Hi,
I'm doing an Assignment on wine at the moment and have absolutely no idea about wines.
I was wondering if someone could possibly help me with a few questions i have.
I need to create a wine list for a fine dining restaurant, cafe and function facility all within the one multi faceted hospitality business called Fenix which is located in Richmond, Melbourne Australia. Could someone please give me some information as to how i would set my wine list out and whether or not i need to note the region, vintage or non-vintage of wines and how i would price the wines by bottle and by glass.
So far i've got a lot of my wines from The Age Epicure and a book called The penguin good australian Wine Guide 2001-2002. This book gives rrp prices, i was wondering if i needed to add or take away from that price for a menu?. Same with the wines in the epicure.
If i was in charge of buying, storing and supervising wines at Fenix as well as acting as the sommelier in the fine dining Restaurant of the Establishment;
How would i purchase, store and market wines at Fenix?. I need to include information about wine representatives in this question.
Also how would i keep up to date with new products, wine trends and general industry information?.
Thankyou for you Time.

Hi ramanso and welcome to the board. Your few questions encompass about a quarter of a century of drinking, reading, discovery, and learning. To try to encapsulate this would make for a great Masters' Thesis. WW

You probably need to get your hands on some restaurant or wine and spirit magazines to research how to market wines, new trends, etc. If you have an upscale local restaurant that emphasizes wine, you might ask the sommelier if he/she subscribes to some of the industry mags and would share back issues with you, let you photocopy articles, etc. A wine distributor or retailer might also have some to share. You need to do your own research but the articles would be a starting point.
