A few extra tips:
🍷Don’t be afraid to mention your budget. You can say “I’m looking for something around this price point” and point to a price on the list so it doesn’t feel awkward.
🍷When in doubt, go with the region of the food. Italian dinner? Try an Italian wine. It’s a pairing principle that rarely fails.
🍷”Second cheapest bottle” is a myth, just pick based on taste, not price anxiety.
🍷If you liked a wine last time, take a photo of the label. Show it next time and say “something like this.”
The goal isn’t to become an expert,it’s just to enjoy what’s in your glass. 🥂
Save this for your next dinner out!
