Wine Glass Held by Stem





Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

Please be so kind and advise how one should drink from a long stem glass, by the stem, the head, or either?

Signed,

Look forward to advice

Dear Look forward to advice,

Generally, the most appropriate way to hold a wine glass is by the stem. Two basic reasons are to keep the glass bowl clean of fingerprints and maintain the proper temperature of the wine (important for chilled wines, such as white or champagne).
