Those of us who have never pretended to know how to order wine, when in reality she didn't know anything about it, raise your finger. Nobody ? Yeah, it's true that it's a pretty stressful time when you feel judged. So generally, we act as if and end up ordering a wine that is neither the cheapest (don't want to be thought of as a stingy!), nor the most expensive (don't push!). The English site The Independent conducted the survey, and the answer is quite simple:you have to be honest.
Wine expert Robert Bohr explained that you shouldn't be afraid to admit that you have a small budget and that you want to be tipsy with friends, just like you better say when you are with your in-laws and you want to pull out all the stops. Ditto, it is better to be very specific in what you like, and not to remain vague or go out of terms that you do not not include. For example, if we like Alsace wines, we say so. They are not the same as those of Bordeaux. We can also use adjectives, even if they seem "awkward" to us:a wine that stays in the mouth for a long time, a taste of fruit, a light wine... The more indications we give, the more the waiter can direct us to a good drink. And while in some restaurants the goal is to sell expensive wine, in most establishments this is not the case, and the waiters will just be happy to help.
Clearly, we relax and we accept to discover other things and to admit that we do not necessarily know how to choose (it will come!). Good discoveries to the key!
