Restaurant Etiquette

Ordering wine at a restaurant can be an intimidating prospect. Lengthy wine lists, pairing considerations and less than ideal service can all complicate your dining experience. Understanding basic restaurant etiquette will alleviate this unnecessarily stressful situation. This is an important part of understanding general wine etiquette.

Hosting Etiquette

The duty of the host toward his/her guests is one of the most ancient and enduring forms of wine etiquette in human civilization. When serving wine, making sure that your guests are comfortable with the process is the most important part of hosting etiquette.

Tasting Room Etiquette

Visiting wineries is an enjoyable part of wine appreciation. Understanding proper tasting room etiquette will put you at ease, and allow you to focus on what is important – the wine. These tips will make wine etiquette easier to understand and make the process more enjoyable.
