sigmapi_ra
I am meeting my gf's family for the first time and am taking abottle of wine as a gift, when is the correct time to give them the wine?
Answer
After you have met them and shake their hands or whatever, then give it to them. Don't do it before you are actually introduced, but do it right after that. Oh, and make sure it's a good wine!
