Wine-by-the-Glass

Most restaurants offer “wine-by-the-glass”. In other words, instead of ordering a bottle you can order a glass of a specific wine. The concept is a great idea, as it allows consumers to sample different wines without having to buy a whole bottle. It’s a great educational tool as well exposing the taster to wines from different countries and regions at a minimal cost. Certain eateries will highlight a specific, different wine each week at a special price. You can tell which restaurants are really wine savy as they generally have a large selection to choose from, while others have but a token few. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it allows the patron to enjoy some wine with dinner without feeling they have to drink a whole bottle.
