This Is Everything I Wish People Would Stop Doing in My Wine Bar
It’s probably not what you think
People worry about completely the wrong things in a wine bar.
They worry about their lack of wine etiquette. They worry they’ll be judged by what they order.
I get why you might think you’ll make an ass of yourself by holding your glass the wrong way or something. Articles with titles like this crappy little number don’t help:
I’ve been a bartender for over 10 years. Here are 11 things I wish customers would stop doing.

Us Somms and bar staff don’t judge on those things. At least, not if we’re good at our job.
