Water Glass: Left or Right?

Do you know which water glass is yours?

Have you ever sat down to a beautiful table and not known which water glass was yours? No one wants to experience that awkward moment when they accidentally drink their table mate’s water!

Identifying where one table setting ends and another begins at a crowded table can be tough. Diners are often engaged in good conversation and not focused on table etiquette. How do you know which drink is yours?

Here is our foolproof trick to identify your water glass: remember B-M-W. Your Bread is on your left, your Meal is in the center, and your Water is on your right.

What should you do if your neighbor takes a drink from your water glass? Discretely ask the waitstaff to bring you another glass. Those with excellent social skills never embarrass others.

How do you want to be remembered? ™
