| TAKE IT BACK! Proper Etiquette for Sending Wine Back at a Restaurant | | | | By: Byron Carman | << back  Page 2 of 2 |
If you consider yourself a rookie when it comes to wine, then it’s best if you just go with the flow and try to enjoy the bottle. If you’re with a group and the group doesn’t like it… order another bottle of a different wine. You can provide feedback on the wine if asked; however you’ll be pushing your luck to have your bottle switched out for another. It’s really not the restaurants fault that you don’t like the wine that was selected. Of course if the bottle selected is “corked” politely tell the Sommelier and have them bring you another bottle.
CLOSING REMARKS
At the end of the day it’s the total restaurant experience that counts. Don’t let one bad bottle spoil the whole meal. Do something about it and don’t be intimidated by waiters, sommeliers, or restaurant management. Always be polite, however be firm.
The restaurant is a service industry and they desire you to have a good overall experience.
Waiters and Sommeliers are aware that a satisfied customer often tips more than an unsatisfied one.
