    Cos of the werewolves. Nasty things they are. Don't like people who don't understand proper wine drinking etiquette!

    Actually, it could be. Champagne flutes are designed to maintain the fizzyiness of the wine. Normal wine glasses are that bowl shape to allow the tannins (at least in red wine) to breath and give wine that wonderful nose*










    *this might be true, it might not. I drink wine straight from the bottle

    Just because I know how to drink wine properly doesn't mean I do it while in private. Straight from the bottle means less washing up the next morning when I'm hungover

    Hi OP,

    Although this forum does cater somewhat to spooky stuffs like superstition, you can expect a high humour rate to the answers. If you want a serious answer without the laughs, I have no problem moving this to the appropriate forum (I can see you're new so I'm not sure how aware you are in the differences betwixt forums.)

    Thanks!
