Slowly and spit a lot. You will be surprised at how 15 or 20 little swallow can sneak up on you. You want to make sure that you get the wine to all areas of your mouth to get the full affect of flavors.

also, hold the glass by the stem. holding the bowl is a "tasting faux pas". the reason behind it is because the heat from your hands can warm the glass to a warmer temperature than the wine is meant to be served at.

If it is red wine, you can hold the glass anywhere you like. If it is white wine or champagne, you should hold it by the stem of the glass or by its base, keeping your hand from touching the portion of the glass in which the wine is in, because you hand will warm it up.
