Etiquette tips to serve well a wine in a restaurant

When someone serves you a wine in a restaurant, mind and requires compliance with the following ritual (only if you want).

2. Presentation of the bottle sealed: the bottle without open must be presented to the host for its approval. Make you sure that the wine is the same that it was asking for.
3. Open the wine: To open the wine follow these steps:

• Pull the top part of the capsule out, cutting around below the lip of the bottle. This could be done with a foil cutter or a sharp knife.
• Clean the neck of the bottle with a clean cloth.
• Take the cork out. There are several kinds of corkscrews, although the most important thing is to take the corck out softly and clean without breaking it.
• Clean the neck of the bottle again, inside and outside.

4. Taste the wine: It serves a bit of wine in the glass of the host to taste it.
