- Ask about preferred style, chosen dishes and budget.
- A concrete question helps: “Lively and light, or full and supple?” Two well-explained suggestions are often enough.

Serving still wine
Three recommendation questions
1 / 3- For each suggestion, give the precise wine, producer, available vintage and price.
- Justify it through the desired taste and dish, without promising that vintage alone guarantees quality.
- If unavailable, seek a similar style and price.
- Example: “That wine is unavailable; this one keeps the freshness you want, with a little more body.” Wait for the guest's choice.
- Also suggest an alcohol-free option suited to the dish and preferences.
- Check the actual available product and characteristics before recommending it; do not assume it exactly reproduces a wine's profile.
