Which method is the most convenient and safest way to bring empty stemmed wine glasses to seated guests?

Carrying empty stemmed wine glasses by holding them upside down, locked between fingers in one hand, keeps the rims and bowl away from your skin and fingers while giving you a secure, compact grip on the stems. This inverted, pinch grip protects the glass surfaces from fingerprints and contamination, and it lets you group several glasses together so you can move efficiently with one hand. The other hand remains free to guide your movement or place glasses down smoothly at the table. Other methods tend to expose the rim to contact, require two hands, or create a less stable grip, increasing the risk of damage or slow service.
