    What is the right way to hold a wine glass?

    Which one are you:

    The Gluggers, you know who you are. Name and shame your mates who hold their glass like this (by the bowl)

    Hand holding a glass of amber wine at a tasting table

    The Poncey People, those who hold the wine by the foot. Please, don’t do that!

    The Proper Way: hold your wine glass at the top of the stem, with a relaxed grip. Keep that little finger IN or you’ll like like a t**t

    Cheers!
