1. The order is taken from the hosts right 2. The server repeats the order to the host 3. Proper stemware preceded the bottle to the table 4. Present the bottle label side up to the host and repeat the name and vintage to confrm the order 5. Capsules are cut below the second lip of the bottle. Remove or pocket the capsule from the table 6. Bottle lip is wiped twice with a clean napkin or towel, once before and once after the removal of the cork 7. Remove the cork by inserting the worm of the corkscrew just off-center in the top of the cork and slowly twisting the worm into the cork. Stop twisting before the last rotation of the auger is reached. Lever out the cork gently without causing a pop. 8. Remove the cork from the corkscrew and place it on an underline (wine coaster of B&B plate) to the hosts right. 9. Hold the bottle in the right hand with the label visible to the guest while pouring. 10. Wipe the bottle lip with a napkin/towel after each pour. 11.

If a second bottle of the same wine is ordered, bring a fresh glass for the host to approve the new bottle. Ask if the host wants the guests to have fresh stemware.

HOW TO PRESENT WINE AT THE TABLE Screw Cap Wine Presentation Replace steps 5-8 with the above guidelines. 5. If the selection is sealed with a screw cap, point this fact out to the host. This gives the host the opportunity to confrm the order in light of the new information and allows for discussion of the features and benefts of the screw cap (see additional comments). 6. Hold the bottle not the capsule sleeve. 7. Twist cap off in a counter clockwise direction. Use a clean napkin / towel over the top of the cap as its removed. This will take the edge off the noise. 8. Let the customer know that the cap has some rough edges and it will be removed from the table, but preserved. Place the cap in apron pocket. Retain the cap in case the customer does not fnish the bottle and desires the take the bottle home at the end of the meal (law permitting).

There is internal pressure on the cork which can cause it to eject at high speeds. 2. Always open Champagne bottles pointing away from anyone on a hard surface. 3. Remove the foil covering the wire cage around the cork. 4. Place an open side towel over the bottle and place your thumb over the cage before loosening it. Once the wire is loose, never release a frm grip on the cork. 5. Holding the cork tightly, begin turning the bottle. Control the pressure with your grip, easing the cork out slowly. 6. Never pop the cork.
