methodologies to right side a business which unto itself is complex. I am passionate about the subject as well as art, music, lyric writing and poetry, history, sciences, organization management, and making things less complex James the Wine Guy is also on Facebook, Twitter and most major social medias.Īll brand copyrights are property of the producer. © 2018 James Melendez / James the Wine Guy- All Rights Reserved – for my original Content, drawings, art work, logo, brand name, rating, rating graphic and award and designs of James the Wine Guy. I am glad to have reduced the loss of wine glasses–after all I’d rather spend money on filling them with wine than just having a glass and no wine.Īre there any techniques that you have used that have been helpful?ĭemystifying Wine…One Bottle at a Time from all wine regions around the world. While nothing will stop wine glasses from breaking there is a way to reduce breaking too many in a short period of time. ![]() I have reduced my wine glasses breakage but it was only through a concerted effort. I also don’t use a hot dry setting for a run through of wine glasses.Roll the rack of your wine glasses as minimally as possible – I have started to pack last instead of first. ![]() Not too tightly packed and not too loosely packed Using your dishwashing rack–use carefully pack carefully so this will minimize vibration as much as possible.I have glasses that are hard to obtain and rarely use them or if they are super expensive I’ll use sparingly Your favourite wine glasses–use them accordingly.Don’t start buying too cheap a wine glass they are not a pleasing experience for your wines and they fatigue just as often as the mid-priced ones.It was not necessarily the stem that broke but it was always the bowl. I load wine glasses last and careful to not move them around in dishwashing rack too hard there is a need to reduce less fatigue between bowl and stem. Lastly and the “best” solution is how they are loaded into dishwasher–not too tightly packed but not loosely either. So why use a lesser expensive one? In general, lesser expensive wine glass have a lot of design problems or simply not optimized in terms of design. Also, I prefer to use a stem to pick up glass–not just because of fewer prints it just makes picking up the glass an easy thing to do and it looks fabulous.Īlso, a lesser expensive glasses generally break at the same rate as the more pricey ones. My “experiment” with using stemless was terribly unsuccessful because I just can’t use this glassware because of finger prints. I also tested out a regimen of using mainly stemless and I looked at using a lesser expensive glasses and experimented also with how I can minimise loss in dishwasher. I was amazed that they would just snap and of course the are suppose to be dishwashable I was thinking that perhaps there was a degradation in material of one of my favoured glasses. I was not using them any differently but snap, snap they went in the dishwasher. For my every day wine glass usage I was using a brand that I have used for a great number of years. Where the majority of them breaking were not necessarily on the table but in the dishwasher. this is also with the fact that I have traveled a bunch and entertained very little. I have noticed in the past year I had broken a record number of wine glasses…. But it not just losing one or two but having a large number in a short period of time can be superbly disappointing. It does break my heart when I break a wine glass especially a great one.
