What is a Glass Rack? Racks that store stemware – which can include wine glasses, tulips, flutes and goblets – are typically referred to as glass racks. They can be found beneath cabinets, suspended from the ceiling, or as cubes that rest on countertops. Do you hold wine glasses at the stem or bowl? Therefore, you should grip your wine glass by the stem, pinching it between your thumb, pointer, and middle fingers. Your other two fingers will sit naturally on the base of the glass. What is the etiquette for holding red wine glass? You should hold a red wine glass by the stem or base. Your thumb and index fingers should pinch the stem near the base of the glass. You can tuck your remaining fingers in or rest them on the base. Essentially, you do not want to have your hands touching the bowl of the wine glass.
