Wine by the glass is ____________ and ______ in the room.

• A. Presented in a bottle, poured in the room
• B. Served at the table in glass
• C. Decanted before service
• D. Served from the bottle at the bar

Answer: (A)

Wine by the glass is presented in a bottle and poured in the room because the service flow is built around transparency and guest verification. Bringing the bottle to the table allows the guest to see the label, confirm the wine, and even sniff or taste a sample if desired before service. Then the wine is poured into the guests’ glasses right there in the dining room, giving everyone a sense of occasion and control. Pouring from the bottle at the bar bypasses that visible verification and the at-table experience, and decanting isn’t a standard step for all wines by the glass.
