…As guest at someone’s home
Оглавление“Religions change; beer and wine remain.”
- Hervey Allen (1889-1949)
When you bring a bottle of wine as a gift, you should expect the host to open and serve it. Wine is about communal sharing and fun. So unless you specifically request the host to keep and enjoy it later, the host should serve it. If the host already had a wine they planned to serve, they should serve both if the wine goes with the planned main course. Tasting both wines will be an educational experience. Some people mark the gift bottle with the initials of the donor on the wine label. When they drink the bottle of wine later, they call the giver and tell them how much they enjoyed the wine with their meal and how much they enjoyed thinking of that person while dining with their wine.
