HOW TO HOLD THE RIGHT GLASS OF WINE

The correct way to hold a wine glass not only demonstrates a sophisticated demeanor but also enhances the enjoyment of the exquisite taste of wine. Do you know how to hold a wine glass properly? Today, Qulinary Essentials will help you learn the correct way to hold a wine glass!

There are two common ways to hold a wine glass properly:

1. HOLDING IT BY THE STEM

How to hold a wine glass properly

When holding the base of the wine glass, the stem rests between the middle finger, thumb, and index finger, with the remaining fingers naturally positioned. This is the most appropriate way to hold a wine glass. By holding the glass this way, the heat from your hand won't directly transfer to the wine, helping to preserve its original flavor. Additionally, this grip allows you to easily swirl the wine in the glass, increasing its exposure to oxygen and enhancing its aroma.

2. HOLDING IT BY THE BASE OF THE GLASS

You hold the base or the entire body of the glass with your hand. This way of holding a wine glass also doesn't affect the wine's flavor due to hand temperature. However, you may encounter difficulties when swirling the wine. For beginners, this method of holding a wine glass can make you feel uncomfortable and appear less professional.
