Souvenir Decanters To Buy In Denmark, UK, USA, Singapore: Danish Design Carafes and glassware

Reidel produce top quality glasses, not just fine and designed for different types of wine, but they demonstrate how the wine smells differently when the aroma is captured by different shapes of glass.

Reidel Glasses And Carafe
Reidel glassware comes in two categories. The most expensive would suit saveurs, couples, wine buffs, dinner parties. The less expensive range might suit savers, and be safer for serving at buffets or raucus parties. The lower priced set offers another bargain currently. You can buy a set of six glasses with a 'free' carafe included in the set.

Another brand you might like is

Eva Solo Carafe and Glassware
A Danish friend showed us his glasses, made by a firm which produces cheaper glasses than Reidel which are heavily promoted in wine shops in London.

Even more striking to the eye and usual in design were the carafes with the metal inserts at the neck designed to stop drips.

This version is designed for keeping warm what we in England call Gluh wein, which I presume is German. The red jacket is for keeping the wine warm. The jacket can be machine washed on a low wash, according to the instructions.

You can buy these in Singapore and worldwide but the best prices are in Denmark, say my Danish friends, so if you are taking a holiday or business trip to Denmark, look for these as gifts to yourself or friends or business colleagues and associates, especially for wedding presents and anniversary gifts.

Wine glass stacker for dishwashers: holiday home or gift

I had an email from this company I'd used before. Nearly didn't open the email, then thought, OK, a quick look. My reward - a new product, and one that's for everybody (not just a particular broken part of a specific machine).

My first thought was that I put glasses on the top rack, following instructions. However, some newer machines seem to have a glassware programme.

Who would find this useful? Me at home. Dishwashers are no longer the preserve of the affluent or innovators. Surveys show they are installed in new homes and upgraded homes. to my suppose I learned they use less water than washing each item by hand in running water.

I must admit I no longer have the time to soak things overnight. I want to wash up using running water and put away crockery, cutlery and glassware after every meal.

Singapore
In Singapore larger old-fashioned flats in older blocks have a mind's scullery. Singapore is a country where water is at a premium. Despite the fact that it seems to bucket down for most of the year, a lot of water is imported from Malaysia. Water is treated so that it's fit to drink and safe for cleaning your teeth and washing, taking a shower.

A dishwasher was given / loaned to a married couple in a new flat but the newer blocks have tiny kitchens and a dishwasher takes up work space of needs plumbing in.

One of the reviewers said that if you don't have a dishwasher, you can use the stacker to dry glasses and prevent them getting knocked over.

It could also be used for storing glasses.

Gift
If you are visiting for a wedding or anniversary party and want to take glasses as well as the bottle of fizz or vintage wine, this device could help preserve your glassware at the destination, or be a gift to live behind with your hosts.

Price
The glass stacker is made by Electrolux, currently reduced to £14.99 (from ...!) plus any postage and packing you have to pay. It takes eight glasses. Enough for two glasses each for four or you. For a large group or party (ten at Christmas or any party) you would need two, or run the dishwasher twice, which you might be doing anyway.

Top Racks and Large Plates
Another interesting idea from the spares website, that you might need to raise the top drying rack in your dishwasher. I didn't know you could do that. I must take a look. When buying a new machine, I'll check if that is an option. You often stack larger plates below.
