  • RSA Certificate – Get Yours And Learn About The Right Wine Glass

    RSA Certificate –  Learn About The Right Wine Glass

     

    Just like customers, glasses come in all shapes and sizes. Each type of stemware has a specific purpose. From the Sherry glass to the Hurricane glass, each has a unique shape that changes the drinking experience. The stem, however, has a universal purpose, temperature control. The heat from the drinkers hand is constantly transferring heat, causing the drink to taste different. A drink that is served in stemware should always be held, either, by the stem or the foot (base of the glass). Sherry This little guy is made for sipping Sherry. Since Sherry is distilled wine, the temperature is very important. And since it is distilled, the alcohol content is higher, so you serve smaller portions than regular wine. Do your RSA Certificate and Learn more! Brandy Snifter Brandy is also a distilled wine. The very curvy shape of a Brandy snifter helps hold the alcohol that would normally dissipate into the air, inside the glass. The word snifter implies, correctly, that you should sniff the air in the glass, while drinking. Temperature is key with this glass, as well. You want the heat to transfer from the hand of the drinker, the warmer temperature helps the alcohol to evaporate. Swirling also helps to release the alcohol, as well as the brandy’s fragrance.

They also usually have smaller mouths to catch all the aromas and deliver them to your nose. Do your RSA Certificate and Learn more! Red Wines Red wine glasses are usually larger with larger mouths, perfect for swirling and smelling the wonderful fragrances. Since there are so many with a red wine, it is not important to keep it collected in a glass, so the mouth is wider. Though a Port glass resembles a champagne flute, it is still a red wine glass. The larger size is not for a larger portion, it is for swirling. Do your RSA Certificate and Learn more! Champagne In the 19th century, the Coupe was all the rage, but it allowed the bubbly to go bust. With the wide surface area, the Coupe served up flat glasses of champagne, and it was super easy to spill. Now, most people use the Champagne Flute. A proper Flute has a small bead, at the base of the bowl, that allows the bubbles to accumulate and release in the center of the glass. But a flute is so good at “not spilling” that it hinders the swirling aspect of the champagne experience. The Tulip glass is best for serving champagne, it allows the drinker to see bubbles right down to the last drop and allows them swirl and sniff until their heart is content.

  • Change or Tip?

    Joe Barfly sits down on a barstool at his local pub. He orders his usual. He shoots the breeze with his mates, and after his usual number of pints, he gets up and attempts to leave. The bartender notices that he has left his change sitting on the bar but says nothing, hoping that it is a tip or he had just forgotten to take it. Joe leaves and the bartender takes care of another customer. When the bartender returns, expecting to collect the money, they find someone else sitting at the bar. They order a pint and take money from the stack of bills in front of them. Knowing that the money didn’t belong to this new patron, the bartender tells the customer that that isn’t their money. The customer protests and an argument ensues. In the end, there is a big scene, a few customers have left and the bartender has lost out on, at least, two possible tips.

    What should the bartender have done to prevent this?

    They should have been honest. They should have spoke up and told Joe that he had left money on the bar. Yes, he might have put back in his pocket. He, also, may have told the barkeep to put it in their tip jar. If the bartender would have been honest, it would have kept the new customer honest as well. With no money to argue about, the customer would have likely left a tip, as well. Not to mention, all the customers the drama scared off. The bartender lost sales and tips, simply because they were not honest. So if in doubt, honesty is the best policy.

    So simply by following some steps that the RSA training course will outline for you, you can avoid argument, conflict and scaring patrons off. So get your RSA certificate today and start working in a bar or premises asap!
