Wine Tasting 101 - The Tasting Wrangler


Every wine shop has tasting days for the public.  These are great times for the store to push new products and for the customers to try something new before they buy it.

First, the staff will invite the customer over to the tasting which is always close to the entrance.

"Would you like  to try some wine today?"

This is responded to in several different ways.

Customer 1 - Ignores the question, says nothing and keeps walking. (Yes, this happens frequently.)
Customer 2 - Thanks anyway, but I'm driving.  (A taste this small is getting anyone buzzed.)
Customer 3 - Flat out says "No." (Must be a beer drinker.)
Customer 4 - Yes, of course!!! (WINNER!)

It's hard to believe that anyone in their right mind would ever turn down free alcohol, but it happens all the time.
