31


DRINKING ETIQUETTE
THE GUZZLERS BEER:
• Best consumed directly from the bottle (This helps
preserve the foam-But it is a not a good etiquette)
• Glass: Classic Pilsner style glass, Beer goblet or
Mug

32


BEER
• The Pour: Only specific for the beer- not for other
drinks
• Preferable to have a few inches of foam at the top
of the glass as it keeps beer fresher, by preventing
the bubbles from escaping
• To give your glass of beer a nice head, tilt it while
pouring and gradually straighten the glass
• Avoid the bottle touching the glass
• Serve at 4 to 5 Degrees C
33


34


The Sniffers wine
• Holding the wine glass is an art and technique
• Glass- 2 types

b. Without stem
• Stemmed glasses for wine and champagne
• White wine glass has a smaller bowl than red wine
glass

35


36


• Champagne is best consumed in a flute as
opposed to the earlier saucers
• Hold it by stem as it looks elegant and prevents
transferring warmth of your hand to the bowl of
the glass
• Pinch the stem between your index finger and
thumb

37


• Wine glass should only a quarter to a third full
• Hold it at empty portion
• Serve at:
White wine – 8 to 10 Degrees C
Red wine – 16 to 18 Degrees C
