^^^^ uhhhh, schmoomcgoo,
Was this

If you serve wine in a stemless glass you risk the disdain of the wine snob who holds his or her glass by the stem so as not to influence the temperature of the wine, especially a white.

in response to this

The problem with stemless glasses is particularly an issue for white wine. It forces you to hold the glass (rather than the stem) in your 98.6 degree hand, which then warms the wine, which you don’t want (unless of course it s overly chilled and is too cold). I am a bit of a wine snob, but I don’t own nice Reidel glasses (ooh DH, are you listening??? )
