* If the fondue is too hard add more wine
* If the fondue is too soft add more cheese
* Have your guests stir in a figure eight pattern each time they dip something
* Tradition says that if the item you're dipping comes off of your fork:
--- Men: Next round of drinks is on you
--- Women: You must kiss the man to your left
* Make up your own traditions. The ones above are outdated and sound a little chauvinistic to me.
