1. Don’t use the dishwasher. There are two very good reasons not to put your wine glasses in the dishwasher along with your dinner plates. One is that your average dishwasher in incredible harsh on delicate glassware. Your dishwasher is designed to remove baked on muck from your cooking dishes and this is way too rough. At best you’ll chip a few glasses, at worst you’ll break them. The second reason is that you’re smearing your glasses with all your dinner left-overs. Regardless of the wash and rinse cycles you’re still trying to clean your wine glasses in the same water used to wash greasy dinner plates.

2. If you must use a dishwasher, don’t use the rinse aid. Most dishwashers use a ‘rinse aid’. The role of the rinse aid is to help dry the dishes. Water on plates and cutlery or any polished surface will form a ‘bead’. So when it dries, it leaves the outline of the ‘bead’ on the plate. The role of rinse-aid is to break down the surface tension in the water so it runs off the plates and doesn’t ‘bead’ on them. So rinse-aid is especially wine glass unfriendly as it leaves a coat of ‘detergent’ on the glass.

3. Wash them by hand in hot water. The best possible clean is to rinse your glasses in hot water and let them dry. 83 degrees Celsius is the magic number that will sterilise glassware. Most commercial glass washers use this temperature and above. And note I said commercial glass washers, not domestic dishwashers.
