Section 3 – Opening the Wine
Opening a bottle of wine can be tricky. And it’s very obvious if you haven’t opened many bottles before.
Fumbling or looking awkward opening a wine bottle is a major “loss of gratuity” signal to the guest.
Sure — it’s easy if the wine just has a screwtop aluminum cap (unless you try to use a corkscrew on it. Don’t laugh!)
With a screwtop, just unscrew the screwcap and put the cap in your pocket. You don’t present the screwcap to the table host as you would do for a cork.
