FAQs

Are these glasses suitable for white wine?

While primarily designed to enhance the flavors and aromas of red wines due to their generous bowl, these glasses can certainly be used for white wine. However, for optimal white wine enjoyment, a smaller-bowled glass is often preferred to maintain cooler temperatures and concentrate different aromatic profiles.

Are these glasses truly dishwasher safe?

Yes, these Dartington Red Wine Glasses are dishwasher safe. For the best results and to preserve their clarity and shine over time, we recommend using a gentle, low-temperature cycle and ensuring they are spaced properly in the dishwasher rack to prevent contact with other items.

What does 'lead-free crystal' mean?

Lead-free crystal refers to glass that has the brilliance and clarity of traditional leaded crystal but is made without lead oxide. This makes the glasses safer for beverages, more environmentally friendly, and often lighter while retaining excellent optical properties and durability.

What is the capacity of each glass?

Each Dartington Red Wine Glass has a generous capacity of 450ml (45cl), providing ample space for aeration and swirling to fully appreciate your red wine.

What is the height of these glasses?

These glasses stand at 237mm tall, giving them an elegant silhouette that adds a touch of sophistication to your table setting.

How should I store these glasses?

Store your glasses upright in a cabinet or on a hanging stemware rack. Ensure they are placed in a stable position where they won't be easily knocked over, and consider spacing them slightly apart to prevent chipping.

Do these glasses come with a warranty?

Info needed: Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's warranty policy for specific details regarding product warranty.

Troubleshooting

Glasses appear cloudy or streaky after washing.

This can be caused by hard water deposits or detergent residue. Try using a rinse aid in your dishwasher or hand dry immediately with a lint-free cloth. For existing cloudiness, a vinegar rinse can sometimes help.

Wine aroma doesn't seem enhanced as expected.

Ensure you are pouring the correct amount (about one-third full) to allow for proper aeration and swirling. Also, check the wine's temperature; red wines served too cold may have muted aromas. Allow the wine to breathe for a few minutes before tasting.

Glass broke easily during handling or cleaning.

While durable, crystal is still glass and can break if dropped or handled roughly. Always handle by the bowl or stem, avoiding pressure on the rim. When drying, do not twist the stem against the bowl. Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., pouring very hot liquid into a cold glass).

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup

Upon receiving your Dartington Red Wine Glasses, it's recommended to wash them thoroughly before their first use. This removes any manufacturing residues and ensures they are pristine for your first pour.

  1. Unpack Carefully: Remove glasses from packaging, ensuring a firm grip.
  2. Initial Wash: Wash by hand with warm soapy water or place in the dishwasher on a gentle cycle.
  3. Dry: Dry with a lint-free cloth or allow to air dry completely.

Compatibility

These glasses are specifically designed for red wines, including full-bodied varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah/Shiraz, and Zinfandel, as well as lighter reds like Pinot Noir and Grenache. While they can technically hold other beverages, their shape and size are optimized for the aeration and aromatic development characteristic of red wines.

Care Instructions

Proper care will ensure the longevity and pristine appearance of your Dartington crystal glasses.

  • Dishwasher Use: These glasses are dishwasher safe. For best results and to maintain their sparkle, use a gentle cycle with a low-temperature setting. Ensure glasses are spaced adequately to prevent knocking during the wash cycle. Avoid harsh detergents.
  • Hand Washing: If hand washing, use warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the crystal.
  • Drying: For a streak-free shine, dry immediately after washing with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth. Avoid twisting the base and bowl in opposite directions when drying, as this can stress the stem.
  • Storage: Store glasses upright in a cabinet or on a hanging rack where they are protected from dust and accidental knocks. Ensure they are not stored upside down on the rim, as this can trap moisture or damage the rim.
