Procedure in opening a bottle of still wine
(white, red and rose wine)
Open the bottle of wine using the waiters corkscrew. Don’t
place a bottle of wine at the table during the process of
opening the wine. Use a side table if needed, particularly if it
is a matured wine that needs to be decanted before serving.
But don’t place it at the guest table if possible. Move back a
little bit to have some space while you open the wine and also
to avoid accidentally hitting the guest wile opening the wine.
Make sure that you open the wine correctly because if you
make some mistake like having some cork bits in the wine,
the guest might reject the wine and ask you to replace it. In
this case rejected wine at your fault will be charged to you,
depending also on the policy of the establishment on how
much is the charge either at cost or at price.
