After a party with lots of guests, the champagne and wine glasses pile up in the kitchen. You don’t feel like washing them all by hand. Can’t you just put the wine glasses in the dishwasher? Opinions differ on this question. Anyone who has ever had to pick up the shards of a champagne glass from the bottom of the dishwasher is more likely to use washing-up liquid and a washcloth to clean them. However, there is an ingenious trick that allows even delicate champagne glasses to survive every wash cycle without damage.
Putting wine glasses in the dishwasher?
They still exist: spontaneous inspirations that make the scales fall from your eyes. That’s what happened to X user Anna Klatsche. When she didn’t feel like washing her champagne glasses by hand, she simply put them in the cutlery basket of her dishwasher.
Not only do the champagne glasses get clean there – they are also much safer than in the sink. Killing two birds with one stone and not even lifting a finger! You praise tricks like this for everyday life.
Anna’s post caused a storm of enthusiasm online: “How incredibly good, simple!” it says. “This ingenuity almost makes me want to start drinking prosecco …”, writes another user.
But not everyone is thrilled. They are annoyed because their dishwasher doesn’t have a basket – or only one that isn’t the right size. For some it is too small, for others too big, so that the glasses would wobble dangerously with every jet of water.

Very well. A single trick – however ingenious it may be – rarely solves all the world’s problems. But there is a clever alternative to Anna’s idea. Many dishwashers have their own wine glass holder – without their owners knowing about it. Simply open the holder on the sides of the upper basket and lean your wine glasses against it at an angle.
You can safely store both wine glasses and champagne glasses here. Annoying washing up and broken champagne glass stems in the sink are now a thing of the past!
Note: Wine glasses and champagne glasses should not be washed too hot. Therefore, select the eco or gentle program of your dishwasher.
