Have you ever found yourself at a formal dinner party, feeling a bit out of your element while trying to navigate the sophisticated world of wine tasting? Perhaps you’ve noticed guests holding their wine glasses with an air of confidence, while you find yourself unsure of the best way to enjoy your drink without looking awkward. If you’re keen to elevate your wine-drinking experience and impress your companions, you might be wondering about the proper technique for holding a wine glass. In this post, we’ll walk you through how to hold a wine glass like a pro.
