Champagne glass - tall.
Red wine glass rounded

Why you check the label (Good and bad years, expensive wine replaced by wine from a poor or cheaper year)
Tasting and poison (Old days)
Tasting and bad wine (Host checking not for preference but quality)
What could be wrong with the wine (Colour brown, smell bad, bits)
Order of serving wine (Guest to right of host, host last)
Questions From Workshop Leader, Angela Lansbury
Looking at the table - What kind of spoon is this?
What shape is a soup spoon?
What is this large fork for? (With a Spoon. For Serving Salad - or vegetables)
Cutlery
Knives (Fish knives first, meat knives)
Tea Time And After Dinner Coffee
What is this small spoon? (Tea spoon)
I have two small spoons. What is the smaller one for? (Not a tea spoon, a Coffee spoon, matching the size of the tiny saucer of an espresso cup)
Story
Queen Victoria, drinking from the saucer
Questions From Audience
How much wine is in a glass? (Legal requirement UK, drinking)
What do you call the device for holding the corn? (Corn pick)
Do you break bread with your hands? (French fresh bread crumbles, unsuitable for slicing)
Do you break bread and get crumbs on the table (Not in my house, but like peanut shells on the floor in Raffles Hotel, copy the local diners)
How do you spread the butter? (Butter knife, not all at once)
Why does the waiter give you the cork and what do you do with it?
Can I ask for the leftover food at a UK restaurant? (Yes. If they have a deli, they must have take away containers and wrappers or bags If not, produce your own container.)
