What is Bartending.



What is Bartending? by Barney Garcia

A bartender is someone who serves beverages behind a licensed bar to paying customers. A bartender can also be called a barkeep or a barmaid. Bartenders are found in bars, pubs, taverns, nightclubs and other such places. The bartender mixes and serves drinks, and the majority of drinks a bartender is making contain alcohol, such as beer, wine, liquor, liqueur, coolers and cocktails. They also serve water, juice, pop and other non-alcoholic beverages for customers who do not wish to drink alcohol such as a designated driver or a non drinker. As well as make and serve drinks, the bartender is also responsible for taking payment for drinks (either from customers, waiters or waitresses), keep the liquor supplies and glassware stocked, keep the bar area clean, maintain enough ice and garnishes on hand and serve food to customers sitting at the bar.

Often, the bartender is expected to dress appropriately to add to the atmosphere of the bar. In some establishments, the bar tender might participate in flair bartending, which contributes to the entertainment in the bar. Bartenders are expected to be able to mix hundreds of types of drinks to please any paying customer in a quick, accurate and unwasteful fashion. In some establishments, such as a busy nightclub, the bartender is only expected to serve the customer a drink and nothing else. In a smaller place such as a tavern however, the bartender might be expected to be a good listener, and allow the customers to have a shoulder to cry on. All bartenders should be friendly however, and enjoy having contact and communication with customers. Good bartenders have a way of attracting regular customers. Good bartenders like this will remember the favored drink of regular customers, have drink recommendations on hand or recommendations for other bars, as well as several other unofficial duties.

In most countries, tipping is expected of the customer, and this is how the bartender gets the majority of his income, as most bar tenders are paid minimum wage. In some places, minors are allowed in bars, and it is the bartenders responsibility to check for identification before serving them alcohol. If this sounds like a lot of work, with not much reward, look on the bright side. Your working at an establishment that serves gallons of liquor each day, and your in charge of it. What better way to get drunk for free!

What To Look For in A Wine Bar by Joseph A.Alias

What To Look For in A Wine Bar by Joseph A.Alias

Wine drinking is one of the best ways to enjoy oneself or to have a chat with friends. If you want to enjoy wine outside, there are outside wine bars that will surely suit you. However, as a customer you should know that there are some things to consider before going into a wine bar. Aside from enjoying a good bottle of wine, here are some other things that you should consider in a wine bar.

Check the wine list

This is the first thing that you should check. The best wine bar does not only offer the different varieties of wine, you should make sure that they have the best kinds. Be sure to check the prices too because some places are pricy when they sell good wine.
Check the wine quality

Even if the place has the best brands and best types of wine, make sure its quality is supreme. Some wines get dull if it's stored too long so be sure that you get the best bottle that they have. Some wines also crystallize so make sure that your wine bar knows all about these aspects. Certain types of wine also require ‘breathing’ to get their best taste.

Check the menu

A good wine bar must always have a menu that compliments their wine list. If not, that means you won't be able to enjoy yourself fully. There are specific types of wines that are best partnered with different meals. So make sure that the bar’s menu gives you some of the best partners for your favorite wines.

Check the ambiance

Most people become regular customers because of a bar’s ambiance. Always evaluate the ambiance of the bar before deciding to come back. It’s better if there is good music that you can enjoy while chatting, and it's important if you can also identify with the crowd.

Check the service

Make sure that service is excellent. Enjoying your bottle of wine will be best if you are entertained by good waiters. Most bars usually have a wine expert so make sure to have a little chat with them when you order your glass or bottle to learn something new. Be kind enough to leave a tip if you enjoy their service, you can be sure that they will serve you better when you return.

Whether you are drinking for your own enjoyment or with friends, remember this checklist. Enjoying a good wine will be so much better in a bar if you take note of these tips.

Wine is the oldest and most popular beverage. In our modern world, where elegance and traditions are treasured, wine is associated when having a complete hearty meal. It cleanses the meticulous palate that considers taste and flavor as the basic fundamentals of a meal.

Wines are produced in different parts of the world where contemporary and classic fermentation are being used to produce an extra - ordinary taste. Based on the recent market survey, Australia is one of the many countries that produce the best wines.
