Swirling your wine glass allows oxygen to get in. Swirling releases the esters, ethers and aldehydes - some of the components that make up a wine's aromas.

When these components combine with oxygen they yield the bouquet of the wine. In other words, swirling aerates the wine and helps the bouquet emerge.

There really isn't a right or wrong way to swirl wine.
