Drying Wine Glasses
With one wrong move or an inadvertent bump, a dish rack filled with drying dishes can wreak havoc on delicate stemware. Here's a good way to dry glasses in a safe corner of the counter, out of harm's way. Set up chopsticks (the square-sided kind are best) parallel to one another and about 1 1/2 to 2 inches apart on the counter. Place the wet glasses on the chopsticks to dry. The slight elevation off the counter allows air to circulate into the glasses and speeds drying.
