This is an overview or written list of the alcoholic products offered, the services and the prices of a gastronomic establishment. However, a wine list usually includes not only wines, but also spirits, beers, cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. In some cases, the conditions for the consumption of wines brought to closed parties, for example, are also listed in the wine list (see corkage fee). In most cases, the wine list is included in the menu and is only listed separately in more upscale restaurants with a larger range of wines. In most cases, printed matter in bound or stapled form is used for this purpose, but information can also be provided by means of inscriptions on notice boards and posters.
For my many years of work as an editor with a wine and culinary focus, I always like to inform myself about special questions at Wine lexicon. Spontaneous reading and following links often leads to exciting discoveries in the wide world of wine.
