I hope this question is not to silly,but is there a right way to pour wine in a glass without that almighty one drip falling on a white table cloth?Or maybe my hand was just shaking to much.Is there a right way?

Here's a tip that will take a little practice:

as soon as you have reached the end of the volume you want to pour into the glass, turn the bottle quickly with a smooth wrist action while you lift the bottle upright.

I still fall victim to tha last drip, too. Best solution I've found is to hold a napkin under the neck to catch the drip.

There are also drip-catcher widgets available from places like IWA that advertise in the trade mags such as Wine Spectator. But a napkin works just fine, if I remember to use it.
