Worked at a hotel lounge and bar for a month now with zero experience. We do serve wine but normal cheap wine. I serve it like what he's shown and most foreigner are amazed i knew how to serve
I would pull the cork almost out of the bottle, then remove the corkscrew from the cork before wiggling the cork out, its far more efficient to have control over and remove silently an old cork and you don't have to screw the cork off the corkscrew after pulling it out while holding the bottle and rubbing the corkscrew that's been in your pocket over the exposed rim of the bottle which should also be wiped with a linen after removing the cork especially if the bottle is old or the corkscrew has crumbled some or went through the bottom of the cork. The cork should also be felt and smelled quickly by the server to detect a rotted or bad wine before the guest does. Also removing the cork is not always necessary in US if a couple wishes to take the bottle with them for example after dinner and you push the cork back into the bottle and package it up to go.
I think your technique is very good I love it, but some knowledge might not be right. You let the host taste the wine to approve that the wine has not gone bad, not if they like the wine or not. The only condition the host can return the wine is if it has gone bad, never because it tastes bad.
In fact by smelling the corck one should already be able to figure it out. However I do notice that the act of tasting etc adds some experience so I support that part
According to where I work we’re supposed to let the wine “breathe” after opening which is why cork isn’t placed back on bottle. But who knows I’m still learning
You should be wiping the top of the bottle with a serviette after removing the tip of the capsule, and once again after removing the cork according to the Court of Master Sommeliers.
Everything looks perfect instead of one thing. “You said to not remove the bottle and the label but in the min:2:12 sec you bottle has moved totally out of the angle. Everything else looks perfect!!
Lol. Ehh not even. the word napkin is used in American English whereas the word serviette is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, etc. In Spanish the word is servilleta.
Hi! serviette is just a french term to napkin, nothing fancy about it. Im in Montreal and so with french speakers i use serviette and with english speakers i just say it in english as napkin
No matter how long you've been in the business, it's always useful to be reminded of the proper standard of service. Thank you, Jordan!
Thank you for showing so clearly & properly how to remove foil / handle key / proper cuts

Awesome, thanks for sharing.
the way his face was so proud that it didn't make a sound when the cork came out kills me

Well done, Jordan! You certainly have many skills, including video production.:)
Thanks Mr. Isaac!

100% right.

You dont work in the yes business
I would be upset if my waiter denied me the satisfaction of the cork's pop
High end restaurants usually want it to be silent when opening a bottle of wine.
Waiter for 3 months, nobody showed me how to do it. But still the colleges are always here to complain about my way to do things 😅
why should we avoid the pop sound?
It’s more professional. It’s the standard set by the court of master sommeliers
What kinda wine key did you use?
Thanks so much for this video!
How do you know who the host is? Is that established during introductions?
The one that orders the wine.
This helped a lot thank you.
can you put the cork back into the bottle or is it kinda like once the bottle's been open, that's it.

Excelent service
what if the host is a girl? do you still go to another person to pour wine?
The host is always last. Even if it’s a girl. Cheers!
The Pop can give the wine an air shock its called in terms of Restaurant!!!...
I’m so glad I work in a nice casual restaurant lol this makes my brain hurt
Beautiful
🍷
what do you keep looking at?
Its supposed to sound like a kiss. "Almost Sommelier"

Wine is so pretentious
I thought the question was how to open a bottle of wine not what kind of glasses and where to put this stuff
"Serviette"... I guess the term "napkin" is just too plain, low class, and not pretentious enough for fancy folks. LoL!
Lol. Ehh not even. the word napkin is used in American English whereas the word serviette is used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, etc. In Spanish the word is servilleta.
Not for us box wine people
