Looking for something a bit different for your dining table? You should consider getting some good quality wine goblets to serve your wine from at your next dinner party. If you have the right wine goblets you will make a real impact on the quality of your meal and the wine you serve in them.

The feel and look of wood is amazing, and compliments serving wine very well.

Wooden wine goblets are made by clamping a single piece of wood in a lathe, the carpenter making the goblets will produce good quality and unique goblets using this method. The grain of the wood and the handmade quality means that you will have unique receptacles to use to serve your wine.

It is certain that the wood used to make your wooden wine goblet will be one of the many varieties of hard wood available. This means that you will have a stronger wine goblet. This, coupled with using a single piece of wood for each goblet ensures you will have something that will last.

The goblet will be smoothed down to a suitable drinking finish once it is made on the lathe. Following this it can be colored using a wood stained or left as is. The final part of the process is to put a food safe coating on it so that the wine won't rot the wood and the wood will not taint the taste of the wine.

When you own wooden wine goblets you need to look after them so that they will last a long time. This means that you need to clean them properly and let them dry correctly. You must not put a wooden wine goblet in the dishwasher as this will cause it to be dried out and possibly even crack from the heat.

To clean a wooden wine goblet correctly you should use a wet cloth to get rid of any dirt on the surface. You need to rinse it is luke warm water and dry with a dry non-abrasive cloth. The goblet should then be allowed to air dry but away from the sun so that it won't bleach or heat up too much.
