Wine Basics for a servant

Why should you know about wine as a servant? Because you might be expected to serve wine, and as a representative for the restaurant, the guest will naturally think you know the products you are selling, serving, and offering. Most importantly, the more knowledge and skills you possess, the better the experience and guidance you can provide for your guests.

Wine can be complex, an art or craftsmanship. As a servant, you don’t necessarily have to treat it like an art, but knowing the basics about the types of wine, how to serve, pour and pair wine with food makes you stand strong to provide the best service. Knowing the basics improves the guest experience. Just try to imagine you are a guest yourself. You order something you have been looking forward to enjoying it. And it is fairly expensive, so you don’t do this daily. The price only makes your expectations higher. Imagine the person delivering it to you; just place it on the table. No introduction, no acknowledgment. Half of it is wasted on the table as the servant roughly serves it without care and caution. Would you enjoy that moment? Properly not. Would it be worth the money wasted? Properly neither. Those are the situation you would like to avoid
