how to hold the glass
This changes everything about the temperature. I' ve seen people in ***Michelin Star Restaurants in New York who became the mock of the waiters because they did not know hot to hold a glass. But that is a different subject and can not be described.
Ok, call me a snob, it's offical.
I'm really worried about holding my wine glass correctly. not just how FT'ers hold theirs. i do not want waiters snikkering behind my back because i've grabbed the wrong handle on my wine glass. is there a robert parker of crystal?
this is sort of like do i put out my lead crystal, or is that poisonous? i use titanium chrystal most of the time, as most of my drinking partners are spastic drunks, and lead crystal is very soft glass. is this a real mistake?
i recall in my youth frequently drinking taittinger comtes de champagne blanc de blanc out of a plastic dog bowl as it was the only drinking container on the boat. held it with 2 hands, by the way.
