Learning about wine doesn’t have to be daunting for new waiters. With the right focus and a blend of education and fun, Christian will train your staff to become experts at selling wine. This is different than becoming a wine expert. Your chief concern is that your staff is able to sell the wine on your menu.

With a program that identifies the different levels of training required from new beginners to established staff all the way to mentoring a key staff, Christian Maier Beverage Training Program is tailor made for your establishment with your staff as the core element.

New employee training is focused on the experience of tasting wine and clearly communicating to guests what to expect from a wine. The most important aspect of beginner wine training is giving novices the confidence to speak intelligently about wine to their guests. It’s important to remember that just as new hires may be intimidated by wine service, your guests can be just as uncertain. It’s crucial to practice a consistent wine training program to ensure consistency in your restaurant and retain staff.

More advanced beverage training will give your key staff the edge and the upskilling your establishment needs while mentoring a key staff is about imparting 30 years of practice and knowledge.
