Foggy Wine Glasses Are Not The End Of The World!
Perhaps one of the most troubling problems which usually occurs that takes the enjoyment out of having a glass of wine is when even though your glasses are clean, look very foggy. We have all encountered it at one time or another and probably all can agree that there is something detracting about a foggy wine glass. Before you decide to throw out your glasses or invest in a set of inexpensive ones with the thought that fogging is inevitable so you might as well be ready to throw them away when the time comes, there are a few things that you can do to prevent fogging and bring back the glorious sparkle and shine to foggy glasses that you remember from when they were first purchased.
I know that some think that it?s perfectly all right to put wine glasses in the dishwasher, and some machines even have special sections on the top rack to hold wine glass stems in place. We all know that crystal should never be put in the dishwasher, so I assume said stem holders are for everyday glasses. My dishwasher has them and I still won?t use it to wash wine glasses. Why? There are two main reasons for this, the first is that dishwasher detergent tends to be a lot more harsh and abrasive and can etch your wine glasses making it fog with repeated washing, and second is that the temperature in a dishwasher can become so hot that it can actually cause a glass to crack.
With that being said, when washing wine glasses by hand the best method is actually quite simple, especially since you should be able to simply rinse out yours glasses to clean them. First, it is important to remember to use lukewarm water and not hot water. Abrasive cleaning agents should be avoided at all costs; and if you feel the need to use soap it is best to only use mild liquid dish soap. Remember to never use hard scrubbing sponges and cloths and to rinse the glasses thoroughly or the soap will leave a film deposit which will fog with build up and time and thus defeats the purpose of taking care when washing your glasses.
If you have taken care of your glasses and hand-washed them and still find they are starting to fog, there is still something you can do. Soak the foggy glasses in straight white vinegar for two to three hours. Then wash with warm water and mild liquid dish soap and repeat the soaking process if necessary to remove the remaining residue. It might be a bit of a time consuming process, but it will be worth it in the end when you have sparkling glasses that look beautiful!

At least for a permanent relationship. I had never rea

The collector of Marilyn Monroe - an important reprint to remind people how Mark Roesler, Anna Strasberg, Robert W. Otto, June DiMaggio etc. fooled the world!

Marilyn Monroe owned the hair curlers in the top part of the photo, which are part of The Mark Bellinghaus Marilyn Monroe Collection. Mr. Bellinghaus purchased the authentic hair curlers five months prior to Marilyn Monroe The Exhibit aboard the Queen Mary which opened in November 2005, directly from the estate of Marilyn Monroe, since Anna Strasberg the owner was having another, a ‘last’ sale. Anna Strasberg gave permission to have all the fakes displayed on the Queen Mary ocean liner and s

Barack Obama may seek to unite the American people, but yesterday's speech about race -- and the Jeremiah Wright controversy more generally -- has certainly polarized the political blogosphere. Obama's speech received near-universal acclaim from liberal bloggers and near-universal condemnation from conservative bloggers. On the left, bloggers were impressed by Obama's political courage in tackling the difficult subject of race, and they described the speech as "brilliant," "riveting," and "pol

Stopping in at the Fixedgeargallery recently, I saw something which chilled me quicker and more deeply than a Sub-Zero wine cooler chills some whiny Upper East Sider's Chardonnay: According to the photographer, "Spring is trying to get unsprung so I took a ride up the trail today only to spot two cool fixies locked up on the Loughborough Mill sign . The Red one is a De Bernardi Track Bike with Deep V rims and rise bars, the black a Spicer with an aero wheel and flat bars. On the other side of
