A list of the alcoholic beverages on offer, the services and the prices of a catering establishment. However, a wine list usually includes not only wines, but also spirits, beers, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. In some cases, it also lists the conditions for the consumption of wines brought into the restaurant, for example for private parties (see Corkage fee). In most cases, the wine list is included in a menu and is only listed separately in more upmarket restaurants with a larger range of dishes. In most cases, printed materials in bound or stapled form are used for this purpose, but the information can also be displayed on notice boards and posters.

The glossary is a monumental achievement and one of the most important contributions to wine knowledge. Of all the encyclopaedias I use on the subject of wine, it is by far the most important. That was the case ten years ago and it hasn't changed since.
