📚5 Steps to Help You Order Wine Like an Expert Are you planning business diner? How do you feel when you’re handed the wine list at a restaurant? If you’re like most people, you feel uncomfortable. 🍷🍷Even if you’re no expert, just follow these five simple steps: 👉1. Take your time. A few seconds after handing you the biggest wine list in the world, the waiter will come over and say, “Have you made your selection?” or “Do you need help?” Just look up, smile and say, “You have such an interesting list. It’ll take me a few minutes to decide.” At this point, the waiter will think you know what you’re doing and will leave you alone. 👉2. Decide if you want red or white. So if it’s lunch, go with white. Fish restaurant? White. Steak joint? Red. This single decision cuts the wine list in half. 👉3. Does the restaurant specialize in a certain type of wine? If there are 20 Italian wines listed and five U.S. wines, the owner cares more about Italian wine. Go with it. 👉4. Look for wines you already know — and cross them off, too. Hey, if you can buy the same wine from the corner wine store for half the price, it’s not going to be much fun drinking it at a restaurant, is it? Look for something new. 👉5. Pick two or three. At this point, say to the waiter, “I can’t decide among these wines” — and, wait, the next sentence is the key. Do not say, “What would you recommend?” Sad to say, in many cases, the waiter really doesn’t have a clue and will simply choose one. ✍️Summary of article published on www.guides.wsj.com.com Follow @business.handbook for daily posts! #business #handbook #BusinessHandbook #emailmarketingtips #businessmen #orderawine #tips #tipbusiness (at South Beach, Miami)
