Diners are often at a loss for which wine to choose, and even more confused by the wine ritual performed by the waiter when it’s delivered. If you are not sure which wine to order, ask the waiter or sommelier. Their job is to know what wines are recommended. You don’t have to accept their recommendations, either. If you have a favorite, by all means order it.

After choosing the wine, your server will bring the bottle and show you the label. This ensures the bottle is exactly what you ordered. Be sure to check it. Occasionally, there are mistakes, especially with vintages. Remember that you are the one paying for the wine.

The bottle should never be brought to you opened. Less reputable restaurants have been known to pour cheap wine in a good bottle. Once the cork is removed, the waiter should offer it to you for your inspection. This is a holdover tradition for verifying the name on the cork, but some people believe it can show something about the wine. My suggestion is to put it down and forget it.

The waiter will next pour a small taste into your glass. This is your chance to inspect the wine. Observe the wine for color and clarity. Swirl and sniff the wine it, then sip it. If you like it the waiter will pour some for each diner, then fill your glass last.

If you feel something is wrong with the wine such as a rank, musty, or vinegary aroma indicating a bad cork, you have the right to send the wine back and request a replacement. Some restaurants will also allow you to send back a wine if you dislike the flavor. Be sure about sending the wine back. Unless it is truly bad, it is very costly for the restaurant to waste otherwise good wine.

This wine tradition is intended to ensure you are getting the wine you ordered, and that the wine is good. Some restaurants have abandoned it because there are few really “bad” wines. If you do order a wine and it turns out to be awful, return it. It’s your right.
