how to wrap a wine bottle restaurant-style

If you’re serving wine for your friends at a party (and not busting out the gourmet box wine, good as it may be), there’s always the question of how to keep drips from running down the side of the bottle. No matter how crisply you twist your wrist at the end of a pour, there always seem to be some.

Lifehacker has a nice solution that also makes for a fancy presentation: wrapping the bottle in a linen napkin like they do in restaurants. Looks great and catches drips easily.

Give it a go at your next party. And who knows: maybe you and your friends can do a blind tasting while you’re at it.
