Tips on a tasting wine in a restaurant

A restaurant wine tasting can be enjoyed by the glass, carafe, or bottle. Restaurant wine tasting markups range from 100% to 200% over retail price. Some high-end restaurant wine tasting menus mark up offerings by 300%. House wines offer the poorest value. Older wines may offer the best restaurant wine tasting value since markups are set at purchase. A reasonable restaurant wine tasting markup pays for professionals to select the wines and a temperature-controlled environment for storing them.

 

When looking over restaurant wine tasting options, try to find a wine you are familiar with and note its price. Compare that with the price the wine sells for. That will establish the restaurant wine tasting markup. Popular restaurant wine tasting varieties may be marked up more. You won’t find many bargains in restaurant wine tasting for Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Chardonnay; but you probably will in restaurant wine tasting for Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Zinfandel.

 

Most restaurant wine tasting service follows a standard restaurant wine tasting procedure. The wine is presented so you can verify type and vintage. Your restaurant wine tasting choice is opened and the cork is presented. If it is stained all the way through or crumbly, the wine may be oxidized. A restaurant wine tasting sample is poured. Swirl and smell your wine during a restaurant wine tasting. If you detect off-smelling aromas, ask for a second opinion from the restaurant wine tasting steward. Look carefully at color. White wines with a deeper than usual color may be oxidized. Red wines with brownish tinge should be rejected for any restaurant wine tasting.

 

Restaurant wine tasting options should be returned only because they are flawed. Be sure that every restaurant wine tasting choice that is returned will be re-tasted by knowledgeable restaurant wine tasting staff. A restaurant wine tasting can be a great way to explore wine pairings, and restaurant wine tasting professionals can help you choose.
