How to Order Wine at a Restaurant
Ordering wine at a restaurant can feel like a test you didn’t study for. The list is long. The descriptions are vague or unfamiliar. Prices climb quickly. And sometimes, the moment you hesitate, it feels like everyone at the table suddenly knows exactly what they want except for you. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Even people who enjoy wine regularly feel this pressure. The good news is that ordering wine at a restaurant doesn’t require confidence, expertise, or the “right” vocabulary. It just requires a simple approach and permission to trust your own preferences.
