When you purchase a bottle of wine at a restaurant, then the waiter asks you to try it, what happens if you absolutely cannot bear the taste.
Do you have to pay for it? Does it get used behind the bar, in the kitchen. What happens to it?
I've never actually refused a bottle, but I've always wondered.

we ask you to try the wine you ordered, to make sure it is not spoiled. if you just don't like the taste,and the wine is fine ,you absolutely have to pay for it. usually guests order wines they are familiar with, you can't just order something blindly & hope you will like it. describe which specific wines you enjoyed before, and we will gladly assist you in the selection. it is not fair, however, to have us open a bottle of expensive wine, just to satisfy your curiosity. the restaurant has the right to insist on payment, and you can take the bottle home with you. we do our best to satisfy our guests, and make exceptions on occasion, as long as you don't make a habit out of it.at our restaurant, the refused & opened bottle is given to the manager, who has to fill out a detailed void slip, and then decides, what to do with it.

Tea tasting please. Being alcohol free, a wine or beer tasting experience is one that I would need to pass by. However, attendance at such an event would be a sensual experience with the gang as everyone is up for some good fun. I just need to keep my eyes open and watch for the legs to start wobbling, stand back and let Hattie get stuck in (wouldn't want to get in her way) and then get stuck in. So for me, either wine or beer tasting with lots of different teas would be the ideal occasion.

Yes, that is a good one because always you do like of the taste but always you feel free to refuse the bottle and don't pay more for it.
The bottle what you have refused return to serve another client.Believe if you don't like the taste try another but the waiter normally present you the better.

When you choose a bottle of wine in a restaurant, it is assumed that you know what you are buying.
When the waiter gives you a taste, it is for you to check that the wine is in good condition and is not corked ( cork has failed to seal properly and air has got to the wine). You also check for temperature.
Red wines at room temperature and whites lightly chilled.
If they are not to your satisfaction,send it back. You are paying after all.
Corked wines are tipped away and a credit is sought from the supplier.

If the wine is bad you can refuse it and not be charged. If you just don't like it you can not. The only purpose of them allowing you to taste the wine is to make sure it is not spoiled. It is NOT an opportunity to "sample" the wine.

They use it behind the bar. Or sometimes to somebody who does not want a whole bottle at dinner, just a glass.

Yes. Absolutely you can refuse it. It usually gets dumped here, and you don't have to pay for it. But some places will use it at the bar.
