I know that Lufthansa policy is to collect all glasses in business and first class as soon as the plane is moving (for safety reasons i guess). Some crew are very strict with this procedure, some are not. It surprised me at the beginning but now I got accustomed to it. They usually politely tell you to either finnish it or give it back half full. Hard to believe they grab it as it was touching your lips though...
Swiss has the same procedure
