Somm House 餐廳葡萄酒服務 - 起泡酒的服務

Serving sparkling wine. When the host is ready, take their order. In order to avoid any mistakes, repeat the order back to the host. Select the sparkling wine glasses and place on the table in the correct position. Then, fetch the pre-prepared ice bucket and place next to the table. In the cellar, select the wine from the fridge. Double check it is the correct bottle. Then, carefully carry the bottle to the table. Present the bottle, making sure the label is visible. Repeat the order back to the host, including the name, vintage, and producer. When opening the wine, it is best to use a side table, or gueridon. Remove the foil from around the cork, using the tab or a waiter's friend. Loosen the cage using the metal tag. Now the cork needs to be held securely, and the bottle should be pointed away from any customers. Hold the cork and twist the bottle, releasing the cork in a controlled way. Wipe around the neck of the bottle before returning to the table. Hold the bottle, ensuring the label is visible. Pour a sample for the host, and wait for their approval. Moving clockwise, pour the wine for the other guests. It is usual to serve ladies before gentlemen. It is important to pour slowly, to prevent bubbles spilling out of the glass. Catch any drips with a service cloth. Fill the host's glass last. Finally, place the bottle carefully in the ice bucket, with the service cloth on top. At some points during the meal, the guests will require top-ups. Use your judgment to assess when to do so. It is important not to top-up too frequently, as this can irritate customers. When you do top-up, make sure to wipe down the bottle first. Refill the guest's glass before refilling the host's. Then place the bottle back in the ice bucket.
