Expert Mastery Theory
The 3 major principles for perfect wine service are as follows. 1. Verification (Label Check): Have the guest verify with their own eyes whether the order details and the actual product match. 2. Fault Checking: Pour a very small amount of wine to have the guest check the condition through tasting to see if there are any problems with the aroma (whether it's corked, etc.). 3. Safe Service: A dignified attitude of pouring politely without touching the rim of the glass or the label is required.
Pass-Guarantee Tip
[Trap]: Some people think "It is polite to cover the label with your hand when serving", but this is exactly the opposite. The label must always face forward or upward so the guest can see it well. [Tip]: The WSET exam focuses on 'system' rather than 'dignity'. Draw this sequence in your head like a machine: Order verification -> Cork removal -> Fault check -> Serving.
