The way you hold your wine glass has a lot to say about you. At least that’s what this photo collage from the Savory suggests. I’m not sure I buy into it, but I’ll confess that I’ve used different methods shown here at different times. I guess I’ll have to start keeping a diary about how I feel and how I’m holding the glass, along with the notes on the winetasting, and trying to hold a conversation with the other wine drinkers. Maybe I’ll just put a straw in the bottle.

One thing the article doesn’t mention is that one really shouldn’t hold a wine glass by grasping the bowl, as the young man in the photo here is doing. Why? Because the heat from one’s hand will warm the wine. Sometimes, however, a wine is overchilled and needs to come up to the proper temperature. In which case such a grasp is called for.

Placing it under your armpit is never acceptable.

Which type are you?
