Yes, I know, wine glass markers can come across as cheesy. Hear me out though. There will be moments when your guests will need to use the restroom, or when they walk away from their glass to grab some food or refill their water glass. It’s just smart to have a way for everyone to identify which glass is theirs when several glasses have been left on the table and suddenly no one knows whose is whose.

I recommend asking guests to initial the foot of their wine glasses. It’s quick, and most people hold their wine glass by the stem, rather than the foot, so the text should hold up well for an evening of tasting, and wash off easily afterward.
