Unit -I
FOOD AND BEVERAGE SEQUENCE OF SERVICE

Courtesy is one of the most essential aspects of restaurant service, so is a degree of formality,
especially in up market operations. Efforts must be made to ensure a relaxed and welcoming
atmosphere with a warm, friendly and efficient service provided with politeness. Sequence of
service is referred to as the order in which a waiter provides service to guests from the time the
guest enters the restaurant to the time he leaves the restaurant. Preparation to deliver satisfied
service begins before the guest steps into the restaurant with activities like ménage, handling
reservation, allocation of table. Once the guest arrives in the restaurant there is a certain
sequence that is followed to make his/ her meal experience pleasant.

Handling Reservation & Allocation of tables

 Reservations are accepted in fine dining or specialty restaurants; coffee shop


does not accept reservations.
 Following points must be noted down while taking down a reservation
o Name of the guest
o No. of pax
o Time of reservation
o Contact number and name of the booker
o Any special request/ requirement/ table preference.
 Reservations of the day are discussed during briefing prior to meal period;
allocation of the tables is done at this time.
 Allocation of table is done prior to arrival of the guest and a note of the same is made on the
reservation register, so that
o the guests can be seated on appropriate table, as per request or occasion.
o All restaurant staff is aware of the same, thereby eliminating confusion and ensuring
smooth and professional welcome.
o Ensuring optimum seating levels in the restaurant.

Welcoming a guest

However the restaurant staff may seek spontaneity and friendliness, certain rituals are
a must while welcoming a guest to the restaurant.

 As the guest enters a restaurant, he/ she must be greeted cordially and must be
made to feel comfortable. Usually this task is performed by the hostess of the

restaurant staff to see to it that the guest is greeted within 30 seconds of
arriving in the restaurant.
 Guest must be greeted with a clear and affable tone of voice, good appearance
and a smile.

Unit-II
1.SALES PROMOTION

jinka University Page 6


Food and beverage service management-II

The range of foodservice operations within the hospitality industry was considered in
Section. Sectors were identified based on the nature of demand being met rather than the type of
operation. Factors that affect the customer’s enjoyment of a meal were identified in Section and
customer service concepts within Section. This section now considers the various aspects of sales
promotion relevant to food and beverage operations.

Promoting features and benefits

To meet specific food and beverage needs customers tend to view an operation as providing
benefits and solutions not products. In addition to the needs for food and beverage, customer
may also be seeking benefits such as:

l security/peace of mind l status l enjoyment


l time savers l convenience l to comply with legislation.
l money savers l comfort
l health and safety l flexibility

In dealing with customers staff need to concentrate on the selling of features and benefits and
should know how these compare with those of competitors. Members of staff can also adopt
personal and positive selling techniques when taking food and beverage orders.

Determining promotional channels

Determining promotional channels is important because it will identify how consumers will be
reached and attracted to the product. Food and beverage operators should identify and monitor
consumers in order to be informed as to which promotional channels are best for their product.

Approaches to sales promotion

jinka University Page 7


Food and beverage service management-II

Sales promotion involves activities designed to promote regular sales. It is also concerned with
promoting temporary sales to encourage increased business at slack periods such as Mondays,
early evenings and during January/February. Examples of such activities include:
1. offering meal (deal) packages, for example free wine (or a ‘buy one get a second free’ deal),
or offering a free soup or starter as part of the meal package
2. Developing customer loyalty schemes.

Special product sales may also be used to increase sales by promoting particular products,
such as:

1. Festival promotions or links with local, regional or national celebrations


2. Wine and spirit or food promotions (possibly in association with suppliers)
3. Children’s menus, diabetic menus
4. ‘Taste of the Country’ menus, etc.
5. products to complement specific calendar dates, etc.

Four types of sales promotion are particularly useful for foodservice operations:

1 Sales promotion through advertising: concerned with contacting and informing the
existing or potential market of a business, providing information on the products available
and encouraging purchase.
2 Sales promotions though internet and social media: similar to using advertising with
coverage potentially far wider than an intended market can provide the opportunity for
more information to be available to customers on demand. Not so easy to target potential
customers and control as the medium is also interactive and volatile.
3 Sales promotions through merchandising: related mainly to point-of-sale promotion. Its
main role is to improve the average spend per head of the customer. However, it is also used
to promote particular services or goods.
4 Sales promotions through personal selling: refers to the ability of the staff in a food and
beverage operation to actively contribute to the promotion of sales.

Advertising
Advertising media includes:
broadcast: radio, television
print: newspapers – national daily, regional daily, national Sunday, regional Sunday, weekly
regional and free distribution

Consumer publications: directories (Yellow Pages, Thompson’s), guides, business


publications, executive travel publications, technical and professional publications, journals
and other magazines (including local free ones)
other media: commercial transport, terminals and stations, posters, cinema
postal advertising: direct mail, hand drops.

jinka University Page 8


Food and beverage service management-II

In addition to the above, it is worth considering the use of mailing lists to advise existing
customers of special events, etc. Retaining existing customers is always less costly than finding
new ones.

Internet presence and social media


Websites are now a common way to communicate a product to a wide audience. Nowadays
the organization’s website is one of the first stops for consumers when deciding on a product.
Therefore operators need to ensure that their website is attractive, easy to use, up to date and
a true reflection of what is offered.

In addition, when considering marketing activity, an emerging trend is the use of Web 2.0
applications within hospitality organizations. Web 2.0 applications are tools that are user
generated content websites; these may include Trip Advisor, Face book, twitter etc. These tools
include applications that may include blogs, social networks, met averse, podcast, wiki, tags
and RSS (Rich Site Summary). Currently these applications tend to be used more by large chain
and luxury food and beverage operations rather than budget and small independent operators but
this is changing fast.

Table12.2 describes some examples of these applications and their uses within hospitality and
food and beverage operations.

Merchandising

jinka University Page 9


Food and beverage service management-II

Merchandising relates mainly to point-of-sale promotion. Its main role is to improve the
average spend per head of the customer. It is also used to promote particular services or goods.
Examples of food and beverage merchandising tend to be mainly visual, but may also be audio
or audio-visual. Food and beverage merchandising stimuli can include:

1. Aromas l drinks coasters and placemats


2. bulletins/blackboards/floor stands l facia boards and illuminated panels
l directional signs l menus, drinks and wine lists
l display cards/brochures l posters
l displays of food and drinks l tent cards
l trolleys (sweet, liqueurs, etc.) l buffets/salad bars, self-service
counters, bar displays, flambé work, etc.
l other customers’ food/drink.

Written/printed merchandising materials should be effective. As well as considering using


images, make sure the words used are descriptive and attractive, as shown in these examples:
Describing the freshness of the product: freshly prepared, pure, natural, real, freshly
squeezed, handpicked each day, fresh.
Describing the environment: free range, corn fed, a specific location, source or a herd name,
stating that foods are from a local market, home grown, or referring to ‘happy animals’.
Describing the overall product: local flavor, traditional, warming, inventive use of
ingredients, house specialty, signature dish.

Personal selling
Merchandising materials must also be supported by good personal (or positive) selling
techniques. Personal selling refers specifically to the ability of the staff in a food and beverage
operation to contribute to the promotion of sales. This is especially important where there
are specific promotions being undertaken. The promise of a particular type of menu or drink,
a special deal or the availability of a particular service can often be devalued by the inability of
the staff to fulfill the requirements as promised. It is therefore important to involve service staff
in the formulation of particular offers and to ensure that briefing and training are given so that
the customer can actually experience what has been promised.

Members of staff will feel more confident about selling if they have information about the
products on offer. If staff can tell well they can sell well. Examples of the type of information
staff will need to know include:

l a description of what the item is and an explanation of how it is served


l where the produce comes from
l what the local animals are fed on
l where the fish are caught

jinka University Page 10


Food and beverage service management-II

l where the local fruit and vegetables are grown


l how the produce is delivered
l where and how the local drinks are made
l what the specialities of the establishment are and their origin.

There are various ways of enhancing the product knowledge of staff, such as:
l arranging for staff visits to suppliers
l arranging visits to other establishments that use local produce
l seeking out supplier information
l allowing staff to taste products
l arranging for staff to visit local trade fairs
l organising training and briefing sessions for staff. Within the context of personal selling, the
service staff should be able to:
l describe the food, wines and drinks on offer in an informative and appealing way, that makes
the product sound interesting and desirable
l use the opportunity to promote specific items or deals when seeking orders from the customer
l seek information from the customer in a way that promotes sales, for example, rather than
asking if a sweet is required, ask which sweet is required
l use opportunities for the sales of additional items such as extra garnishes, special sauces or
accompanying drinks, such as a dessert wine with a sweet course
l provide a competent service of the items for sale and seek customers’ views on the
acceptability of the food, drinks and the service.

Ability in personal selling is necessary for all aspects of successful food and beverage service.
The contribution of service staff to the meal experience is vital. The service staff contribute to
the customers’ perception of value for money, hygiene and cleanliness, the level of service and
the perception of atmosphere that the customer experiences.
Good food and beverage service staff therefore must have a detailed knowledge of the food and
beverages on offer, be technically competent, have well developed interpersonal skills and be
able to work as part of a team.

2.Basic interpersonal skills

jinka University Page 11


Food and beverage service management-II

1. Addressing customers:
• Always use ‘SIR’ or ‘MADAM’ for addressing a guest.
• If you know the name of the guest, then address him with his first name (not surname) i.e.
Mr.Subroto, Mr. Mohan etc.
• Always greet the guest with ‘GOOD MORNING’ or ‘GOOD EVENING’, while meeting with
the guest at the first time.
• Always say ‘HAVE A NICE DAY’ or ‘GOOD DAY’ or ‘GOOD NIGHT’ or ‘THANK YOU’,
while guest is leaving.
2. Handling incidents
A) spillage:
It is possible that during the service of a course a few drops of sauce or roast gravy may have
fallen on the tablecloth. The following steps should be followed:
• Check immediately that none has fallen on the guest being served. Apologize to the guest.
• If some has fallen on the guest’s clothing, allow the guest to rub over the dirtied area with a
clean damp cloth. This will remove the worst of the spillage.
• If it is necessary for the guest to retire to the cloakroom to remove the spillage then his/her
meal should be placed on the hotplate until he/she returns.
• Depending on the nature of the spillage the establishment may offer to have the garment
concerned cleaned.
• If the spillage has gone on the tablecloth, the waiter should first of all remove any items of
equipments hat may be dirtied or in his/her way.
• He/she should then mop or scrape up the spillage with either a clean damp cloth or a knife.
• An old menu card should then be placed on top of the table but under the tablecloth over the
damaged area.
• A clean rolled serviette should then be brought to the table and rolled completely over the
damaged area. The menu will prevent any damp from soaking into the clean serviette.
• Any items of equipment removed should be returned to their correct position on the tabletop.
• Any meals taken to the hotplate should be returned and fresh covers put down where
necessary.
• Again apologies should be made to guests for any inconvenience caused.
B) Alcohol over consumption:

jinka University Page 12


Food and beverage service management-II

• If prospective client ask for a table and the staff believe the client is possibly under the
influence of drink they may refuse a table, even though there may be one available.
• It is not always possible, however, to recognize a guest who may prove objectionable later on.
• If a guest is suspected of being drunk this must first of all be ascertained by the captain or
restaurant manager.
• The guest should then be asked to leave rather than be allowed to become objectionable to
other guests later on.
• If the guest has already consumed part of the meal but is not being objectionable then the
reminder of the meal should be served in the normal fashion, but the captain must ensure no
more alcoholic beverages offer.
C) Illness customer:
• As soon as noticed that a guest is feeling unwell while in the restaurant, a person in authority
(captain / restaurant manager) should be immediately informed.
• The person in authority must enquire if the guest needs assistance. At the same time he/she
must try to judge whether the illness is of a serious nature or not.
• If the illness appears to be of a serious nature, immediately called hospital for ambulance with
doctor for primary inspection before taking guest to the hospital.
• If after short period of time, the guest returns and continues with the meal, afresh cover should
be laid and the meal returned from the hotplate.
d) Returned food
If the customer is returned food maxim in the following reason
a) Food not cooked properly.
In this we have to handling the customer following way, for example A guest orders a fillet
steak and would like it cooked M/R, when it is delivered to the table it is over cooked and is
more M/W. What do you do?
1) A p o l o g i s e, wait for them to finish talking, thank them for bringing it to your attention.
2) Offer to get them another steak freshly cooked at that it is one you.
3) If they are dining with others offer to take their dishes away so that they can eat together.
4) Read their body language, if they are still unhappy gt them drinks on the house or anything
you think will help restore their trust in us.
5) Remember to stay calm at all times.

Staff organization and training


Staff organization in food and beverage service centers on having sufficient trained and
competent staff on duty to match the expected level of customer demand.

Level of demand and customer throughput

The first step in staff organization is to determine the expected level of customer demand. This
can be done from sales records. As most operations have limitations in the number of customers
that can be served at any particular time, it is also necessary to calculate the potential customer
throughput.
There is a relationship between the volume of customers to be served and the length of time
they stay on the premises. The time customers take in different types of operation varies. An
indication of these times is given in Table.

There is also a relationship between the volume of customers and the opening times of the
operation. For example, in a full service restaurant the seating time of customers might average
one and a half hours. If the restaurant is open for four hours, then it might be possible to fill
the operation twice. If, however, the opening hours were only two and a half hours, then would
not be possible.

Opening times are determined by:

local competition l transport systems


l proximity to local attractions, such as a
theatre l staffing availability
l location of the premises, for example city l volume of business anticipated
centre/country/suburb l local tradition.

Customer throughput in table and assisted service operations

jinka University Page 15


Food and beverage service management-II

Customer throughput can be determined since all customers are usually seated for both table
and assisted service methods. For new operations the throughput must be estimated as it is
limited by the length of seating time and the opening hours of the operation. For existing
operations sales records will provide a guide to potential throughput.

Staffing for each service period can then be estimated and staff allocated to specific jobs.
Staffing will also need to be estimated for mise-en-place duties prior to the service period and
for clearing following the service period. Thus, a restaurant that is open for two and a half
hours at lunchtime may require staff to be on duty for up to five hours.

To calculate the total staffing required:


1 Estimate the number of staff required per service period in one week.
2 Multiply the number of staff per service period by the number of hours worked in each period.
3 Divide total staff hours by full-time working week hours. This will give the full-time
equivalent of number of staff required.
4 Mix part-time and full-time staff hours to cover all service periods.
5 Draw up staff Rota, which may be on a two- or three-week cycle to allow for days off, etc.
The example below is for a restaurant open six days per week for luncheon and dinner;
maximum of 80 covers.

jinka University Page 16


Food and beverage service management-II

As the numbers of staff for each service period have been calculated, a working time rota
can be drawn up. In this example the full-time equivalent staffing is 10. Mixing full- and
part-time staffing could mean that this operation might employ, for example, five full-time
staff working 175 hours (5 staff x 35 hours) with the rest of the required 172 working hours
(347 hours – 175 hours) being covered by overtime and/or part-time staffing. Similar approaches
for estimating staffing requirements exist for the other service method
groups although the calculation of throughput differs, as indicated below.

Customer throughput in cafeteria operations


There are five factors that influence potential throughput in cafeterias:
1 Service time: the time it takes each customer to pass along or by the counter and reach the
till point.
2 Service period: the time the cafeteria is actually serving.
3 Till speed: the time it takes for each customer to be billed and payment taken.
4 Eating/seating time.
5 Seating capacity.
Example 1
All customers will need to be served in:

jinka University Page 17


Food and beverage service management-II

Generally, if the seating time is greater than the service period, then the actual number of seats
will need to equal the total number of customers. If the eating time is less than the time it
takes to serve all the customers then the number of seats may be less than the actual number
of people to be served. However, the queue may need to be staggered to avoid excessive waiting
before service.

Daily duty Rota


The object of a duty Rota is to ensure that all the necessary duties are covered in order that
efficient service may be carried out. The exact nature of the duty Rota will vary according to
the type of establishment, the duties to be performed, the number of staff, staff time off and
whether a split/straight shift is worked. Figure gives an example of a daily duty Rota for
pre-service duties for a table service operation and shows how they may be allocated.

A duty rota also provides the basis for staff training. Detailed lists are drawn up for all the tasks
and duties that must be covered. These task and duty lists will also identify the standards that
are to be achieved for the operation.
Staff training
Training may be defined as the systematic development of people. The general objectives of
training are to:
1. increase the quantity and quality of output by improving employee skills
2. Reduce accidents
3. Increase the return to the employee in personal rewards, such as increased pay, recognition
and other benefits which the employee wants from the job
4. Make the operation more profitable by reducing the amount of equipment and material
required to produce or sell in a given unit

jinka University Page 18


Food and beverage service management-II

5. make it possible for the supervisor to spend less time correcting mistakes and more time in
planning
6. Minimize discharges because of inadequate skills
7. Improve morale and achieve a more satisfactory working environment
8. Enable new employees to meet their job requirements and enable experienced employees to
accept transfers, adapt to new methods, increase efficiency and adjust to changing needs
9. Encourage willingness, loyalty, interest and the desire to excel.

specification and his or her present knowledge and competence.
Training programme
A broad outline of training that indicates the stages or sequence of the training and the time
allowed for each part.
Training manual
This is a guide for the training of staff and trainees that specifies the points to be covered in
training,.

Training programmes and the role of the supervisor


The advantages of clear and thorough training programmes include:
1. identification of standards of performance required
2. improved ability of staff
3. a means of measuring ability
4. more efficient working
5. clearer responsibilities for staff.
The role of the supervisor in training is to:
1. ensure that staff are competent to carry out the duties required of them
2. Ensure that legal and company requirements are met (for example, no staff under 18 to work
with dangerous machinery)
3. Develop and train staff as required
4. Develop existing staff to train others
5. Identify training needs of staff, now and in the future
6. develop the necessary skills to achieve the list of advantages of well-produced training
programmes described above.
What is a training need?
A training need is present when there is a gap between:
1. the knowledge, skills and attitudes displayed by people in their jobs, and
2. the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed for them to achieve the results the job requires,
both now and in the future.
Identifying training needs
In order to systematically determine what the training needs of the operation are, it is necessary
to find specific answers to the questions listed below.

jinka University Page 20


Food and beverage service management-II

Present needs
The first action is to examine the current staffing position and determine where the immediate
training needs are. This includes consideration of the following:

Staffing

l What staffing does the establishment Where do they come from?


Currently have? How are they chosen?
l Where do they fit in?
l How long do they stay and why? How many new people are recruited and
how often?

Agreed job descriptions


l what do the members of staff do in theory and in practice?
l Do they know what they have to do?
Standards and performance
l What results and standards are expected from the staff?
l Are the members of staff aware of these requirements?
l How well do they meet the requirements?
l What prevents these requirements from being met?

Present training
l How do members of staff currently learn their jobs and from whom?
l How well do they learn?
l How quickly do they learn?
Key problems
l Are there any special difficulties:
l in the skills people have to learn
l in the circumstances under which they work
l in organizing training?
Resources
l What training facilities exist within or outside the organization that can be used or
developed?
Future needs
Any change brings a training need with it. It is therefore necessary to ask questions in order to
find out what future training will be needed, for instance:
Normal staff changes and development
l What is the age range of the staff?
l What posts are likely to have to be filled due to:
l retirement
l normal replacements
l transfers?

jinka University Page 21


Food and beverage service management-II

l Is anyone earmarked for promotion?


l What potential for promotion is there?
l What plans are there for craft or other trainees?
Other changes
l What plans, if any, are there for:
l expansion
l new equipment
l new working methods?
l How will existing jobs have to be altered to meet these changes?
l What further training will existing staff need?
l Will new staff be required?
Induction training
Induction training must be given to all new members of staff and should cover such things as:
l health, safety and security policies and procedures
l company employment policies and procedures (related to grievance, disciplinary, sickness,
holidays, periods of notice, etc.)
l organization of working department including duties of colleagues
l other departments – their role and responsibilities
l where things/people are
l duty Rota.

Planning training

Planning the tanning based upon an operations hierarchy which is used to identify tasks
and duties in food and beverage service operations. These tasks and duties are summarized in
the Chart. This identification of their tasks and duties.

For individual operations a similar list of tasks and duties can be drawn up that are specific
to that particular operation. The set of tasks and duties, when compiled, are then analyzed to
identify specific knowledge, skills and attitudes required for each task. In other words, each
task and duty is defined and standards of performance identified. Existing members of staff
are then assessed against these criteria. The gaps are the training needs and plans should then
be drawn up to carry out the training that is required.

Wine

4.1.Types of wine

Wine:
According to the ‘wines and spirits association of great Britain –“ wine is an alcoholic beverage
obtained by the fermentation of which has been carried out in the district of its origin according
to the local traditions and practices. Nothing artificial is added to it.

INTRODUCTION TO WINES - HISTORY OF WINE-MAKING


• There is archeological evidence that wine making was practiced some ten thousand years
ago. The first definite mention of making wines from grapes occurs in the literature of
ancient Greece and Rome.
• The formula travelled through Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome where the Romans
brought it with their empire building to France, Germany and Spain. From Europe, wine
making was extended to America, Africa, Asia and Australia and in every country, the
wines produced are different
The vine
• The vine is a creeper bearing grape fruits. There are five families of wine-producing
vines: vitis vinifera, vitis riparia, vitis rupestris, vitis labrusca and vitis berlandieri

Composition of the grape

The grape is made up of a stalk, skin, pips and pulp.


Stalk: when the stalk is used it imparts tannic acid to wine. It is mostly used in the making of
big, flavorsome red wine and is not used when making white and light wines. Tannin is a
necessary ingredient as it acts as a preservative and anti oxidant.
Skin: the outer skin or cuticle has a whitish downy or cloudy coat known as bloom.
Pips: crushed pips impart tannic acid, oils and water. If left uncrushed they do not contribute to
vinification.
Pulp: the flesh of the grape provides the juice, also known as must, which is essential for
fermentation. The must contains: 78%-80% water, 10-25% sugar, 5-6% acids

jinka University Page 23


Food and beverage service management-II

Yeast
• There are two main categories of yeast: Natural yeast and Cultured yeast.
• 1) Natural yeasts: Its present in naturally in grapes, They adhere a waxy substance
formed on the grape skin, and this dull whitish haze of yeasts and micro-organisms is
known as ‘ Bloom’.
• 2) Cultured yeasts
These are pedigree stains of natural yeasts cultivated in a laboratory. They are used
because they are efficient in converting sugar into alcohol. Ex: Saccharomyces cerevisiae,
Sacchraomyces carlsbergensis, Saccharomyces apiculatus, Saccharomyces ellipsoideus
 
Viticulture
Viticulture refers to the growing of grapes. The grape plant is a creeper which has to be grown
on sloping, rocky and chalky soil. Rocky soil is essential to prevent the retention of water.
Factors that influence the quality and final taste of wine
The same vine variety, grown in different regions and processed in different ways, will produce
wines of differing characteristics. The factors that affect the quality and final taste of wines are:
climate and microclimate
1. method of wine making – vinification
2. nature of the soil and subsoil
3.luck of the year – vintage
4. vine family and grape species
5.ageing and maturing process
6.method of cultivation – viticulture
7.method of shipping or transportation
8. composition of the grape(s)
9.storage temperature.
10. yeast and fermentation.
Wines may be identified as vintage wines. These are wines grown and made in a particular
year and this is stated on the bottle. Non-vintage wines are those where the bottle may contain
wines from different years. No date will be shown on the bottle.
4.1Grape varieties
Wine grape varieties represent only a small portion of the more than 600 kinds of grapes. Each
grape variety has its own unique combination of characteristics including color, size, skin
thickness, acidity, yield per vine and flavors. Only a few grape varieties are suited to produce
fine quality wine.
While many grape varieties are used to produce wines, only a few grapes have distinguished
themselves as being particularly suited for the production of fine wine. These 'noble grape
varieties' must still be matched with the right micro-climate and winemaking techniques in order
to live up to their potential.

4.2CLASSIFICATION OF WINES

1. Natural still wines:


This is the largest category. The alcoholic strength may be between 9% and 15% by volume.
The wines may be:
Red: produced by being fermented in contact with grape skins (from which the wine gets its
colour). Normally dry wines.
White: usually produced from white grapes, but the grape juice (must) is usually fermented
away from the skins. Normally dry to very sweet.
Rosé: can be made in three ways: from black grapes fermented on the skins for up to 48
hours; by mixing red and white wines together; or by pressing grapes so that some colour is
extracted. Rosé wine may be dry or semi-sweet. Rosé wines are called ‘blush’ wines in the
USA when made wholly from red grapes.
Sparkling wines: available from France, Spain (Cava), Italy (Prosecco), Germany (Sekt)
and many other countries.
Examples: Red and White Bordeaux, Burgundy, Italian, Rhine, Moselle, Alsatian, Spanish,
Portugal, Hungarian, Californian, and Australian table wines.
White wine: Chablis (Bordeaux), RedWine:Beaujolais(Burgundy) RoseWine:Rose Tavel(Rhone)
2. Sparkling wines:
Sparkling wines are those wines, which have a sparkle or a fizz. This is due to carbondioxide
produced during fermentation, which is not allowed to escape from the wine. Best results are
obtained by employing the “Methode Champenoise” for the sparkling wines. The Alcoholic
percentage is less than 14 per cent.

Examples: Champagne, Sparkling Saumur, Sparkling Vouvray, Sparkling Burgundy, Asti


Spumanti, Sparkling Mosselle.
Sweetness in sparkling wine
The dryness or sweetness of the wine is indicated on the label:
Extra brut – very dry
Brut – dry
Sec – medium dry
Demi-sec – medium sweet
Demi doux – sweeter

jinka University Page 26


Food and beverage service management-II

Doux – luscious.

3. Fortified Wines
These are produced by adding brandy to blended wines giving the wines a fairly high alcoholic
content of over 14% but not more than 24%.
Examples:
Sherry (from Spain) 15–18% – Fino (dry), Amontillado (medium), Oloroso (sweet).
Port (from Portugal) 18–22% – ruby, tawny, vintage character, late bottled vintage, vintage
Madeira (made on the Portuguese island of Madeira) 18% – Sercial (dry), Verdelho
(medium), Bual (sweet), Malmsey (very sweet).
Marsala (dark sweet wine from Marsala in Sicily) 18%.
Málaga (from Málaga, Andalusia, Spain) 18–20%.

4. Aromatized Wines:
These are blended wines with added flavorings and fortified with brandy to bring the strength up
to 18% alcohol.
Examples: Vermouth and Aperitif wines, cap corse and bitter.
Vermouth: it is made using a low quality wine base which is flavored with a variety of
botanicals such as wormwood, nutmeg, orange peel, cinnamom,bitter almonds.
Example: Dry: Martini, Chambery,Noilly Prat, Sweet: Martini rosso,noilly prat red,
Bitter: This aromatized wine has many varieties:
Campari: Its is a pink Italian aperitif, bitter sweet and slight flavor of orange peel.
Angostura: This is named after a town in Venezuela; it is brownish red in color and is used
mainly as a flavoring agent.
Amer Picon: This is a black and bitter aperitif from France.

Quality control for wines


The majority of the world’s wine-makers must ensure that their products conform to strict
quality regulations covering such aspects as the location of the vineyards, what variety of grape
is used, how the wine is made and how long it is matured.
France
Vin de table: this is ordinary table wine in the cheapest price range.
Vin de pays: the lowest official category recognised. Wines of medium quality and price,
made from certain grapes grown within a defined area. The area must be printed on the
label. A minimum alcohol content is specified.
Vin delimité de qualité supérieure (VDQS): a quality wine just below appellationcontrolled
standard. Area of production, grape varieties, minimum alcohol content,
cultivation (viticulture) and wine making (vinification) methods are specified.
Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AC or AOC): quality wine from approved areas. Grape
varieties and proportions, pruning and cultivation method, maximum yield per hectare,
vinification and minimum alcohol content are specified.

4.3 Making of Wine:

jinka University Page 27


Food and beverage service management-II

 Harvesting
 Grading
 Removal of stalks
 Crushing
 Sulphuring
 Fermentation
 Racking
 Fining/Filtering
 Blending
 Maturing
 Corking/bottling(2nd fermentation)
 Aging

Harvesting:
Grapes are plucked when the density of the bloom, or natural yeast on the skin taken
from a number of bunches is constant, so that the grape is fully ripened and has nothing more to
gain from the plant.
Grading:
Grapes are graded according to the quality.
Removal of stalks:
The ripened grapes are plucked from the stalks.
Crushing:
Collected the grapes together and crush immediately in order to avoid the oxidation, there
are three type of crushing,
1. Hydrolic press
2. Pneumatic press
3. Cylindrical press
There is one more method is called”ZAPOTAS DE PISAR”(Crush by the foot). The product
obtained from the crushing grapes is called (pulp) MUST. The coating on the skin grapes
consists of tiny yeast cells. This coating is known as BLOOM. The yeast causes fermentation
the grape juice.
Sulphuring:

Sluphur dioxide is added fairly early in the fermentation process to prevent air from
oxidizing the juice and converting the alcohol into vinegar.

Fermentation

jinka University Page 28


Food and beverage service management-II

Fermentation is the process of adding wine yeast to fresh grape juice to convert the
natural sugar in the grape to ethyl alcohol. In this process carbon dioxide is grow and released
making fermentation violent at first and then slow. The fermentation process takes 2 days to 2
weeks according to the tradition of the house. During this fermentation process temperature
should be maintained between 130c to 180c (640 To 770F).

Cellaring and racking:

After the fermentation complete the “running wine” is run off into casks for maturing.
The filled casks are put in the cellars for the wine to mature. This is called cellaring.

Then the wine must be separated from the dead yeasts which decompose and give an odd
flavor in the wine. The dead yeast settles at the bottom of the casks. The wine is carefully
pumped into another cask without disturbing the dead yeast leaving some wine at the bottom
called LESS.

Fining and Filtering:

This is a process of converting the cloudy wine into the clear fine wine. This may be done
with a gelatinous substance such as isinglass, egg white or ox blood, the wine may then passed
through fine filters. Then pumped into the refrigeration unit to stabilize the wine.

Blending:

It is a legitimate (lawful), natural and honest way of improving the quality of wine.
Blending is done of wine from the different vineyards and different years. This process ensures a
consistent quality.

Maturing:

This takes places naturally by allowing the wine to rest in oak barrels for one or two
years to gain maturity and pickup a soft soft and mellow character from the oak tree.

Corking/Bottling (2nd fermentation):

Bottles are cleaned and dried with hot air. Cool and dry weather is chosen to pump the
wine to bottle. Then bottles closed with cork, which is made by oak tree, in this process the cork
must be touch the wine and bottle because of breath. Otherwise the cork will dry and shrunk.
This is called as second fermentation. Finally cork will be sealed with Spanish wax (agrafe).

Aging:

Wine is aged in bottles for 3-4 years.

4.4 TASTING OF WINE

jinka University Page 29


Food and beverage service management-II

Going to a wine tasting can be a very fun and enjoyable experience.

1. Some wine tastings offer you bottled water. Use this to rinse out your mouth between tastings
so your palate is clean for the next wine.

2. There is often unsalted and unflavored crackers and bread to help palate cleansing as well.

3. You should always handle the wine glass by the stem. This helps avoid heating the wine with
the warmth of your hands, thus altering the taste.

4. wine tasting, the glasses should always be clear so you can get a good look at the wine.

5. The tables may also be covered with white tablecloths to help you see the wine’s color clearly.

6. Do not let the wine name full you. For example, white wines are not white in color. They may
range from yellow to green to brown. Red wines range in color from pale red to a deep brownish
red and often become lighter with age. Sometimes the color of a wine may indicate age or flavor.
You may be able to tell the age of a red wine by doing a rim test.

7. Tilt the glass slightly towards the rim of the wine glass and look at the wine. If the color of the
red wine is more of a purple, it is usually a younger wine. If the color of the red wine is brown, it
is an older wine.

8. Another thing you may have seen people do before they taste wine is swirl it slightly in the
glass. This is to help open up the wine’s flavor. Remember that the wine may have been in a
bottle anywhere from six months to many, many years. When someone swirls a wine, it helps
release the flavors. Just like when you’re cooking at home and stir the food to help blend the
flavors.

9. This is the next step in the tasting process. You have probably seen people smell wine before
and wondered why they did it. Smell plays a very important part in what we taste. Researchers
have determined that perhaps as much as 75% of what we taste is actually based on what we
smell first. You can smell your wine one of two ways: taking a small whiff to get an idea of how
the wine smells, then a deeper whiff or take one deep whiff. After smelling the wine, take a
minute to think about the smell. You do not want to immediately taste it after smelling but give
yourself time to explore exactly what you smelled.

10. Finally, you will need to know is how to taste the wine properly. Your tongue has taste buds
in both the front and back. These taste buds can detect bitter, salty, sweet, and sour flavors, but
some are more sensitive than others are. There are three steps in tasting a wine: the first
impression, the taste, and the aftertaste. The first impression happens when you take your first
drink and the wine actually hits your taste buds. It should awaken your sense to the wine. After
taking the first drink, you should swish the wine around your mouth for a few seconds to let all
your taste buds discover the full flavor of the wine. Think about what the wine tastes like. Is it

jinka University Page 30


Food and beverage service management-II

light or heavy? Is the smooth or harsh? The aftertaste is the sensation that remains in your mouth
after swallowing the wine. How long did it last and was it pleasant.

4.5 Naming Of Wine


Mostly wines get their names in one of two different ways: they are either named for their grape
variety (the grape that was used to make the wine) or they are named for the region of the
world in which the wine was made.

Depending on where in the world the wine you have purchased was made, the practices of that
location will determine whether or not they name the wine after the grape variety or the region.
For most wines, this determination is made depending on whether the wine was made in the New
World or the Old World.

Old World wines are usually named after the region where they were grown, while New World
wines are usually named for the sole or principal grape in the bottle!

New World Wine Names

In the majority of wine regions of the New World, the winemakers choose to name their wines
after the sole or principal grape varietal that has gone into creating the beverage. In simpler
terms, this means the wine is called by the grape’s name, so for example if Cabernet Sauvignon
grapes were used to make the wine, the wine is called Cabernet Sauvignon. This would even be
true if the wine wasn’t made with 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and instead the winemaker
chose to use only 70 percent, selecting other grapes for the remaining 30 percent. Because
Cabernet Sauvignon is still in the majority, most New World winemakers would still call the
wine Cabernet Sauvignon.

Normal items that appear on the label:

1. Penfolds - This is the Producer of the wine


2. Grape Varietals - In this case it is a blend, and the percentages of each must be
shown.

jinka University Page 31


Food and beverage service management-II

3. Percentages - Percentages of each Varietal Grape included in the blend.


4. Vintage 1997 - The year the grapes were harvested.
5. Clare Valley - The wine growing district
Old World Wine Names

In wines that are made in the Old World, these wines generally receive the name of the region
from which the wine was made. For example, while a wine made in the Bordeaux region of
France might contain 70 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, giving it the name Cabernet Sauvignon in
the New World, because the wine was made in the Old World it is called Bordeaux.

The reason wineries from the Old World name their wines after regions is because Old World
winemakers tend to feel that the place where the wine was made has as much, if not more, to do
with how the wine will taste as grapes.

1. Valpolicella - The appellation


2. Dry Red Wine - Type of wine
3. Denominazione di Origine Controllata - Italian equivalent of the French AOC
controls the production and labeling of wine in Italy
4. Folonari - This is the Producer of the wine

4.6 SELLING WINE

The key to up selling wine is to find the right wine to fulfill or exceed the customers’
expectations. If the customers already know which wine they want to order, do not try to up sell
them on something else unless they seem hesitant or unsure. Remember, the best opportunity for
up selling wine is when the customer asks for a suggestion.

Follow these tips for successful upselling of wine:

1. Offer wine.

jinka University Page 32


Food and beverage service management-II

Wine should be offered after customers have had a few minutes to look at the menu. That way,
the patrons have enough time to think about their meal choice, which may guide them in their
wine selection.

2. Ask about red or white.

If the customers want wine, often they will ask the server for a suggestion. If they do, first ask
the customers if they have a preference of red or white wine. If they do not have a preference,
you can freely suggest either kind of wine. If members of the party disagree on whether they
want red or white, you can always suggest a rosé as a compromise.

3. Ask about grape type.

Ask the customers if they have a preference of wine- or grape-type. If they do, simply
recommend a quality wine of that type, starting from the more expensive range and suggesting
more economical options if they seem hesitant or mention the high price.

4. Match wine to food.

Ask the customers if they know what they are going to order for their meal (for example, steak,
or a red-sauce pasta dish). If they have not decided what to order but are ready for wine, suggest
Chianti, pinot noir, sparkling white, trebbiano or a good chardonnay, since these are some of the
most versatile wines that pair well with a variety of foods. If the customers know what they are
going to order, recommend a quality wine that would be a good pairing, using suggestions from
our general guidelines or wine pairing chart.

5. Determine price range.

If the customer seems hesitant about your wine suggestion, it could be because they are looking
for a lower price. Always start with the more expensive suggestions you might have, and move
down from there while gauging the customers’ response.

6. Offer dessert wines.

When the customers are at the end of their meal, ask if they would like a half-bottle of dessert
wine, which goes well with sweet foods. If the customers are too full for dessert, you can still up
sell them on wine. A sweet wine can be its own dessert.

Wine and food harmony

Wine needs the dimension of food to bring out its true flavours. The partnership of wine and
food depends principally on four factors:
jinka University Page 33
Food and beverage service management-II

 The style of wine


 The style of food
 The personal preference of the diner
 The financial constrictions
Complications set in when

 Other people’s tastes have to be considered;


 The choice has to be appropriate to suit a particular occasion.
A further complication arises from the knowledge that some foods are the enemies of wine.
Foods unkind to wine are those with a high vinegar or sulphur content and those with strong
acidity or overpowering hot spicy flavours.

 Horsdoeuvre, globe artichoke, avocado when served with vinaigrette dressing;


 Smoked mackerel, kippers, anchovies;
 Brined or pickled fish
 Lamb in mint sauce
 Very hot curries and chilies;
 Grape fruit, tart apples, oranges, lemons;
 My egg dishes because their sulphur content and their characteristic coating of the mouth
neutralizes the taste of wine ;
 Chocolate, again because its mouth- coating effect reduces to an almost imperceptible
states the flavour of wine.
However most wine, and food have a beneficial effect on each other. The general principles, still
broadly valid are that:

 White wine should be served with white meat, fowl and fish;
 Red wine should be served with red meat, game and cheese;
 Sweet white wine should be served with sweets, puddings and dessert.
Besides the important matters of food, wine, personal preference and financial constraints, the
following factors should be considered:

 Time of day- lunch or dinner;


 Time of year- summer or winter;
 The weather- dull, cold, bright, warm, hot, humid;
 Mood- bad, good, celebratory, experimental;
 Occasion- formal, cozy, business;
 Theme of occasion- re-union, birthday;
 Style of service- sit-down meal, buffet, carvery;
 Style of restaurant- Italian, Greek, French;
 Ambience of occasion and location;
 Previous experience of your party and the party mix;
 The logical progression of the wines during the meal:
 Dry wine before sweet wine
 Light wine before heavy wine

jinka University Page 34


Food and beverage service management-II

 Young wine before old wine


 Simple wine before more complex wine
 White wine before red wine, except in the case of sweet white wine
 Good wine before better wine
