Creating a wine list
Creating a great wine list can greatly improve the business of a restaurant. Many
restauranteurs know food but they don't know wine. Below are a few of the most common
questions that surround the creation of a great wine list. It can't be stressed
enough that taking the time making a wine list can benefit your busines.
How do I create a wine list?
This is a tough question but the best answer is a "wine list
expert". A wine list is a very important aspect of a restaurant. Before
you create your wine list ask yourself, "Do I have the knowledge to create
a wine list that will help my business?"
What much do I spend on my wine list?
You can spend as much or as little as you want on a wine list. The three
main components are the number of seats in your restaurant, the type of
food you serve, and the amount of money you have to invest. The biggest mistake
restaurants can make is investing too much money in their wine cellar.
How important is my wine list?
Depending on the food you serve you wine list could make or break your business.
All chefs know great wine can make a meal and bad wine can ruin a meal. By having
a well designed wine list you can improve your customers dining experiences.
How many wines by the glass should I offer?
The more wines you offer by the glass the more 'wine snobs' will be impressed. It
is nice to be able to choose a few different wines to try with dinner. The
downside being that once a wine is open it starts aging quickly. One quick rule-of-thumb,
if most people have to drive to your restaurant offer more wines by the glass.
Is there a template I can use to make a wine list
I don't know of a template but since with some many requests I will get
one posted up soon.
