Do You Break Any Of These Wine ‘Faux Pas’?

This study suggests that many people make some big mistakes when it comes to wine drinking. Not the kind of mistakes as a result from drinking however mistakes more on the “wine etiquette” side of things.

Most know I love my wine. I even have a wine page dedicated some of my favorite bottles @WineAndFrugal on Instagram. However, I’ve made at least three of these wine mistakes.

Who knew there were rules? Check out the top ten wine ‘Faux Pas’ according to Virgin Wines below.

1. Holding a glass by the bulb and not the stem.

2. Damaging the cork when you try to remove it so you push bits of cork into the wine.

3. Mispronouncing the name of a wine you’re ordering.

4. Serving white wine with red meat.

5. Filling a wine glass to the very top.

6. Putting ice cubes in wine.

7. Adding lemonade or Coke to wine to water it down.

8. Drinking straight out of the bottle.

9. Trying to use a corkscrew on a twist-off cap.

10. Pretending you know sophisticated terms to describe how a wine tastes.

How many are you guilty of?
