Cleaning Wine Glasses
Ideally, all you need to do is wash a wine glass in warm water and dry with a dry lint-free cloth
If you must use any type of soap or detergent, ensure that the glass is very well rinsed so that there is absolutely no film or residue remaining that could affect the fragrance or flavor of the wine the next time that it is used
Always fully dry the glass and ensure there is no remaining cloudiness on the glass. For proper presentation, you want it to be sparkling clean.
