This is the final step in approving the wine to be served to the table. Next the server will pour a small taste of the wine in your glass (or they might ask the table who would like to taste the wine). There’s no right or wrong thing to do-some folks like to smell the cork for evidence of TCA contamination or other flaws others consider smelling it a faux pas.
You may wish to inspect the cork for authenticity and condition, and some wine lovers insist on sniffing it, but the smell of the wine will tell you everything you need to know. If the bottle appears to your satisfaction, the server should open the bottle in front of you, and if there’s a cork, set it on the table. This is your chance to check that the vintage is correct, etc., but if you ordered an older bottle of wine, I’d also take a look at the fill level-if the wine doesn’t reach the top of the shoulder of the bottle that could indicate the cork is compromised.
First, the bottle is presented to the person who ordered it to allow them to confirm that it’s the same bottle they ordered and that the bottle’s condition meets their expectations. It’s been a while since a lot of us have sat down for dinner at a restaurant, hasn’t it?įirst, it’s open to note that not all restaurants handle wine service the same way, but in many places, if you order a bottle of a wine, there’s a little ritual.
What’s the proper etiquette when a server at a restaurant pours you a small taste of the wine you ordered?
