Wine Retail Sales, Suggestive Selling & Pairing

Learning about wine is a hands-on activity. However, to engage in a wine discussion, a team member must possess basic knowledge that prepares them for the vocabulary, processes, service elements, and food/wine pairing intracacies that are associated with beverage sales and proper wine service.

Our course lays the foundation on which you can build your operation’s specific wine and menu offerings.

Course Content

This module uses video and high resolution photographs to demonstrate the correct way to open a bottle of wine and/or Champagne. Students learn how to serve wine and are taught about the correct glassware to use, how and why to decant and proper temperatures. Valuable tips to recommend and sell wine more comfortably are also shared.

  • Appropriate Glassware
  • Opening & Decanting
  • Food & Wine Pairings

At the end of the course, students are required to complete a 10-question quiz. Once the quiz is passed, a personalized Certificate of Achievement can be printed.
