From their perspective, you’ve already tasted and approved the wine, and you haven’t mentioned that it’s flawed. But restaurants are in the business of serving their customers and making sure they leave happy, so I think the first step is to call over the person who served you the wine, explain that you were distracted when you approved the bottle, and explain to them whatever you think is amiss.įrom there, what happens next will depend on the restaurant. Unfortunately, at that point, you already approved the wine. Then the server pours you a taste of wine and, again, you either approve or reject it.īut if you’re having a good time, maybe you’re not paying full attention and only later realize you’ve been served the wrong wine. It’s at that point that you should either approve the wine or point out that it’s not what you ordered.
When you order wine at a restaurant, part of the process is that the server or sommelier presents the bottle to you while saying the name of the wine. If I order a wine and the server brings a different vintage of the same wine, but I don’t notice until after the wine has been served, what’s the proper etiquette? One of my pet peeves is restaurants with out-of-date wine lists.
