Will cheap wine glasses get spotty before expensive ones would?

Question

I want to buy new wine glasses, since the ones I have now are awfully spotty. I am willing to pay more money this time if I know that the more expensive ones will not get as spotted from the dishwasher.

Answer 1

Crystal generally sheets water better than glass, however really expensive dishwashing detergent will take you father than expensive glasses.

Answer 2

I don't think more expensive ones will help with the spots at all. Some people think using a dishwashing rinse will help keep the spots away. Spots are caused by minerals in the water. You could try soaking them in vinegar to see if the spots go away.

Answer 3

Do you mean spotty or cloudy?

Dishwasher powder causes some glasses to get cloudy patches, butt here doesn't seem any rhyme or reason as to which ones are affected whether they are expensive or cheap.

The only way to stop it happening is to hand wash -- and thats a pain.

I get medium priced glasses for everyday use and replace them when they go, saving my really expensive ones for special occasions when I hand wash them afterwards..

Answer 4

Buy the crystal ones. I went to a wine class and the wine taste better in crystal. They are spendy so don't hold back. They should not post but I don't think you can put them in the dishwasher.

Answer 5

go to a restaurant supply store if you use them more then once in a while. If they go spotty trash em.

Also, sounds like you need a water softner.

Answer 6

no, it's not the glass, it's what's in the water that leaves the spots, they will break easier though

Answer 7

not the glasses, it's the cleaning agents

Answer 8

depends on wether you live in a hard water area or not

Answer 9

YES...IT'S A MATTER OF QUALITY..
