1) Always hold the glass by the stem, not the bowl. Keeps the glass clean and the wine stays the proper temperature (be it red or whire or apple juice ;))



2) Swirl slightly to aerate the liquid



3) Bring the glass up straight to your lips



4) Tilt the head back along with the glass, keeping the same angle



5) Enjoy how the proper etiquette can make the wine drinking experience all the better



:P

Sorry the pics are blurry. He did this quite randomly on his own and I only had my cellphone to capture it. I think he may have been watching his Father even more closely than I thought...

Edit: sorry, meant apple juice.

He went hyper for 30 minutes then went to sleep for 4 hours

Thanks for all the kind words, and I'm happy you are all enjoying his craziness ;). He actually went into my armoir all by himself, got two glasses, put them on the counter, got the apple juice from the fridge and said "Drink!" I helped him pour, we did our usual "cheers" and clinked glasses, and we drank. The form was truly all his own...I've never taught him (yet, anyway!).

Ever since he stole a half empty flute of asti when he was 1 1/2 years old, he always asks me to taste when I'm drinking. He also likes bitter beers as well (go figure). Should be interesting seeing how this'll progress... :)

Status: offline 		Well, since this weekend is my son's 8th birthday party and these pics came up out of the blue today I figured I'd post an update.

He still likes to taste whatever happens to be in whatever glass I have handy. He still likes bitter/drier/hoppier beer. An interesting note is that about two tears ago I popped a cork and poured a glass, and it was tch tainted. Before I could pour the glass back into the bottle, he asked me to taste it. Curious, I let him. It was the first time he made a face and told me he didn't like something I was drinking. I was pretty proud ;)

Beginners mistake of trying to put a beer cap on a wine bottle.
