The point is to check the wine for defects, not wether it is good. You do that by smell for vinnegar or cork, check for particles and taste if it has gone bad or cork defect. If trained this is done in a matter of seconds.
@@lifeofafreespirit9812 I didn't know that and found it interesting, so maybe just let people share their wealth of knowledge with others without getting passive aggressive over the internet about it.
@@RogerH_CxP I wasn't trying to insult them you fucking comment warrior and yes it was bc Joey had nothing to do with the video and that's fine I bet you are the type to argue the sky isn't blue
No this vlip is about 2 years old, he uploaded it to his main youtube channel somewhere, the dude doesn't know what he's doing, and (the waiter was probably holding in his smile bc his girl is filming him) [the smile part is speculation only because he's doing it wrong]. The part about his girl is true. The dude looks good doing it, there is a saying, fake it till you make it. And props for that but that wasn't it (: Swirl it high around inside the glass, then lift it and put your whole nose i the glass literally, and take a deep breath in, then pour some in your mouth and let it rest around your tongue, then swallow or drink all while you still have the entire wine scent in your nose. You'll taste the entire process and age of the wine in an instant and you can tell if something is wrong with it.
@@SugeKnateSadly i didn't make it up, i also doubt that making typos is a language issue. Plus i don't even speak English in my day to day life so let's switch roles and you talk to me in my language how does that sound? Again... Im just pointing it out for the people who are interested who love wine, no need to feel offended or attacked because of my comment. Why? Because there is a HUGE difference in the way you drink your wine and the outcome of the experience. That's why the waiter pours a little first, to see if you're happy with it or if you want a different bottle. Idk but the way it seriously looked to me was that the waiter looked like he was being cordial and respectful while also thinking what is this guy doing. Lol, but again props to the guy he looks like he's doing great in life and is having fun and that's what really matters.
@@nuggetbucket1141 So let me actually tell you instead, if he knew etiquettes he would shake the glass around to make the whole glass wet first, then lift it and put his entire nose in the glass and take a deep breath with it then taste as he has the smell of the wine in the nose, he held the little spot sideways and then smelled for like a milisecond which doesn't do anything. The dude is clueless and the waiter thinks it's funny and PROBABLY needs to hold in his laugh, but he is acting respectful in front of the dudes gf because he's a waiter, and waiters are suppoaed to have major class. So now what bro? Was that a reason to go against me? Argumentative prick? I can say the same back to y'all and it's true i speak 7 languages so what's your point, welke wil je horen dan? Français? Deutsch? Español o Italiano? How abouf Maghrebi Arabic? Turçe? Please shush man.
That's so true. Waiter gave great service to the right customer and got acknowledged for it. A great interaction between a connoisseur and a professional
For those that do not know, this is a specific process done during a wine tasting. It is said to "open up" the wine more. First by "airing it" by using a small amount in the glass to coat the inside. Then you smell it because most of your taste is from smell. And the test where he turned the glass on its side was testing its "legs) or the stickyness of the wine by how it "walks" on the side or runs Sorry felt compelled to use the actual terms but also clarify what they were.
@myPfPisCool no problem my family isn't really wine-o-s. But we do drink a few bottles every holiday and it truly does make it taste better in a way. But then you gotta look at wet versus dry wines (reds, white, and pink) how red is usually considered more dry than white and pink usually varies by manufacturer and year like scotch and whiskey.
A lot of people do not understand the respect of the server and patreon.. If he knows about food and etiquette.. That is a person who will tip well.. Most likely they know each other enough already.. He happy to see this guy again..
@@glebkornilov8984 that's debatable. The Waiter could be happy or proud because he is simply a regular customer and the Waiter knows him very well. Or he could be appreciative of the fact that guy has proper etiquette and elegance compared to most people who come there. Or he could be appreciative of the customer being respectful to the Waiter. Not always about money but iam not denying it either
@@REX-yf6zui was alway taught proper etiquette is not having your elbows on the table (for some ungodly reason) and eating with your mouth closed. I only do the latter because the first is stupid
@@Menibor1 The client knew how to appreciate the wine. He aerated it, smelled it, examined the colour and savoured. Throughout, the waiter recognizes that the client understands how to appreciate the wine, and they became visibly happier for it. Sometimes your work or product goes underappreciated, and it can detract from your own satisfaction of your work. Here, the client appreciated the wine and the waiter, and the waiter in turn appreciated a well informed/behaves client.
To people who don't know... When you order wine, some restaurants pour a slip-full in the glass to make sure the customers likes it (The wine might be "bad" or they didn't like the year it was made). After approval from the customer, waiter pours out the rest. Usually its done from the wine bottle itself, but I guess they did it with a secondary container in the video. Hope that helps.
To people who know… Restaurants pour wine just to know if the wine is corked or not !!! It’s not about the wine might be bad or customer didn’t like the year… The year is also important in your decision to drink this bottle or another one !!!
I'm french, we do that here because every bottle from every vigneron even the most expansive can be "bouchonné" it means when the wine take the flavour of the liège* from the bouchon (*l'écorce du chêne, generally produced in portugal - unfortnately they are often made of plastic today). But never in my life I ve seen a waiter poor wine from a pichet. Normaly you poor it from the bottle. It is a trust issue, you can poor any wine in a pichet
@@roflomaozedong comme vous l’avez dit, c’est pour voir si le vin est bouchonné donc l’aérer ou regarder la robe ou la couleur du vin ne sert à rien… Et oui c’est moi aussi la première fois que je vois un vin servit d’un pichet !!! Bref le gars en fait trop et pour rien… Encore ça serait une dégustation ou test je dis pas mais là ça ne sert strictement à rien !!!
@@XxAMD123xX, sometimes, more in the past, today is rare enter air in the bottle and the wine is not good. So they make an apresentation of the wine. Sorry my english.
He's doing it way too quickly to actually be doing it 😂 it's obvious he doesn't know but he's seen it, so he mimicked perfectly how it looks like sped up 😂 which makes it even funnier 😂😂😂
@@henry00eilersuhh…no? Have you never seen sommeliers taste a wine? This is pretty standard. Going any slower would be disrespectful of the servers time, it doesn’t take that long, he’s clearly just done this a lot. Dudes not trying to blind identify a locality and vintage, he’s just making sure the wine is what he was expecting expecting. Checking nose, color, and legs on a known wine shouldn’t take you very long at all, unless you’re just trying to be pretentious
I great waiter like this does not go unappreciated by someone like that patron. Often the waiter will chose the wine for the patron so it's an awesome chemistry when they are on the same page and the entire meal can literally be blissful.
Well it’s RU-vid where everyone’s racist and thinks a young black man can’t properly appreciate wine, so it does kinda belong here imo. I mean just look at the comments, 80% of them are racist
I love that and I love the clear respect he has for staff too. I hate when people think if they are somewhere fancy enough or they pay a certain amount they don't have to be respectful. love the whole thing
And that everybody.. was TRULY how you do it hahaha. Very elegant and he not only did this perfectly but the server was flawless also. Very well mannered and educated on dining etiquette! Awesome to see in 2024 Edit: thanks for all the appreciation on the post guys! it’s awesome to see people admiring him and talking about it which means it’s obviously not quite as of a lost art form as I thought lol! God bless!
@@madhavsingh6285 Guy who replied to you is just flatout wrong lmfao. You're right, that is why they do the taste test. If they didn't like the taste though they'd get a different wine or a different bottle. Literally not 1 restaurant anywhere would say "Oh sorry sir, I'll grab you another glass of the same wine you just tried, surely just this one was bad!" They did the presentation probably to look professional but like you said the reason this eqiquette even exists is to ensure the quality of the wine you just ordered. Plus if he didn't like it, they can still use the bottle for service drinks because it may have been his preference and not actually bad, this case the wine is poured and already at the table lmao there's no going back. And for the record, commenter said "that was flawless" when the server hit the glass at the end which other than spilling - is the worst thing you can do in presenting the wine. Not a big deal cause the guy who ordered it isn't an arrogant prick but it's known to neverrrr touch the glasses.
I love how he actually knew what he was doing! ❤ I have watched so many people pretend to know what they are doing and go through the motions incorrectly. You can tell when someone actually watches the legs. 🥰
He did everything properly and except the smell , I actually don’t know why he switched so fast from: about to smell , to directly checking the robe. It’s like he cancelled the smell test
@@charliejlavery I used to work serving fine wines in a fancy restaurant and it is just surprising how many people(young & old) don’t actually know what it is they are looking for while going through the wine tasting. I like his style of checking and it’s just nice to see his eyes show his complete understanding of the process! ❤️
@@Thibaut_Gstn Some people just smell it up close and then pull away for the wafting effect. It’s a different technique. I do agree. Never saw anyone doing that 20 years ago.
As a former waiter, it’s rare when a customer makes us feel happy to serve them!…I’ve never experienced it in person, but I know this guy did & I would have also!
@@exister4959 I was thinking this, too. Wait, I am suppose to be judging this man? Like.. I am white.. so.. am I supposed to be judging him because he's black? I am confused
They don’t do this for you to taste. It’s to make sure the bottle you got hasn’t spoiled or was already opened. Acting like this was a tasting is a rookie mistake.
For those of you who don’t get it, they always pour a small amount so that you can decide if you really want a full glass poured, since you wouldn’t want to spend a bunch of money on something that you don’t like plus the house would not want to throw it away and refund it if you don’t like it
No. Restaurants will offer you to taste the wine to ensure it isn't corked. That's all. You don't get to order a bottle, have it opened and then decide you don't want it because you made the wrong choice. You should either know the wine style you like or ask for advice from the sommelier.
Hahaha completely wrong. You don’t taste the wine to see if you like it, you taste to see if there are imperfections. Wine etiquette says that once you order it if the wine is in good shape you consume and pay for it.
@@Jonneh111 exactly I t makes me cringe the amount of times I've seen someone sample the wine in a restaurant and say to the waiter "yes very nice" 😂🙄 as if he wants their opinion on flavour. You should be using your taste buds but also your sense of smell, if anything smell more to detect if it is spoiled: - An acrid smell, sharper than the normal acidity you expect from wine - the wine has oxidised as the cork's airtightness has failed - A sulphurous smell, sometimes compared to a freshly lit match - a mouldy smell which comes from mould in the cork wood spreading into the wine. And contrary to what most people think, screw capped wine can be "corked" as well, as the fault isn't always the fault of the cork but also the manufacturing process or storage.
@@Milankov94because every time a black person does something good or bad it’s about race. This is how the world is setup. It sucks. But I wonder what the comments would’ve been if it was a white guy. Sometimes people be saying stuff about how they’re so privileged… like let people enjoy life w/o reducing them to a color dammit. 🙄
The fact that he knew how to properly taste the wine is awesome. Especially when uptight hoity toity people are clueless. And the waiter seemed impressed. Love it
We say beef to mean cow meat. The reason is the nobility in England at the time was all french speaking. Imitating the nobility to seem cultured was the thing to do, so they called it beuf which was french for... Cow meat. My point is this is an imitation that only works if the person you are presenting to doesn't know what you're supposed to do. When a waiter brings you a wine and gives you a bit in a glass, it's so you can make sure it isn't corked (or in some other way ruined). You check the color because a brownish one hints at something wrong, you tilt it so the wine is more transparent so you can check for detritus, you smell it and then taste it. Going through all the steps is rarely called for and you'll see actual experts putting the same effort into it they put in checking they have their wallet. But what's really telling is that the wine is coming from a carafe, not a bottle, and is being served by the glass. At that point it's completely arbitrary, as you're not testing a bottle that has just been opened and it's a bottle that is being served by the restaurant that would then themselves do the due diligence of making sure it's alright. It's the difference between counting the cards and checking they're of the right composition when you buy a first edition Pokemon pack off a seller, and doing those same checks after buying a regular pack at GameStop.
Observe a real taster and tell the seconds it takes to do this test that would be something simple for them, an experienced taster takes between 10 and 15 seconds to do the process that as I said is something very simple for them, you want to come and tell me that this rich boy is doing the process well, if it barely lasts 4.5 seconds and didn’t even smell it, he barely put it in his nose he removed it, in the smell it is almost what they are most entertained when doing the test and this rich boy almost omitted it, they just pretend to look sophisticated, just like the waiter, two infants.
@clowntergeistt Everyone starts somewhere I guess. I’m a coffe guy and don’t expect everyone to know what to look for in an espresso but seeing a novice in coffee culture ask for an espresso and actually trying to evaluate and taste in the correct manner is always refreshing since eventually that interest is going to convert into real knowledge and taste
