Actually briefly microwaving wines that are too cold is a common sommelier trick. Whether the wine in question actually was too cold or not is probably a matter of opinion.

I guess this probably goes back to the topic of giving what the customer wants, but.......
if you are serving a wine that is out of the optimum temperature (and we are in Tassie here) then really, what kind of service are you providing?
I do not call myself a sommelier, (i have no formal qualifications) and I would certainly not be microwaving any wines.

I would sooner drink 4x gold......

My wife nearly fell off her chair she was laughing so much.


You need to change doctors :lol:
