wild rover Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi again everybody, just a quick query! Can anyone tell me the safest way to store glasses in a motorhome. I don't mind drinking coffee from a plastic cup but I'd rather drink wine/whiskey from a proper glass. Any advice would be most appreciated. Thanks. We went on our maiden voyage in our new MH last weekend. Being newbies we were a wee bit apprenhensive but it was wonderful. Can't wait for our next outing.

malc d Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Hi Pam We keep ours, wrapped in bubble wrap, in a plastic box when travelling. Haven't lost one yet.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tracker Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I made up a set of appropriately sized interlocking dividing inserts from stiff cardboard and this sits in a plastic container in which sit the glasses and the whole thing sits on a shelf in a top locker - next to the bottles it serves! Simples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 We hang our wine/sherry glasses upside down with the glass stems held in small terry clips fixed to a timber batten on the inside of the wine cupboard. Space them out in such a way that they dont chink against each other. Cheers. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Peters Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 we use a freebie wine bottle holder from tescos, never had a broken glass yet. brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffersonCampervan Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 we use schott zweisel tritan glasses - very break-resistant & easily available in German department stores. http://www.schott-zwiesel.com/en/tritan1_e.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike 202 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 put each glass into a white sports sock ( washed of course ) no rattles and no broken glasses. Works just as well for stopping wine bottles from rattling, presume you carry a goodly supply to help the digestion ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You can also use some of the expanding 'netting' stuff you get round fruit which stops them banging together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We use that on the bottles! They then take up less space so you can carry more of them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I got a block of polystyrene, shaped it to fit the cupboard and and then cut holes in it to exactly fit the glasses, this works for other delicate things as well. saves time when I need a glass in a hurry.

catinou Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 We love nothingbetter than drinking a nice wine (or soft drink if driving) from a decent glass wherever we are. Ours were purchased in M & S and came in boxes of 6 - a bit like a wine box with cardboard dividers. 2 boxes of 6 assorted glasses fit nicely in one small locker - easy to retrieve and also handy to put back for travel if we are not wasting time heating water to wash up on a day out. When you get home, just pop them indoors, clean and dry and return to their box. B-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild rover Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Wow, thanks for all these brilliant tips! You folks are so inventive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Quite often glasses come in a suitable cardboard sleeve that can be used in the motorhome or otherwise I use the netted sleeve that you can get on fruit. This is also useful for bottles and glass jars aswell as between anything that rattles - best bit is they are free - my favourite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 As a slight digression, if you have cans of hair spray, deodorant, or bottles of sauces etc, you can put some elastic bands round them in a couple of places (wound a couple of times round at least to give them a good rubber layer) which stops them chinking together.
