  1. Thank you for providing in the service industry and fine dinning a comprehensive video of how to serve wine! You guys should post more videos on wine and service!

  2. Thank you for the video! I’ve got two questions. 1. What about smelling the cork? Is it necessary? If yes, who should first do this? 2. Should a sommelier try the wine first?

  3. There’s never a bad time to make sure your service points are impeccable. Cheers to great wine and even greater service.

  4. I love to brush up on my wine service (as well as other points of service!). This is new since last time I looked. I think this is the best YouTube wine service video I’ve seen yet! Thank you so much, this is great! And I love the little flourishes this server gives, I hope to be able to confidently add flourishes to my wine service soon! ♥️

  5. When pouring champagne is it wrong to hold the glass at an angle in your hand and pour,,more like the way you would pour beer??

  6. What you must never do is drink the wine for the guests while they just get unleavened crackers, like the French Catholic priests do. Makes them stop wanting to go to church, er, restaurant.

  7. Thank you so much! I start my new Job tomorrow in a very fancy place and never had to do a proper wine service. This video helped a lot and I am now less nervous to start my new Job! ^^

  8. You don't take glass by the bowl because your hand warms the wine very rapidly. And both of those sparkling glasses are terrible. If you drink good bubbles with them, you'll just waste half of the aroma. Desert or white wine glass is good for bubbles. Bigger glass is usually for bolder wines, like Bordeaux, Chateauneuf du Pape, Syrah and such. Delicate reds like pinot or beaujolais have smaller glasses, sometimes even white wine glass is better than the huge "red" glass.

  9. Very good informative guideline about wine service. Can you please tell me, which information should be told to the guest when presenting the wine to the guest? Thanks in advance for your answer.

  10. Holding a bottle like that is utterly ridiculous, so it's no surprise that this sort of pretentious tables service technique incorporates it.
    Grow up world and pour a bottle like a sensible human being
