Glossary entry (derived from question below)
Spanish term or phrase:
La cosa va de sostener con aire interesante un vaso
English translation:
It's all about looking cool while holding a glass
Spanish term
La cosa va de sostener con aire interesante un vaso
Not too sure about the phrase from "la cosa va..." onwards. I believe it can be interpreted as "fill your glass with something interesting such as prosecco or a hypnotic galactic red/orange concoction" but is this correct?
Thanks for your help!

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
It's all about looking cool while holding a glass
It's not the drink, but the person holding the glass who is supposed to look interesting. That is, cool, to keep to the tone of the text.
