Hanging glasses upside down does two useful things: it lets them drain and dry without a water mark forming in the bowl, and it keeps dust out. It also puts them within reach of the pour, which on a bar short of counter space is the whole argument.

How to choose

What to know

The rack has to suit the stem. Rails are made to a particular width and a glass with a thick or unusually shaped stem may not sit in one designed for something finer. Check the stems you actually stock against the rail spacing rather than assuming.

What to know

Fixing matters more than it looks like it should. A full rail of glassware is heavier than people expect and it is going overhead, above staff. Fix into something structural rather than into plasterboard.

Common questions

Why hang glasses upside down?

So they drain and air-dry without leaving a mark in the bowl, and so dust does not settle inside them. It also keeps them out of the way of the working surface.

Will any glass fit an overhead rail?

No u2014 rails are made to a stem width. Thick or unusually shaped stems may not slide in. Measure a stem against the rail spacing before buying.
