Storing your wine glasses
Even if you’re an amateur sommelier, it’s entirely possible that you’re making a major mistake when it comes to storing your wine glasses. While storing your glasses rim-down may keep dust from getting into them, it could also make them more prone to breakage.
Since the rim of a wine glass is its thinnest—and therefore, most delicate—part, storing a glass rim-down actually increases its risk of developing pressure cracks over time.
Instead, stand them stem-down and you’ll not only increase their longevity, but reduce the risk of getting moisture trapped inside the cup.
