Some Wine Etiquettes For You

If you are cheering your glasses with someone, you don’t have to click your glasses; you can look them in the eye and raise your glass. If you insist on clicking glasses, you must do it from the bowl part because it is the strongest part of your glass. Your glass may break or get cracks if you do it from the rim.

A second tip is to hold your wine glass from the stem. It may seem secure to hold it above the stem, but you may leave fingerprints on it if you’re eating, which can be very noticeable. 

You can hold the foot of the glass while conversing with people. Some wine experts hold their glass from below the bowl mainly because they’re trying to change the temperature of the wine.

Because you’ll just be tasting a variety of wines, make sure you pour an amount that you’ll be able to consume. It isn’t nice if you throw away a part of it. Most people think that swirling your wine makes you pretentious, but it’s done to bring out all the aroma. It’ll be nice if you follow these basic things at the California Wine Festival Calgary.
