Some basics on carrying wine glasses -- not exactly perfect standards but a reasonable start.
DISCLAIMER: Real Server Training is not for fine-dining and not focused on teaching the highest standards of wine table service. It's a basic guide for most servers working in most restaurants. The aim is to get you up and running and doing a good job -- a better than average job.
There will inevitably be people that take issue with what's being taught in this video on how to carry wine glasses. That's fine. This is not the authoritative guide on all things wine, and I will be the first to admit that I am not a wine serving expert.
Your restaurant will likely have its own standards for you to follow. Follow those. More likely, however, is your restaurant won't offer any guidance, hence you're watching this series.
Now with all that being said, there's nothing being taught here that should be found too objectionable.
In the beginning, I do offer one carry which is holding the bowls of three full glasses in one hand. Even I never do this, but I see it often enough and found that most restaurant guests don't take real issue with it.
Someday I'd like to get a wine course put together if time permits... or maybe you can put one together for me! I'll put it on this channel if it's engaging, pragmatic, and genuinely helpful. Seriously. Get in touch.
