There
is a Right Way to Hold a Wine Glass! Once you've
chosen the right wine glass it
makes sense to discover how to hold it ... It may
seem a bit unnecessary to discuss how you should hold a wine glass,
but there is a right way and a wrong way and it does make a
difference. Wine is served in stemware because
the temperature at which wine is served can have a profound impact
on the tastes and the enjoyment it yields. Wine glasses should
always be held by the stem of the glass rather than the bowl since
the heat of your hand will quickly warm the liquid. Warming a wine above its desired
serving temperature
will yield unwanted and unpleasant characteristics. The
alcohol in wine will give a sharpness or 'bite' to the taste if the
wine is served above 74ºF. Enough said. Just hold the glass by
the stem unless the wine is served at too cool a temperature and you
need to warm it for a minute or two. Many thanks to Dan Miller at
