The correct way to hold a red wine glass

Many people believe that red wine is a symbol of elegance and romance, so they drink red wine to show their taste when on a date or watching a musical. Generally, when people drink red wine, they use special red wine glasses, that is, the transparent high-heeled glasses. A red wine glass paired with red wine can give people a very comfortable feeling. Moreover, there are some etiquettes in holding a red wine glass. So, what is the correct way to hold a wine glass?

The correct posture for holding a red wine glass

1. Hold the stem of the wine glass and place it between your thumb and one or two fingers and hold it lightly. This is the simplest method. This method is as simple as tilting the glass, observing the color of the wine, and swirling the wine in the glass.

2. Hold the bottom of the wine glass. Many people find that this method makes it easier to control the glass and more comfortable.

3. Unless you want to warm the wine in the cup, please hold the cup (basin) with your palm. Otherwise, when holding the cup, it is better to hold the foot or bottom of the glass to avoid heat conduction.

4. If you are right-handed, rotate the cup counterclockwise, you will find that you can do this action easily. If you are left-handed, you can try to rotate the cup clockwise.

In general, don't hold the glass by your stomach, mainly because of a reason called "the temperature of your hands will affect the drinking temperature of the wine." Someone once told me that in some places, if a girl holds the bottom of the cup to drink, she is hinting to others that you can come over and talk to me, but I have not verified this for the time being.

At wine parties, you'll often see a cool way of holding a glass - pinch the base of the glass between your thumb and index finger, shake it a few times skillfully, and the red wine will swirl gracefully along the wall of the glass. This posture is somewhat difficult for people who have little experience in drinking and is only suitable for experts and men.

It is a very feminine gesture to gently pinch the cup foot near the cup base with your thumb, index finger and middle finger. If you are not used to it, just find a comfortable position at the cup foot. Avoid holding the belly of the glass with your hand, as the warmth of your palm will warm the wine and prevent you from clinking glasses gracefully with others.

If you want to be an elegant lady at a cocktail party, you also need to keep the glass under your armpit to avoid leaving lip marks on the glass. Try not to lift your chin or face when drinking wine.
