3 good reasons to have a relevant and well-structured wine list

Increase in the value perceived by the customer

A tailor-made wine list must highlight the quality of the restaurant and the dishes served, increasing the value perceived by the customer.

Increase average spend per head

A business must aim above all to increase the average spend per customer, but still with the perception of value for money. This is possible by creating a wine list with attention to detail that stimulates curiosity, whether for a connoisseur or an occasional consumer.

Waste reduction and turnover increase

A business that does not have a suitable and periodically updated wine list, risks a decrease in sales and consequently a loss of turnover. Not having a relevant wine list will prove detrimental, as often the margin made on wine is more than that made on the food.

Why choose us

Your Trusted Sommelier 2.0

Our consultancy will be digital, allowing us to cover the national and international territory. Where possible, we will reach you in person by organising visits and tastings.

We will schedule video consultations to review your by the glass/bottle selection, to ensure
that labels rotate constantly and remain relevant, in order to maximise sales.

Our job is to improve the overall performance of your restaurant and not the direct sale of
any given product.

For this reason, we try to create each list based on the needs of the individual customer,
whilst maintaining strong relationships with historical suppliers.

We like to describe ourselves, in this era of continuous change and innovation as Your Trusted Sommelier 2.0.

Work with the same suppliers, without disrupting any agreements, or we will choose new ones together.

Our role is consultancy and recommendation. We will never force you to buy wine owned by us or by our partners. The wine list we create for your restaurant will be decided together and you may keep your current suppliers.

You can save on internal cost without the need to hire an additional employee.

Thanks to our consultancy, it will not be necessary for you to hire an internal expert to follow the drafting, creation and updating of the list and advise the most suitable combinations.

Save precious time dedicating it to other activities, we'll take care of the wine selection.

Creating an exceptional and well balanced wine list requires time and attention to detail. We will take care of how to implement and update a bespoke list based on seasonal changes and menus, ensuring its relevance to your business.
