First World Problems...

It's all fun and games until your fingers get frostbite from the freezing glass!

Specifically, my left thumb gets very, very cold when I hold my glass at the top of the stem or around the bowl. Sure, I could hold it part way down the stem, or even by the base, but that is less stable, less pleasant, and slows my drinking, and thus my enjoyment.

I have considered many solutions, including wearing gloves, using insulated glasses (they are horrendously ugly!), or simply burning the house down every evening during cocktail hour so as to have a source of warmth for my left thumb.

None of these are optimal. I could also switch to hot drinks (yuck..almost as bad as a shaken Manhattan), or even forego cocktails altogether and start with wine.

But that is bowing to primitivism, and I will not give in!
