Architec AirDry Wine Glass Drying Rack, No-Tip design Holds 4 Glasses

I searched a long time for a wine glass drying rack - reading hundreds (literally) of reviews. Some were beautiful pieces of art but had poor reviews. This rack is sleek, attractive, and I can wash wine glasses in the evening and in the morning put them away - spotless by the way if you rinse them in hot water after washing. BUT BEST OF ALL it is ridiculously sturdy!! You don’t have to put your glasses on opposite sides to keep the stand balanced - it’s just the best!! 5 Star rating from me on this!! Good job Architec!!

First off, no one should expect this kind of air dry system to prevent water spots ... for that you need to blot off any drops before air drying. What this unit does is limit water pooling in the base of the glass by hanging it upside down. I bought one as a Christmas present for my wife, and thought there was a good chance she would pooh-pooh it, but surprise, surprise, she loves it. Why? It is beautifully designed, so attractive she just leaves it out on the counter with 4 wine glasses ready to go. It handles even our large red wine glasses with ease, and the black rubber tips that protect the wine glass stems are substantial without detracting from the appearance of the unit. Our wine glasses were always at risk after washing because of the chance for them to be tipped while sitting out drying. No more. After washing we dab off any water drops and hang them up, ready to go the next time we have a bottle of wine. Couldnt be better.

This wine glass air drying rack was purchased as part of a wedding gift. The bride and groom liked it. It was a great choice.

This thing is great, I used it to dry my good and very good wine glasses, its sturdy and does not tip when you have only one glass on it, it takes very tall glasses easily. The only glasses I have an issue with are my Dartington glasses which have a thick stem and the stem wont slide into the little gripper thing, but so far everything else with a regular stem is fine. The glasses dry quickly, I stand the dryer on a clean tea towel and the glasses dry in no time with no streaking or spotting. I used to find that standing the glasses upside down directly on the tea towel tended to make the glasses condensate and they would take forever to dry, to combat that I would try and balance them on the end of a plate to allow some air movement but that made them unsteady. The dryer comes apart and the top nestles in the bottom so it is relatively easy to store.

I stumbled upon this product and had to try it since hand drying was leaving lint and streaks, and leaving my glasses upside-down on a dish towel to dry was resulting in a damp, mildew smell. In all fairness, I hate -- *hate* -- having things just sit on my kitchen counter, so Im predisposed to not love the look of pretty much anything designed to sit out. But I decided to give this a try because the photo looks so sleek and chrome-like. In person, however, its very obviously a dull gray plastic, and the seam between the two parts stands out a lot. I wouldve paid more for a chic chrome finish and a solid piece. It does come apart for easy storage, but lets face it -- I have a glass of wine every night, so this will now likely be a permanent kitchen counter fixture. On the plus-side, It DOES do the job! I still lay a towel underneath for drips, but now my glasses dry clear and, best of all, no mildew smell!

Being a fan of red wine, I have an eclectic set. I hate spots left when I hand wash them and leaving them on a dish rack. This is quite handy. Thing that make me nervous, though, is the grip hook it has. Its not as rubbery grippy as Id hoped and so Im constantly afraid my glasses might accidentally fall out and break. The way they designed it though prevents this from happening by the way the hook just slightly tips up. However, if left on a table and said table was jostled, it could still result in broken glass. Another thing I didnt realize was I need to put a towl under it to catch the water dripping since... Theres nothing else there. I guess you could place it on a dish rack? It helps that it separated and the top fits into the base, but youre still left with a rather odd-shaped gadget to have to find storage for as the silver paint isnt enough to hide that its plastic and may not look great to keep on the countertop.

This Architec Air Dry Wine Glass Drying System is perfect for wine enthusiasts like myself. I have a lot of different kinds of wine glasses and I like to splurge on quality stemware now and then. I was looking for glass storage options and came across this item. So glad I did. It comes in two pieces and is very easy to assemble. I wasnt sure if this stand would be able to hold my very huge Bottega wine glasses. But I was easily able to store and show off my beautiful and HUGE Bottega del Vino Crystal glasses (BV08) (pics attached for reference). Hanging glasses in this way aids in good drainage and air circulation without any spots on the glasses. This stand breaks down for storage and is quite sturdy yet beautiful to look at. I leave it on my dining table and always receive compliments from company. This would also make a great gift idea for wine drinkers.

This is a very useful item, but you have to be careful with it. Be aware that the unit is two pieces that do not lock when they are together. If you didnt know that, and you picked it up to move it slightly when loaded, you may end up with four broken wine glasses. I have found the best use for it is just as a temporary place to dry the glasses, and not a rack for storage. Still, you can use if as a display rack as long as youre careful. If you are a naturally clumsy person, like me, this one might be better:

This is a great product and a great price! Ive found that the best way to get a spot and lint free finish on wine glasses is to towel dry the outside right away but let the inside air dry. Theres a slight ledge running along my kitchen counter so I have been propping the bottom of wine glasses on this ledge so moisture doesnt get trapped inside and the glasses dry quickly. But Im always worried theyre going to fall and break plus this takes up a lot of room when ive got other dishes that need to dry. So I started looking for a drying rack. I love that this one easily comes apart in two pieces because I dont have much storage space left in my kitchen. It holds the glasses securely and they dry fast. Of course youll want something bigger or more than one if you often have parties and dirty up a lot of glasses at once, but this one was perfect for my purposes. I also only have basic wine glasses and champagne glasses so I dont know how this would do with some of the really large glasses like my dad has, but it claims to hold all glass sizes and there seems to be a lot of room.

This wine glass drying rack works great. It’s lightweight but balanced so there is no tipping or instability if you are only drying one glass. Also there’s rubber edging at the top where you hang the glass so it reduces the chance of the glass getting knocked off. This is the second one I’ve purchased. First one was bought over 10 years ago and is holding up beautifully. The one recently purchased was for a vacation home so I can attest that they last for years.
