There's an interesting article about the protocol of party wine in the December issue of Food & Wine. Lettie Teague discusses how hard it is to find the perfect bottle.

She also talks about the different kinds of wine gifters: those who prefer that the wine be opened at the event and those who wish it to be enjoyed by the host at a later date.

It got me wondering, which type are you?
