I have sometimes been given a glass of wine that was too full. I had to sip it quite quickly so it would not spill easily. (clothes, tablecloth, etc)
Also, I know that brandy and cognac are poured so there is a little in the bottom of a balloon glass for sniffing too. I have even seen red wines poured this way recently. OK? Correction?
And, what about big frosted drinks ... just about an inch of headroom, is that correct? with room for straws and garnish? Floating fruit & little umbrellas? (help!)
I have a theory that people do this because they don't wish to be thought stingy ... but it is awkward. I'd rather not worry about spillage!
Thank you!
