You know your preferences and can tailor your search to ensure you get something that you actually want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But things can get a little bit tougher when you\u2019re in a <strong>restaurant<\/strong>. For one, you have a limited number of wines to work with. Your preferred bottles may not be on the list and you may end up looking at a bunch of vintages that you don\u2019t even recognise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, there\u2019s the simple fact that a lot of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.xtrawine.com\/en\/how-do-restaurant-owners-choose-italian-wines-for-their-wine-lists\/\">restaurant\u2019s wine lists aren\u2019t as easy to decode<\/a><\/strong> as you may think they should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to avoid wasting your money on a wine that you don\u2019t like. And that means you\u2019re going to have to figure out exactly what the wine list is actually telling you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, you can use these <strong>tips<\/strong> to decode the list and get a bottle that you actually want.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #1 \u2013 Glass vs Bottle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to consider is whether you should buy your wine by the glass or by the bottle. Most restaurants will offer you the <strong>choice<\/strong>, though you may find that especially desirable or expensive wines are available by the bottle only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, the <strong>profit margin<\/strong> the restaurant makes on a bottle is a little lower than what they make on a glass. However, a single glass will cost you less than an entire bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it\u2019s a bit of a balancing game. You can spend less in real terms and savour the single glass that you buy. Or, you can buy the entire bottle for better value across several glasses of wine. However, you\u2019ll waste money if you don\u2019t drink the entire bottle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think about the meal itself and whether a bottle will suit every course. If it doesn\u2019t, it may be best to go for a single glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #2 \u2013 Check the Wine List Before You Arrive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of restaurants now make their entire menus available on their <strong>websites<\/strong>. This can definitely work to your advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Head online and see if you can locate their <strong>wine list<\/strong>. While you have time at your disposal, do a little bit of research to see what each wine has to offer so that you can point straight to the one you want when you sit down to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that it\u2019s not exactly feasible to pull out your phone and check every wine on the list when you\u2019re in the restaurant. A little bit of preparation beforehand can go a long way, especially if you\u2019re looking to <strong>impress <\/strong>a date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #3 \u2013 Ask Your Server\u2026But Don\u2019t Rely on Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your server can give you a little bit of <strong>guidance<\/strong>. They\u2019re familiar with the menu and should know what each wine has to offer and which dishes each works best with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can give them an idea of what you want from a wine, or what dishes you want to order, they may be able to point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, remember that the server also has a <strong>duty to the restaurant<\/strong>. They need to help the restaurant earn money, which means that they may try to point you towards a more expensive bottle even though you might prefer something a little less expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask for specific details from the server about <strong><em>why <\/em><\/strong>they\u2019ve recommended a certain wine. If they can\u2019t offer much of a reason beyond the price, politely thank them for their time and let them know you\u2019ll take a couple more minutes to decide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #4 \u2013 Avoid the Second Cheapest Bottle<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurants have <em>cottoned on<\/em> to the fact that people don\u2019t want to appear <em><strong>cheap <\/strong><\/em>when they\u2019re buying their wine. And they\u2019ve come up with a little tactic to exploit that fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, there\u2019s little, if any, <strong>difference between the quality<\/strong> of the cheapest and second-cheapest bottle of wine. However, the second-cheapest will usually cost a decent amount more than the cheapest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s despite the fact that the wine likely cost the same amount for the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They\u2019re trying to get you to dip a little deeper into your wallet for a comparable bottle. <strong>Don\u2019t fall for it<\/strong>. If you do go for the second bottle of wine, do so because it has qualities that attract you to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #5 \u2013 The Listing Order<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Restaurants use all sorts of <strong>different techniques<\/strong> to order their wine menus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re going to talk about the Varietal method here. If the menus arranged by grape variety, it\u2019s generally safe to assume that the wines at the top of the list are the lightest, while those at the bottom are the fullest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means you can have a rough guess at how deep a wine is based on how far down the list it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, this doesn\u2019t work if the restaurant lists its wines by price instead of grape variety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tip #6 \u2013 Pronunciation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ordering a wine made in a country that doesn\u2019t speak your native tongue, it\u2019s natural to feel a little bit <em>nervous <\/em>about pronouncing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t be<\/strong>. Nobody\u2019s expecting you to get the name right if you don\u2019t speak the language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just tell the server that you\u2019re not sure how to pronounce the name. Then, either give it a crack or point out the wine on the menu. It really is that simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, some people avoid ordering certain vintages because they feel embarrassed by the idea that they might mispronounce something.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Final Word<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hopefully, these <strong>tips <\/strong>will help you to decode the wine list in front of you and hopefully pick something that you actually like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a final tip, try to think about the different regions or grapes that you\u2019re familiar with. If you\u2019re completely stuck, look for those and they may guide you towards a wine that you\u2019ll like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But most importantly of all, <strong>have a little bit of fun<\/strong> with it. Try something that you don\u2019t recognise. You may even end up finding a wine that you fall in love with.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you\u2019re buying wine for yourself, you generally have a good idea of what you\u2019re going to get.
