It is based on the Dirac's String Trick, and it's called that way (Philippine wine glass trick) because the movement recalls a philuppine dancer's movement. While remaining seated, or standing in one spot, you can rotate something by 4pi (2 turns around a vertical axis) and return to the original situation without shifting your grip -- but 2pi (1 turn) is impossible.
Some hints:
1) Rather than a wine glass, it is better to demonstrate this with a coffee-cup or some such, because the handle makes it easier for the audience to keep track of the rotation.
2) For the first 2pi of rotation, tuck it under your elbow. For the second 2pi of rotation, it passes above the same elbow. It's an unfamiliar motion, but perfectly doable.
3) Practice a few times with an empty cup, or a cup containing something non-messy (perhaps a spoon or two). The contents are an important part of the demo, to prove that you rotated around one axis only.
