3 common mistakes when ordering wine The wine lists at all restaurants can be overwhelming, but even more so at fancier, more expensive restaurants! But I have a few key tips to ease your anxiety and help you order the perfect wine every time. 1️⃣ Use your sommelier’s expertise: if the restaurant you are ordering from has a sommelier, then you are in for a treat, as they typically know the history of the wines and wineries on their list. So, never be afraid to ask for help! 2️⃣ Focusing Only on Price: a lot of us, maybe not to seem cheap, order the second-cheapest bottle — a mistake. 3️⃣ Try pairing with your main course: When you’re looking over the wine list, try to consider your main course and how the wine will enhance your meal. Avoid these common mistakes and elevate your dining experience. Have you made any of these mistakes? Share in the comments and follow me for more wine tips.

Wine Etiquette at a Restaurant🍷 When a waiter gracefully pours wine into your glass at a restaurant, it's more than just a gesture. Here's what they're really hinting at: 1️⃣ Check for Faults: The initial pour is an invitation for you to ensure the wine isn't faulty and is in prime condition for your enjoyment.    2️⃣ Taste, Don't Reject: If the wine isn't to your personal taste, it doesn't warrant a rejection. It's only if the wine is spoiled that it can be sent back. 3️⃣ Seek Recommendations: To avoid any disappointment, consider asking the service staff for their wine suggestions. They often have insights into the best pairings and popular choices. Ever been in a wine dilemma at a restaurant?

wine service as a customer ( from my perspective )🍷🍷🍷 (open to share your ideas as well ) As a person who has huge passion about wine , I deeply appreciate excellent wine service. A knowledgeable sommelier who can recommend the perfect wine pairing for my meal is invaluable. I love when the server presents the bottle with an interesting story about that bottle or something related ( I mean who doesn't love a good story, right ) allowing me to inspect the label, and then skillfully opens it. Pouring a small sample for tasting before serving ensures the wine is just right. Proper glassware and the correct serving temperature are essential, as they enhance the wine's flavor and aroma. Additionally, a well-organized wine list that highlights a variety of regions and styles reflects the restaurant's commitment to quality. This attention to detail not only complements my meal but also makes the entire dining experience more enjoyable. Good wine service shows the establishment values its customers and understands the art of wine, turning a simple meal into a memorable occasion. HK.
