Eli5: Fancy restaurant question

1.13K viewsOther

When people are at a fancy restaurant and order a bottle of wine the waiter brings it out and pours out a sip to taste. What happens if the customer dosen’t like it? Can you actually send back the whole bottle? Does the customer pay for it? What does the restaurant do with the rest of the bottled?

Thanks 🥰

While this is true for ordering a bottle, I should note if you’re ordering by the glass and especially at less snooty restaurants you definitely can ask for a taste before your make up your mind. They often will have an open bottle and there’s no harm in pouring a small sample.

But if you’re ordering a whole expensive bottle it’s a whole different ball game.
