How to hold a wine glass

	There is a Right Way to Hold a Wine Glass
	It may seem a bit unnecessary to discuss how you should hold a wine glass; but, there is a right way and a wrong way and it does make a difference.
	Wine is served in stemware because the temperature at which wine is served can have a profound impact on the tastes and the enjoyment it yields.   Wine glasses should always be held by the stem of the glass rather than the bowl since the heat of your hand will quickly warm the liquid. Warming a wine above its desired serving temperature will yield unwanted and unpleasant characteristics.  The alcohol in wine will give a sharpness or 'bite' to the taste if the wine is served above 74 F (23.3℃) degrees. Enough said.  Just hold the glass by the stem unless the wine is served at too cool a temperature and you need to warm it for a minute or two.

Wine with Food
While there are some "rules" about matching wines with food, it is important to satisfy your owns tastes first.
A general rule is that reds are great to drink with heavier meals, and whites are better suited for items lighter on your palette. Alternatively, Rose and Sparkling Wines are best with a smaller assortment of foods than Reds or Whites.Whether planning a romantic get together, or a large dinner party, your wine choice should be a part of your overall gestalt of the dining experience, rather than a simple a beverage choice. The right wine can make or break a perfect meal.
