What is the policy for wine by the glass?

• A. Bottled and served elsewhere
• B. Presented in a bottle, poured in the room
• C. Pouring at the bar only
• D. Served in a glass and decanted

Answer: (B)

Wine by the glass should be presented in the bottle and poured in the room. This means the server brings the bottle to the table, shows the label to the guest, confirms the correct wine and vintage, and then pours the wine for the guest in the dining area. This practice promotes transparency, allows the guest to verify they’re getting the intended bottle, and ensures accurate pouring and accountability. It also enhances the dining experience by maintaining guest engagement and service flow.

The other approaches don’t fit this standard: presenting the bottle only elsewhere hides the wine from the guest, pouring at the bar deprives the guest of the bottle verification and table-side service, and decanting for a glass pour isn’t typical or necessary and can complicate service.
