Troubleshooting
Glass appears cloudy after washing
This is often due to mineral deposits from hard water or detergent residue. Ensure you are using a suitable glass cleaner and drying thoroughly with a soft cloth immediately after washing. For stubborn cloudiness, a soak in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water may help, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
Wine aroma does not seem concentrated
Ensure the wine has had sufficient time to aerate in the bowl. Swirl the wine gently to release its aromas. Check that the rim is clean and free from any smudges that might interfere with fragrance collection.
Glass has a minor chip or crack
Due to their delicate nature, even minor chips can compromise the structural integrity of the glass. It is safest to discontinue use of any chipped or cracked glassware to prevent injury.
