- Pro tip: carafes and jugs should be rinsed out with lukewarm water immediately after use so that the remains of the drink do not stick to the inside of the glass
- Pro tip: The tannin present in wine and wine-based beverages stubbornly sticks to the crystal glass. To clean, carefully fill the glasses with lukewarm water diluted with a little vinegar, leave it to work for a short time and then rinse it out with water. We also recommend dust-free cloths for drying.
- Pro tip: There are so-called decanter dryers for the extensive drying of decanters and carafes. Here the decanters and carafes are placed upside down so that they can drain and dry on the inside.
