holding a wine glass correctly...

And I'm talking about a wine glass with a stem.  I was watching The Today Show with Hoda and Kathie Lee with guest actor Anthony Mackie and he brought a bottle of chablis from France.  Apparently, Mackie owns a restaurant/bar in Brooklyn which serves only American wine and beer.   He brought a bottle from his own stash.

Hoda doesn't know how to hold a wine glass.  She doesn't hold it by the stem, which is more crucial when drinking white wine, where she's actually warming the wine by holding it by the bowl.

Kathie Lee and Mackie know how to hold a wine glass correctly.

I was taught as a 21 year old how to hold a wine glass when I went wine tasting at Beringer Winery in Napa many, many moons ago.
