Eli5: Fancy restaurant question

1.15K 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 🥰

The sample is to check if the wine has gone bad.

Because wines can be stored for a long time, there is a chance for them to go bad due to imperfect seals, imperfect storing conditions, a bad batch, etc.

If it has turned into vinegar or had some other drop in quality, the customer can return it.
