Towels
The most common way to prevent wine from dripping on the table from a bottle when pouring is to use a wine towel or napkin to catch the drips. The British word for table napkin is ” serviette” but in modern terms, a serviette refers to a paper table napkin.
We suggest using a cloth napkin or towel; something that can be easily washed of wine stains but if you had to use a nice looking paper towel or napkin in a pinch, that would be ok as long as it looks as much like cloth as possible.
