Water is a wetting liquid but Mercury is non wetting so not the all liquid are wetting it depends upon Adhesive and cohesive forces , the liquids having strong adhesive force than cohesive become absorbed on a solid surface and that surface becomes wet but the liquids having strong cohesive force can not absorbed on a solid surface so material remains dry and such liquids are non wetting liquids as Mercury, so water is wetting liquid due to its strong adhesive force.

Why water wet glas?

Water makes glass feel wet because of the adhesive forces between water molecules and the glass surface. When water comes into contact with glass, it spreads out due to these attractive forces, creating a thin layer of water that makes the surface feel wet. Additionally, the cohesive forces between water molecules allow them to stick together, enhancing the sensation of wetness.
