Wine etiquette basics: SALON V evening

Wine is more than a social drink. It is part of our culture: conversation, hospitality and the small beautiful moments of life.

At this practical and enjoyable salon evening we look at wine etiquette in a modern way: how to serve and order wine, which nuances to notice, and how to feel natural and confident with wine in company.

At the training you will discover:

• the basics of wine etiquette in modern social life

• how to serve and pour different wines correctly

• how to order wine in a restaurant and read the wine list with confidence

• the ABC of choosing glasses and pairing wine with food

• the etiquette of serving champagne and sparkling wine

• the right temperature for wine and the principles of storing it

• how to host a wine-centred gathering calmly and elegantly

• the most important wine terminology, to help you find your way in the world of wine

The classic wine elegance experienced in the wine-loving countries of Italy and France, and their unwritten rules, deserve special attention at the salon evening. We find that behaviour norms are often based on principles and basics which, once understood, make etiquette natural and simple good manners.

This is not a traditional wine course but a relaxed salon-style meeting, created for mindful presence, conversation and refined enjoyment, for everyone who wants to add something even more important to their wine knowledge: confidence, naturalness and good taste.

The host

Annely Raun Birnbaum has worked in wine and lifestyle for more than 18 years. She is a columnist for Wine and the City, which connects wine and cultural life, and the founder of Salon V and Vinsomnia.

In her work she combines wine knowledge, practical experience and an interest in how wine finds its natural place in everyday communication, hospitality and culture.

She approaches wine etiquette not as a collection of rules but as a natural expression of awareness, confidence and good taste.

Whether it is an intimate gathering with friends, a formal reception or an elegant dinner in a restaurant, you will learn to handle wine in a way that is at once mindful, natural and elegant.

Come and discover the finer nuances of wine etiquette, and find your own natural way of enjoying wine elegantly.
