PHYSIOLOGY OF ALCOHOL
ETHANOL an alcohol present in an alcoholic beverage and it is a form of drug known as tranquilizer.

What is considered as one drink or the equivalent of one drink?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yqe3XAfBvNM
One drink is equals to a 12 oz of beer, 5 oz of wine or 1 ½ oz of 80-proof liquor (distilled spirit)
In metric measurement. One drink is a 360 ml or one bottle of beer, 150 ml of wine or 45 ml of 80-proof
liquor (distilled spirit)

Type of drink Avg. Alcohol Content Calculation Amount of pure


Alcohol
12 oz beer 5% 12 oz x 0.05 0.6 oz
5 oz wine 12% 5 oz x .12 0.6 oz
1 ½ oz 80proof liquor 40% 1. 5 oz x .40 0.6 oz
360ml beer 5% 360ml x .05 18 ml
150 ml wine 12% 150 ml x .12 18 ml
45 ml 80proof liquor 40% 45 ml x .40 18ml
They all contain 0.6 oz or 18ml of pure alcohol

NOTE: if you drink a mixed drink that contains a 3 oz of liquor, that is not considered one drink, it is
considered two drinks because it contains twice the amount of alcohol.

What do we mean by proof?


Alcohol proof is the amount of alcohol in the liquor or liqueur. It is usually twice the percentage of
alcohol by volume. Example: 80 proof means 40% alcohol by volume, 100proof is 50%. 151proof is
75.5% or 1 proof is equal to 0.5 alcohol by volume.

Do mixing different kinds of drinks make a person get more drunk?


No, it doesn’t. The alcohol in the drinks makes a person drunk not the different kinds.

Will some drinks or mixes can get you drunk faster than others?

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

Mixed drinks that contain carbonated beverages will get a person drunk faster than mixed drinks that
don’t have any carbon dioxide. Example: Gin and sprite will get you drunk faster than a screw driver.
NOTE: Carbon dioxide speeds up the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream.

Does drinking a lot of coffee or taking a very cold shower will help you sober up quickly?
No, they won’t. The only thing that will help you sober is “time”. Coffee and a cold shower might help
you stay awake, but they won’t help you sober up.

Does eating a lot of food before drinking help keeps a person from getting drunk?
No, it will not. Eating before drinking slows down the absorption of alcohol into your bloodstream. You
well get drunk but it will take a little bit longer.

How long will alcohol stay in your system?


It all depends on how much alcohol you take and how fast; it also depends on other factors like weight
and sex and the physical condition.

Can Alcohol be deadly?


Alcohol is considered as a poison if taken in too much dosage. If you drink too much and too fast, it can
kill you. Drink in moderation.

Things to keep in mind if you are going to have a drinking session:


a. Eat something before you start drinking. If you drink beer, make sure you have a half full
stomach and if spirits, at least more than half full for you to enjoy drinking.

Robusta – also known as Canephora and Conillon, this is a lower grade of coffee, it has a more astringent
flavor and contains a higher amount of caffeine.

HISTORY
Legend has it that coffee was discovered by an Ethiopian goat herder named KALDi. One day, he noticed
his goat frolicking around in an unusual spirited manner. He observed that they were also eating the
berries of a nearby shrub. Not being one to be left out of the fun, he decided to try the berries himself. He
was energized and pleased with the effects of the cherries had on him. He told his friends and soon word
spread throughout the region

Prior to 1000 A.D. Members of the Galla tribe in Ethiopia noticed that they got energy boost when they
ate a certain berry, ground up and mixed with animal fat.
1000 A.D. arab traders brought coffee back to their homeland and cultivated the plant for the first time on
plantations. They also began to boil the beans, creating a drink they call “qahwa” literally means that will
prevent sleep.
1453 coffee was introduced to Constantinople by Ottoman Turks. The world’s first coffee shop, Kiva Han,
opened there in 1475. Turkish law made it legal for a woman to divorce her husband if he failed to
provide her with her daily quota of coffee.
1600 Coffee, introduced to the West by Italian traders.
1607 Captain John Smith helped found the colony of Virginia at Jamestown. It was believed that he
introduced coffee to North America.
1645 First coffeehouse was opened in Italy
1652 First coffeehouse was opened in England
1672 First coffeehouse was opened in Paris
1901 the first soluble “instant” coffee was invented by Japanese-American chemist Satori Kato of
Chicago.
1903 German coffee importer Ludwig Roselius turned a batch of ruines coffee beans over to researchers,
who perfercted the process of removing caffeine from the beans without destroying the flavor. He
marketed it under the brand name “Sanka”. Sanka was introduced to the United State in 1923.
1906 George Constant Washington, an English Chemist living in Guatemala, created the first mass-
producing coffee
1938 Nestle developed Nescafe and introduced in to Switzerland
1940 The US imported about 70% of the world’s coffee crops.
1946 in Italy, Achilles Gaggia perfected his espresso machine. Cappuccino was named for the
resemblance of its color to the robes of the monks of the Capuchin order.
1971 Starbucks opened its first store in Seattle’s Pike Place public market, creating a frenzy over fresh-
roasted whole bean coffee.

TYPES OF COFFEE BEANS


First of all, coffee beans are not actually beans, but the seed of a cherry from a coffee is true. This
tree grows in subtropical climates from sea level to around
6000 ft.
Figure 1. structure of berry and bean:
1. Center cut
2. Bean (endosperm)
3. Silver skin (testa, epidermis)
4. Parchment (hull, endorcarp)
5. Pectin layer
6. Pulp (endosperm)
7. Outer skin (pericarp, exocarp)

HARVESTING COFFEE BEANS


Coffee is a very labor intensive commodity. The cherries ripen at different times so they must be picked
by hands. Since there are about 4000 coffee beans in a pound, 2000 cherries must be handpicked (there
are two beans per cherry). The average coffee tree will produce only about 2 pounds of roasted coffee per
year

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

Next the fruit of the cherry needs to be removed from the seeds. This is accomplished by either of two
ways:
1. The Dry process is to let the cherries dry out in the sun or in dryers and then use machines to
strip the dried fruit off of the coffee beans.
2. The wet process uses a soaking method to make the fruit come off and to produce coffee which
is referred to as washed coffee.

These green coffee beans are then sent to be dried. After drying, they are sorted by size and graded
usually by hand. Then they are bagged and sent to the roasters. The beans remain green until roasted.
It is imported to note that the green coffee stays fresh for a very long time. When freshness is talked about
in coffee, it means from date that the green beans have been roasted. There are two main species of
Coffee.

1.ROBUSTA/CANEPHORA
Robusta coffee is a lower grade of coffee that is typically grown at lower elevations. It has more
of an astringent flavor and contains a higher amount of caffeine.
The robusta trees are easier to grow and maintain. They are also more disease resistant and
produce a higher yield. This type of coffee is typically used to achieve lower price.

2.ARABICA
Arabica coffee is the superior grade of coffee that most people usually refer to as the gourmet
coffee. They contain half the caffeine of robusta and have more desirable flavors and aromatic properties.
Much of the coffee grown worldwide is of the Arabica species, but only the fraction meets
standard set by the Specialty Coffee Association of America.

Other Varieties of Coffee

3.EXCELSA – is a breed of coffee that has a high resistance to diseases and dryness that plagued other
coffee varieties. It has a high yield and aged beans give coffee with odorous and pleasant taste like langka
or jackfruit and is sometimes confused with the baraco coffee. This variety also grow in lower elevations
in the Philippines, particularly in the areas of Cavite where the locals prefer it as a blender for their
robutsa and baraco varieties.
4.LIBERICA/KAPENG BARAKO – has bigger berries. It is relative from West Africa. Liberian Coffee
accounts for around 1% of commercially grown coffee. Taste and appearance of the beans and berries is
similar to the more common coffee, although beans are often larger but contain a tough, difficult to shell
skin, hindering their commercial uses.

COFFEE ROASTING
Coffee roasting is the art and science of roasting the green coffee at approximately 400 degree.
Although sounding simple, roasting and blending are two of the most important aspects of creating a great
gourmet coffee
The roasting process caramelizes the sugars and carbohydrates in the beans creating an oil-like
substance which gives the coffee its flavor and aroma. the longer the coffee is roasted, the darker and
more oily its appearance becomes.

ROASTING EQUIPMENTS
The two most common types of coffee roasting equipment are the :
1. Drum type machine – it roast the coffee beans as it is tumbled in a rotating drum
2. Hot air roaster – also known as the fluid bed roaster, roasts the coffee as it tumbles on a current
of hot air.
Both machines keep the coffee moving to maintain a consistent and even roast.

It is a generic term for all alcoholic beverages that are fermented and brewed from malted barley, hops,
water and yeast.

HISTORY

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

 Existed 7000 years ago, as recorded in the written history of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia.
 Beer was formerly known as Ale..
 3rd Century: beer was known as KIU in China.
 Middle Ages: Brewing was done in the home by Women known as BREWESTERS.
 Feb 13, 1602: Dr. Alexander Nowell, father of bottled beer, died. He was the first to put ale to a
glass bottle with a cork.
 1622: Peter Minuit established the first brewery named NEW AMSTERDAM.
 First beer brewery in the U.S. opened in Manhattan in 1623.
 1638: William Penn operated the first brewery.
 1762: Samuel Fraunces founded the first ever tavern named Fraunces Tavern.
 1876: Louis Pasteur discovered the wild yeast that caused the bas fermentation in beer.
 1935: Federal Law prohibited brewers from listing alcohol content or using words that insinuate a
product’s strength. The law was repealed in 1993.
 First October fest was held in Munich Germany.
 Beer is usually stored in dark glass bottles because they found that ultraviolet rays convert the
hop oil into bad smelling chemicals.

BEER INGREDIENTS
The basic Ingredients of beer are:
1. WATER – beer is composed mostly of water (90%). The mineral components of water are
important to beer because minerals in the water influence the character of beer made from it.
2. CEREAL GRAINS: malted barley – malted barley is the most common grain used to make beer.
Wheat, rye and oatmeal are also used to make unique types.
3. HOPS – the flowers of the hop vine is used as a flavoring and preservative agent in most types of
beer produced today. It has bitterness that balances the sweetness of the malt. Its aromas and
flavors are: floral, citrus and herbal
4. YEAST – it is the microorganism that is responsible for fermentation in beer. Yeast turns the
sugar extracted from grains into alcohol and carbon dioxide and thereby turns wort into beer.

Types :
a. Ale Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)
b. Lager Yeast (Saccharomyces uvarum)

5. SECONDARY STARCH SOURCE: adjuncts


a. Corn - is commonly used in the production of American-style light lagers, particularly
Malt Liquor. Corn is generally turned into corn syrup prior to brewing. Like rice, corn is
cheaper than barley, so it is used to lower the cost of producing beer.
b. Wheat - it is usually used in German and American wheat beers. Wheat lightens the
body and provides a tart flavor. Wheat beers are often served with fruit syrups and or slices of
lemon in Germany. Wheat beer has a finer and longer head or foam.
c. Rice - it is sometimes used in the production of lagers. Rice does not usually affect the
flavor of beers but can be used to lighten the body and mouth-feel, or to increase alcohol
content or to add a little sweetness in the beer.
d. Oats -are usually used in producing Oatmeal Stout, oats provide a silky mouthfeel and
a mild flavor..
e. Rye - rye provides a spicy flavor to beer and dramatically increases head or foam.
6. FLAVORINGS –
a. Sugar/Honey - sweeteners such as maple syrup, honey and molasses are common. In
honey beer, the honey supplies only a portion of the sugars converted during fermentation
and is used primarily for flavor.
b. Herbs and Spices - a number of traditional beer styles are brewed with spices. Ex: Belgian
wheat beer with coriander, Finnish sahti with Juniper berries.

BEER MAKING PROCESS


1. MALTING
a. Steeping- the process of soaking the grains in water prior to germinating
b. Germinating-the soaked grains will be allowed to sprout.
c. Kilning -the process of drying and roasting the grains before milling.
2. MILLING - the process of grinding the malted barley or grains.
3. MASHING - it is the manipulation of the temperature of a mixture of water and a starch
source (known as mash) in order to convert starches to fermented sugars

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

4. SPARGING OR LAUTERING - the extraction of fermentable liquid, known as wort, from the
mash. During sparging the mash is in a vessel known as a lauter-tun, which has a porous barrier
through which only wort but not grain can pass.
5. BOILING AND BREWING - boiling I sterilizing the wort and increases the concentration of
sugar in the wort. In brewing, hops are added during boiling of wort in order to extract bitterness,
flavor and aroma.
6. FERMENTATION - the yeast breaks down sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
 In this stage, the wort becomes beer.
 Fermentation may take a week to months depending on the type of yeast and strength of
the beer produced.
TYPES OF FERMENTATION PROCESS:
1. TOP FERMENTATION – the yeast residues float at the top of fermented beer after
fermentation. It is usually done in higher or warm temperature, used to produce ales.
2. BOTTOM/COLD FERMENTATION – after fermentation, the yeast settles down
at the bottom of fermentation tank. Usually, this is done in lower temperature. This
type of fermentation is used in producing lager beers. The common type of beer in
the Philippines.

7. MATURATION- the fermented beer will be allowed to rest to mellow its taste.
8. FILTRATION/CLARIFYING - the process of removing the sediments that ahs developed
during fermentation.
9. PACKAGING/BOTTLING/CANNING- beer will now be placed in its final container for
delivery and consumption.
10. PASTEURIZATION -the process of heating the beer in order to prolong the shelf life of the
beer.

ALE – it is a type of beer that is usually brewed using only top-fermenting yeasts, and is typically
fermented at higher temperature (15-23degree C, 60-75degree F). Ale is a type of beer brewed from
malted barley using a warm fermentation with a strain of brewers' yeast. Compared to lager yeasts, ale
yeast ferments more quickly, and often produces a sweeter, fuller-bodied and fruitier taste. Ale has often
now come to mean a bitter-tasting barley beverage fermented at room temperature. It has a typically
sweeter, fuller body than lagers.

Types of Ales:

Brown Ale – it is a beer made with dark brown malt. The term brown beer was first used by
London brewers in the late 1600s to describe their products, such as mild ale.

a. Pale Ale – a term used to describe a variety of beers which use ale yeast and predominantly pale
malts.

Types of Pale Ale:

a. Altbier (meaning old beer, from Germany, refers to the pre-lager brewing method of using

b. American(style of American beer based at least originally on beers of the British Pale Ale)
c. English Bitter(used coke in roasting malt)
d. India Pale Ale(characterized as a sparkling pale ale with a slightly higher level of alcohol
and hops than a typical pale ale.)
e. Saison(pale ale brewed in Wallonia, the French-speaking zone in Belgium)
f. Scotch Ale

b. Dark Ale – are brewed using dark-roasted barley malts.

Types:

1. Porter – dark ale with lighter flavor


2. Stout – style of dark beer made using roasted malts or roast barley.

Types of Stout:

a. Chocolate Stout (noticeable dark chocolate flavor)


b. Coffee Stout(darkest roast, bitter coffee flavor)

d. Imperial Stout/Russian Imperial Stout(strong dark beer, with high alcohol content 9-
10%)
e. Milk Stout(also called sweet stout or cream stout, contains lactose, sweet with a body.)
f. Oatmeal Stout(a stout with a proportion of oats normally a maximum of 5% added
during brewing)
g. Oyster Stout(oyster was common during 1700 and served in pubs and taverns usually
with stout.)

c. Kolsch – local beer specialty, brewed in Cologne, Germany. It is a clear beer with a bright straw
yellow hue, and it has a prominent, but not extreme hoppiness.

Smoothies and Mocktails
Objective:
Define and differentiate smoothies and mocktails;
Learn the development of mocktails;
Learn the ingredients used in preparing mocktails and smoothies and
Learn the methods of preparing and serving mocktails and smoothies.

DEFINITION
Smoothies – these are blended non-alcoholic mixed drinks made up pf liquid (usually milk) fresh
fruits or vegetables, fruit or vegetable juices, syrups and other ingredients. Before and even today it
is use as a dietary supplement because of its nutritional content.

Mocktails – these are well iced mixed drinks made up of non-alcoholic beverages primarily juices as
base, syrups and some fresh fruits. It is also known as virgin cocktails.

HISTORY

For hundreds of years, Mediterranean and Eastern cultures were already enjoying pure
fruit drinks. South America and Latin America were also already enjoying fruit-based drinks,
which were a staple in their daily diets.

The very concept of the smoothie we know today was accidentally created by a man
called Julius Freed in the 1920s. He suffered from a sensitive stomach, and he found that a fresh
orange juice that’s more bubbly and less acidic was something that he could enjoy. So he
created Orange Julius, which is today one of the longest-running fruit drink makers in the world.
As of 1987, Orange Julius is a subsidiary of Dairy Queen, which is a subsidiary of Berkshire
Hathaway.

The origin of the smoothie is closely tied to the origin of the blender. People were not
really interested in smoothies before the blender – it was this device that made smoothies widely
available to the masses.

The first blender was made by a Polish-American chemist, Stephen Poplawski, with his
Stevens Electric Company in 1919. However, it was a simple drink mixer, and Fred Waring

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

made the first real blender in 1937. The Waring Blendor (and no, that is not a spelling error)
popularized the smoothie in the United States during the 1940s. Other blenders quickly followed,
and they further spread the popularity of the drink. It’s important to mention the fairly
recent Vita-Mix, a blender that genuinely revolutionized the smoothie industry. It was made to
be powerful enough to grind all the ingredients (even raw vegetables and nuts) into a smooth
paste, making it perfect for making smoothies.

Initially, the first smoothies were primarily made of fruits, fruit juice, and ice. The drink
first targeted beach goers who wanted something refreshing to quench their thirst.

During the 1960s and 1970s in the United States, there was a rebirth in macrobiotic
vegetarianism. This was when Flower Power and Hippies were on the rise. People were starting
to go back to their roots, starting to be at one with nature. They started going vegan, turning
towards organic and natural products. People also started paying more attention to eating right
and getting healthy.

Jack LaLanne, an American fitness and nutrition expert and motivational speaker, also
had a significant influence in popularizing smoothies and other healthy juices. He is often
dubbed as the Godfather of Fitness, which should help you understand how influential he was in
the 50s, 60s, and 70s. He started promoting health and fitness before celebrities who are today
well-known as the leading promoters. He was also the first person in the U.S. to open a gym and
health food store. What’s more, he was the first to discover the weight loss meal replacement
drink and created several smoothie recipes that many still use to this day

During these two decades, health food stores started popping up all over the country.
These stores then started selling blended fruit drinks. They were catering to what their customers
were demanding.

DEFINITIONS OF TODAY’S JUICE AND SMOOTHIE BARS


Juice Bars – these are retail quick-service restaurant operation that specializes in fruit smoothies and
fresh squeezed juice. Products in this category are positioned as a meal replacement or meal enhancement
to healthy snacks and or meals served in the store.

Smoothie Stores – this are retail quick-service restaurants that specializes in fruit juice smoothies and no
fresh-squeezed juice. Products in this category are primarily positioned as a meal replacement and or a
dessert.

Frozen Dessert stores – these are retail ice cream and or frozen yogurt stores which specializes in frozen
desserts. Fruit juice smoothies served in this category is positioned primarily as a dessert offering.

Smoothie Mixes or Starter Bases – these are wholesale products offered mainly to existing food service
operations that wish to diversify menu offering to include fruit juice smoothie products. These products
are positioned as a meal enhancement and or as an after meal dessert. Example of those are used by local
stores such as Zagu and other stores.

WINES AND COGNAC LABELS

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

Wines and cognac label contain important information. Wine bottles can have labels in up to
three places – on the front of the bottle, on the back of the bottle, and on the neck of the bottle.
1. Name of the wine
2. Name of the bottle
3. Year, if it is vintage

KINDS OF WINE BOTTLES


1. Bordeaux and Italian Wines
2. Burgundy and Piedmont Wines
3. Moselle and Alsace wines(Green Bottles), Rhine Wines (Brown Bottle)
4. Franconian Wines (Germany) and Mateus Rose (Portugal)
5. Chianti Wines
6. Champagne and Sparkling wines

EVALUATION OF WINES
The quality of wine is determined trough its TASTE, COLOR, APPEARANCE and BODY.
I. TASTE
a. Sweet – taste is likened to a solution of water mixed with a teaspoon of sugar.
b. Tart - taste is likened to a solution of lemon juice and water.
c. Bitter - taste is likened to a solution of weak coffee.
d. Salty - taste is likened to a solution of salt and water.
II. COLOR
There are three basic colors of wines:
a. Red – called rouge when range from anywhere from purple to dark red to burglary.
b. White – calledblanc in a varying clarity depending in the grape variety and the aging
process.
c. Pink – called rose, ranging from pink , salmon
III. APPEARANCE
The appearance is judged by looking at the wine through the light. A brilliant wine reflects
light and also sparkles. It is free from floating particles. On the other hand, a dull wine has
floating particles.
IV. BODY of the WINE
Through the body of the wine, one can measure its “wateriness”. The body is usually
measured by twirling it around the glass and seeing how long it takes to bring down the wine that
rises on the glass.
a. Full Bodied Wine – heavy robust and not watery. The wine also breaks into legs as they
come down the sides of the glass.
b. Light Bodied Wine – not heavy. This wine do not cling to the sides of the glass when
twirled around.

Definition of Terms

Brix. Refers to the measure of sugar in wine.


Endroit. Refers to a French word which means “region or place” where the wine came from.
Methods Champeonoise. It is a method of making wine.
Phylloxera. It is a grape louse that caused the destruction of almost all vineyard in Europe.
Tannin. Refers to a substance found in skins of grapes or oak barrels that acts as preservative.
Tastevin. It refers to a bar tool used in wine service. This silver tasting cups are common in wine
presentation.
Vinification. It refers to the actual wine making process.
Vintage. It refers to the year when the grapes are picked for wine production
Viticulture. It refers to the farming of the vineyard.
.

Quality of the Wine


A. Color
 Red –when juice is fermented together with the skin and the seed, this also imparts a
quality known as Tannin- it comes from seeds and skin which makes red wine taste little
dark tea.
 White-also fermented with seeds and skins
 Pink- fermented red grapes, skins, seeds and juice but only for a short time.
B. Appearance

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

 Brilliant-reflects light and sparkles, it is free from floating particles.


 Dull-has floating particles and looks slightly cloudy which does not reflects light.
C. Odor or Nose
 Pronounced-easily detected odor
 Moderate-detected odor
 Delicate/Subtle-an obscure odor difficult to taste.

Two factors in Choosing Wine


A. Vintage- refers to the year when the grapes are harvested for the production of wine. Wine
produced during such vintage is usually the most expensive.
B. Endroit-a French word meaning to say “region or place” where the wine came from. Wine from
Europe particularly in Italy, Germany usually command higher prices than those grown in
California.

Factors that Affect the Quality of Wine:


A. The Climate-the ideal temperature ranges from 57-59F to 66F, too much rain can harm the
grapes, the weather is a constant worry.
B. Soil Condition-vineyard added that the poorer the soil, the better the wine. A vine needs a very
well drained soil, warm soil like gravel, sand and loam retain heat which speeds up the ripening
of the grapes.
C. Topography Aspects-slopes that have concentrated sunlight and better drainage, slopes that
faces south in the north hemisphere receives more sun, altitude affects temperature too, grapes
tale longer time to ripen in higher, cooler vineyard.

Qualities of Wine Part II


A. Balance, Weight and Body
 Ideally acid, alcohol, fruit and tannins should be balanced. Not enough acidity makes a
wine dull (flat or short), too much makes it sharp and raw, an excess of tannin makes a
wine bitter but the right amount of both acidity and tannins means the fruit is refreshing
and the flavor linger.
 Weight refers to the alcohol content of the wine
 Body refers to the mixture of fruitiness and alcohol, the feel in your mouth
-Full Bodied wine is alcoholic and fruity
-Light Bodied wine is crisp with low alcohol content.
B. Length/Long refers to the wine flavor which lingers in the mouth after swallowing, the intensity
and persistence of flavor reflects the quality of the wine.
C. Aftertaste is the aroma and flavor that stay in the mouth after the wine has been swallowed

Storing Wine
A naturally constant environment is crucial. Fluctuations in temperature are harmful. Wine bottles
should be stored horizontally and cases stacked on their sides, ensuring the corks remain moist and thus
fully swollen and airtight. If a bottle is stored vertically, its cork eventually dries out and shrinks, this
exposes wine to air and causes it to oxidize and goes off. Prior to drinking, stand the bottle upright to
allow any sediment to settle.

Wine Description
 Color shows attractive quality of the wine
 Aroma is the smell of grapes in the wine
 Bouquet is the smell of the wine
 Acidity is the amount of acid in the wine
 Sweet results from the natural grape sugars
 Flavor is intensity in the wine taste
 Sour results from various organic acids
 Bitter taste results from tannin in the wine
 Body is how the wine feels in the mouth
 Complexity is the various parts that makes a wine

How to Store Wine:


 A wine should always be stored laying down, preferably in dark room, furthermore around 54F.

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

 The wine should never be exposed to rapid temperature changes. This results in the wine being
ruined. If the wine is destroyed from temperature changes, this can often be detected by looking
at the cork. Here you can see small crystals have adhered underneath the cork.
 The cork should be moist ¾ through if it has been stored properly.
 When the cork is totally dry or moist all the way through, it is an indication that something could
be wrong with the wine.
NOTE: Please remember that many wines have been stored up to decades, such a wine has not
been exposed to air for a long period of time. One should breathe for 6 to 10 hours before
drinking.

How to Taste Wine


Tasting wine is something you need to be familiar with when working in the dining room. To
make it simple, wine tasting can be broken down into 5 basic steps: see, swirl, smell, savor and swallow.
1. SEE – the best way to get an idea of the color of the wine is to get a white background (a napkin
or a white table cloth). Hold the glass of wine in front of it. The range of colors that you may see
depends on whether you taste a white or red wine. Here are the colors of both:

WHITE WINE
 Pale yellow green
 Straw yellow
 Yellow gold
 Gold
 Old Gold
 Gold brown
 Brown
RED WINE
 Purple
 Ruby
 Red
 Brick Red
 Red Brown
 Garnet
NOTE: White wine gain color as they get older. Red wine on the other hand loses color. Here some of
the reasons why a white wine may have more color:
a. It is older
b. Different grape varieties gives different color, ex: Chardonnay usually gives off deeper color
than Riesling
c. The wine was aged in wood
2. SWIRL – the wine is swirled to allow oxygen to get into it. This means that swirling releases
esters and aldehydes which are combined with oxygen to yield the bouquet of the wine. In other
words, swirling aerates the wine and gives you the bouquet.
3. SMELL – the “nose” is the word that wine taster use to describe the bouquet and aroma of the
wine. There are hundreds of words to describe the nose of the wine. Here are some of the words
used: bitter,bouquet,corky, delicate,earthy,fresh, grapey,green, metallic, nutty, tart,vanilla,
4. SAVOR – tasting is something you do with your taste buds. You can perceive only four tastes:
sweet, sour, bitter and salty.
Sweetness can be found on the tip of the tongue.
Acidity can be found at the sides of the tongue and cheek area. It is the most common
present in white wine.
Tannin is found at the middle of the tongue. It usually exists in red wines or wood aged
white wines.
Fruity and Varietal Characters can be found at the middle of the tongue.
NOTE: the whole procedure: the color, the swirling, the nose and the taste happens within in 3
seconds.
5. SWALLOW – after you have tasted the wine, sit back for a few moments and savor it. Think
about what you have experienced and ask yourself the following questions to help you focus on
your impressions:
Was the Wine:
 Light, medium or full bodied?

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

 For white wine: how was the acidity? very little, just right or too much?
 For red wine: is the tannin in the wine too strong or astringent? Is it pleasing? Or is it
missing?
 How long did the aftertaste last?
 Is the wine worth the price of your taste?
 What food would this wine complement best?

OPENING STILL WINES


1. Present the bottle to the person who ordered it, cradling it in a serviette so the entire label is
visible and can be read.
2. Place the bottle on a flat surface and remove the foil covering the cork. Cut around the front of
the neck of the bottle just below the second lip.
3. Cut the foil around the back of the neck just below the second lip.
4. Peel away the top of the foil, lifting it away using the blade from the corkscrew and holding the
neck of the bottle with the left hand. The server should place the cut foil in his or her pocket.
5. Insert the corkscrew slightly off center at a slight angle and straighten it up with one or two turns.
The corkscrew is turned until only one notch of spiral is left above the cork.
6. Tilt the corkscrew so that the notch in the lever will rest on the lip of the bottle. Hold it In place
with the index finger while bracing the neck of the bottle.
7. Pull the corkscrew straight up while continuing to hold the lever in place and brace the neck of
the bottle. Be careful not to touch the lip of the bottle.
8. Twist the cork, holding it in a napkin to release it from the bottle opening.

OPENING SPARKLING WINES


1. Present the bottle to the person who ordered it, cradling it in a serviette so the entire label is
visible and can be read.
2. Holding the bottle in a serviette, remove the foil from the wire cage.
3. Holding by the thumb on top of the cork and apply slight pressure, loosen the wire cage with the
other hand.
4. Holding the base of the bottle in one hand, place the napkin over the cork. Hold the cork still
while twisting the bottle. As the cork pushes out, hold it tightly. The cork should come out slowly
and make a slight “shhh” sound.
5. Gently remove the cork from the bottle.

GRAPES
Anatomy of the Grape
 Size: the smaller the grape, the more concentrated its flavor
 Skin Color and Thickness: this gives wine especially red and rose its color and many of its
aromatic qualities
 Acid/Sugar Ratio: this determines the wines sweetness and level of alcohol

VARIETIES
WHITE-WINE GRAPES

1. CHARDONNAY – in the New World regions this grape produces a rich wine that is usually
aged in oaked barrels to add complexity and body.
2. SAUVIGNON BLANC – often thought of as the main alternative to Chardonnay because it is so
different, it usually has a herbal or “green” quality that is a contrast to rich, buttery flavour of
oaked chardonnays.
3. RIESLING – the least popular of the three, it has the best potential to go with a broad range of
food.

RED-WINE GRAPES

1. MERLOT – the most popular red wine grape right now, it yields relatively soft, warm wines
with relatively low acid levels. This lead to a wine that tastes good by itself but often lacks the
acidity it needs to go with food.
2. CABERNET SAUVIGNON – wine from this grape usually have more structure, acidity and
aging potential. With a flavour of black currant and green bell pepper and sometimes with
daunting tannins, it can often use little softening up by adding Merlot.
3. PINOT NOIR - it is known for its profuse aromas and its earthiness that and its good level of
acidity make it one of the most flexible food wines.
4. SYRAH/ SHIRAZ – this grape is becoming more popular in USA, mostly because of Australian
imports. It’s got obvious berry flavour and often a distinctly spicy character – to the point where
you can actually smell white pepper sometimes. The finest wine made from this grape come from
northern Rhone region of France.
5. ZINFANDEL–perhaps known mostly for its so called white version, it is a uniquely American
grape that only recently has been linked to the primitive grape of Italy. Lots of fruit and spice
make it great wine for American food as well.

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

NORTH OR SOUTH?
The body of the wine depends largely on where it’s from – more precisely, the climate it’s from. Colder
regions tend to produce light-bodied, high-acid wines because the grapes don’t get as ripe. Warmer
regions usually put out fuller wines with a bit lass acidity. So if a party of guests wants a full-bodied wine
because of the food they chose, look to warmer areas such as Southern France (Rhone or Provence) or the
Napa valley. For light-bodied, check out the Alto Adige of Italy or Oregon.

OLD WORLD or NEW WORLD?


There is a basic difference between the wines of Europe and those of the USA, South America
and Australia. It comes down to this: in the Old world wineis an accompaniment to food, and in the
NewWorld it’s a beverage. That is, Old World wine tends to be earthier, drier and missing some fruit
which help them to accent food.The New World wines, often drunk by themselves.
The lack of fruity sweetness in European wine is exactly why they go well with food – the food
and wine together makes it a complete experience. New world wines can sometimes clash the food
because the wine has all the flavour it needs.

Grape Varieties Part II


Important White Grape Variety:
1. Chardonnay – the most popular white grape variety. It is dry and light to medium and full
bodied depending on how they are made. Chardonnay is easy to cultivate, decease resistant and
prolific in most conditions.
2. Chenin Blanc - very high acidity characterizes these grape which needs plenty of sun to ripen
properly.
3. Reisling – a classic German white grape variety which makes some fine white wines all over the
world, from dry to very sweet.
4. Sauvignon Blanc / Fume Blanc – this acidity makes a good blending variety to add zest to
bland wine. Their intense taste and aroma, suggestive of green grass and gooseberries, make them
easy to recognize.
5. Semillion – the most important grape of Bordeaux. These are versatile grapes that make a range
of white wines, dry to very sweet. It is often blended with sauvignon blanc or chardonnay.

Important Red Grape Variety:


1. Cabernet Sauvignon – this is the most well known black grape variety in the world, along with
merlot which is often blended. This is a wine rich in color, aroma, and depth and in time has a
long lasting flavor.
2. Merlot – the most widely planted black grape variety in Bordeaux where it is usually blended
with cabernet sauvignon. It has a flavor of plum and fruitcake.
3. Pinot Noir – these are the grapes used to make black burgundy. They are extremely sensitive to
climatic conditions and yields are not very high, making them both difficult and expensive to
produce. It is one of the main grape varieties used to make champagne.
4. Syrah – it has the aroma of black currant, cedar mixed spices. The syrah grapes make dark, full
bodied, strong red wine usually best with food.
5. Zynfandel – California own grape variety. The grapes own a berry like character flavor. It makes
wine wherein style can vary from light to elegant as in white or rose wine to massive and tannic
reds.
6. Gamay – this wine has a distinct pear aroma, made of grapes from Germany which is most
uncomplicated, light and fruity reds intended for drinking when young and fresh.
7. Grenache – makes a fruity flavored wine and aroma of freshly ground pepper, and it may be
blended with syrah or cabernet sauvignon to balance the flavor.
8. Gewürztraminer – a spicy variety grape with intense lychee flavor. It is one of the few wines
that will go well with spicy foods.

The Best German Grape Varieties Planted in the Most Appropriated Typical Soil:
1. Reisling – this is Germany’s noblest and best known grape. It is grown on the slopes of the Rhine
and Moselle valleys and its long, slow ripening develops a delicious fruity bouquet which is
balance with fine acidity.

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

2. Muller Thurgau –this is the most widely grown grape in Germany


3. Elbling – this is Germany oldest grape variety was introduced by the Romans.
4. Silvaner – this rapidly regains its popularity with its productive variety produces an attractive
wine with soft acidity.
5. Donfelder – this relatively new variety is rapidly becoming accepted as Germany’s most
promising newcomer. It produces a dark, full flavored red wine.
6. Portugieser – this variety came from Danube region, produces a fresh, fruity light wine with an
attractive acidity.
7. Palomino – this grape was developed around Jerez de la Frontera, Spain and it is the basis or the
sherry made.

COCKTAILS
COCKTAIL - is a mixed drink, usually containing one or more distilled alcoholic beverages and perhaps
non-alcoholic drinks, ice and sometimes liqueur, fruit, sauce, honey, milk or cream. Spices, etc.

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF MIXED DRINKS

Before studying specific recipes, it’s important to have a basic understanding of some
fundamental concepts pertaining to mixed drinks. General principles associated with methods of
preparation, recipes and glass wares are outlined.

A. SEVEN METHODS OF PREPARATION


1. Straight Shots – means one ounce of liquor served “up”. The glassware depends on the type
of liquor served:
Liquor - Shot glass
Cordial -Cordial Glass
Brandy or Cognac -Snifter
Liqueur -Snifter/ cordial

B. ROCK DRINKS – means a straight liquor or combination of liquor (no mix) served over ice.
These drinks are served on a rock glass which is normally small because it’s designed to serve
only liquors without mix
C. HIGHBALL DRINKS – the basic mixed drink (single liquour +single) can be referred to as
highball drink and is served in a highball glass. The highball glass is slightly larger than rock
glass to accommodate added mix. The standard mixes are water, soda, tonic, ginger ale, cola,
lemon-lime soda and fruit juices.
D. TALL DRINKS - any drinks requested “tall” is served in a tall highball glass. This is largely
higher than a standard glass to accommodate extra mix. Ex: A tall scotch and soda, a tall bourbon
and water, a tall gin and tonic ice.
E. STIRRED DRINKS
F. MIXING CAN DRINKS
G. BLENDED DRINKS

BASIC MIXING RULES


1. Use only ingredients of highest quality.
2. Plenty of ice in first requisite of good mixing before the liquor.
3. Always measure the ingredients.
4. When it comes to mixing, some drinks are shaken with ice for plenty of dilution for heavy
ingredients.
5. Chill or heat glasses.
6. To frost the rim of the glass, rub it with a piece of lemon and dip in salt.
7. Mixers- such as soda, water, tonic, ginger ale and fruit juices should be added to the liquor rather
than the other way around.
8. Always use the right glass for every drink.
9. If the recipes call for an egg, PUT THE EGG FIRST, this way you will not spoil good spirit if the
egg happened to be rotten.
10. Clear mixture should be stirred, Cloudy should be shaken.
11. When recipe talks of dash this means just a few spots to talk about of a teaspoon.
12. Straining with cocktail shaker or strainer.
13. Prepare fruit juices before use.
14. Add sparkling liquid so they retain life.
15. Use cracked ice for shakers, crushed ice for highball, and cubed ice for rock drinks.
16. Before mixing cocktails fill glass with cracked ice to cool them, throw the ice and dry the glasses
before pouring cocktails into them.
17. Beer should be served cold, served in chilling glasses and never served beer with ice.
18. Always have all necessary ingredients and all bar supplies ready.

College of Teacher Education


FSM 222-BAR TENDING AND BAR MANAGEMENT

COMPOSITION OF A GOOD COCKTAIL


BASE – determines the type of alcoholic base liquor of the drink and often the potency of the cocktail.
The base should be able to stand and remain prominent even if the other ingredients are already added.

MODIFIERS or AROMATIZERS - helps reduce the strength of the alcohol without overpowering it. It
defines the texture, smell, and often the body of the drink.

ADDITIVES and SPECIAL AGENTS - often added last and in dashes of drops, it adds another
dimension to the drinks by creating a new color, smell or appearance to the drink.

GARNISH/ DECORATIONS - a modern cocktail will not be complete without a garnish or decoration
to make ye drink more attractive and appealing.
