the way his face was so proud that it didn't make a sound when the cork came out kills me

I think your technique is very good I love it, but some knowledge might not be right. You let the host taste the wine to approve that the wine has not gone bad, not if they like the wine or not. The only condition the host can return the wine is if it has gone bad, never because it tastes bad.

100% right.

In fact by smelling the corck one should already be able to figure it out. However I do notice that the act of tasting etc adds some experience so I support that part

I would pull the cork almost out of the bottle, then remove the corkscrew from the cork before wiggling the cork out, its far more efficient to have control over and remove silently an old cork and you don't have to screw the cork off the corkscrew after pulling it out while holding the bottle and rubbing the corkscrew that's been in your pocket over the exposed rim of the bottle which should also be wiped with a linen after removing the cork especially if the bottle is old or the corkscrew has crumbled some or went through the bottom of the cork. The cork should also be felt and smelled quickly by the server to detect a rotted or bad wine before the guest does. Also removing the cork is not always necessary in US if a couple wishes to take the bottle with them for example after dinner and you push the cork back into the bottle and package it up to go.

High end restaurants usually want it to be silent when opening a bottle of wine.

can you put the cork back into the bottle or is it kinda like once the bottle's been open, that's it.
@stephanieflores848915 күн бұрын
According to where I work we’re supposed to let the wine “breathe” after opening which is why cork isn’t placed back on bottle. But who knows I’m still learning

You should be wiping the top of the bottle with a serviette after removing the tip of the capsule, and once again after removing the cork according to the Court of Master Sommeliers.

"Serviette"... I guess the term "napkin" is just too plain, low class, and not pretentious enough for fancy folks. LoL!
@eliterolo Жыл бұрын
Lol. Ehh not even. the word napkin is used in American English whereas the word serviette is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, etc. In Spanish the word is servilleta.
