How do you hold your wine glass?

[Robin Garr]

For serious wine geeks, this photo listicle is funny but more of a joke than practical advice. Still worth a look for chuckles, though!

The Way You Hold Your Glass Shows Your Class

In my opinion, No. 14, The Normal Human Being, is a good formal standard, although for casual dining I'll confess as a shameless practitioner of No. 10, the Loosey Goosey. How about you?

I am apparently a "normal human being". [sigh of relief]

guess I am average and ordinary tho, after a glass or 3, might revert to Loosey-Goosey

At a formal tasting most of the time it is No 14. If I think the wine might benefit from some “warming up” I might go with No 11. Sometimes I might go with a much “gentler” No 12 (pinching the base with my pointer and thumb). Everyday drinking I use stemless wine tumbles, so I might find myself using No 9 for picking up the glass, but mostly No 10.

Probably not...

The scientists say:

"Normal" is a mathematical description of boring...

We have not yet met, but I'm pretty sure you don't qualify.
