Lipstick on your wine glass

Did you know this little Gourmet-esque tip? If you're drinking wine at dinner, and don't want to get lipstick on your glass (which both looks icky and removes your color), here's a trick: Simply lick the edge of the glass quickly right before you take a sip. Voila!

  4. I usually lick my lips before I drink... it works the same, and possibly looks sexier than licking your glass. Heehee!

  7. I wish I could politely pass this tip on to the women where I tend bar. I wouldn't mind cleaning less lipstick off of glasses.

  8. hmm.. interesting. i'm wondering how to pull this off without grossing out your fellow drinkers?

  9. you just have to lick it really quickly, so just take your first sip glass when your friend is looking down or at the menu or whatever -- it takes like .001 seconds, so it's surprisingly subtle! :)
