They were chosen because they offered great value and had the right package. More importantly, they were reviewed by trade buyers, sommeliers, and wine directors like you.

Given how important wine sales are to the ultimate profitability of a restaurant, it’s perhaps no surprise that wine directors and sommeliers are becoming more and more creative with the ways that they promote and merchandise their wines. With the right approach, customers are much more likely to upgrade to a higher-priced wine or order an additional bottle with every meal.
