Italian term or phrase: l'uso corretto
gli allievi entrano nell'affascinante mondo del
vino e apprendono la Tecnica della Degustazione
e le Funzioni del Sommelier, dallo stile nel servizio all'organizzazione di una cantina, dall'uso
corretto dei bicchieri al rispetto della bottiglia e del
suo prezioso contenuto.

Mi chiedo se sia meglio in inglese usare il sing. o il plur. di "bicchiere"

the correct use of the glass/ of glasses?

glasses / goblets


Explanation:
Penso cosi'

Penso anche che potrebbe essere "the right choice of glasses for a bottle", mi pare che infatti si tratta piu' della scelta dei bicchieri.

the correct use of the glasses.....


Explanation:
...with respect to the bottle and its precious contents.

In inglese 'the correct use of the glass' vuol dire anche il bicchiere corretto per il tipo di vino o bibita. Spero che questo aiuta.
