Alcoholic Beverages
1. Liquor
A distilled beverage, liquor, or spirit is a drinkable liquid containing ethanol that is produced by means of distilled fermented grain, fruit, or
vegetables
2. Liqueurs
A liqueur is an alcoholic beverage that has been flavored with fruit, herbs, nuts, spices, flowers or cream and bottled with added sugar. Liqueurs
are typically quite sweet; they are usually not aged for long but may have resting periods during their production to allow flavors to marry.
3. Beer
Beer is the world's oldest and most widely consumed alcoholic beverage and the third most popular drink overall after water and tea. It is
produced by the brewing and fermentation of starches, mainly derived from cereal grains—the most common of which is malted barley,
although wheat, maize (corn), and rice are widely used. Most beer is flavored with hops, which add bitterness and act as a natural preservative,
though other flavorings such as herbs or fruit may occasionally be included.
4.Wine
Wine is an alcoholic beverage often made of fermented juice. The natural chemical balance of grapes is such that they can ferment without the
addition of sugars, acids, enzymes or other nutrients

WINES
•
•
•
•
•
Wine is the fermented juice of freshly gathered grapes.
Wine is produced in many temperate parts of the world.
The soil, climate & cultivation all have a significant impact on
the wines character.
Too much or too little of one essential element will mean a
poor tasting wine.
Wine is first categorized by color: red, white or rose, then are
further classified as light beverage wines, still, sparkling,
fortified, & aromatic.
WINE MAKING
Wine is made in six steps:
1. Crushing
2. Fermenting
3. Racking
4. Maturing
5. Filtering
6. Bottling
WINES
• After maturing, the wine is filtered to help stabilize it &
remove any solid particles still in the wine.
– This process is called fining.
• The wine is then clarified by adding either egg white
or bentonite, which removes impurities as it sinks to
the bottom of the vat.
• Fine vintage wines are kept for a few years to further
mature in the bottle & are consumed at their peak–
several years later.
• White wines mature quicker than red & are often
consumed within a few months of bottling.
SPARKLING WINES
• Champagne, sparkling white wines & sparkling rose
wine are known as the sparkling wines.
• The sparkling part comes from the addition of
carbon dioxide, which can be either naturally
produced or infused into the wine.
• Champagne owes its unique sparkling quality to a
second fermentation in the bottle, a process called
method champenoise.
FORTIFIED WINES
•
•
•
•
Sherries, Ports, Madeira’s & Marsala’s are fortified wines,
meaning they have had brandy or wine alcohol added to
them.
Brandy or wine alcohol gives a unique taste & increases the
alcohol content of the wine to about 20%.
Each of the fortified wines is sweeter than regular wine &
each has several sub-groups with a range of aromas & tastes.
They can be enjoyed anytime & are also used in cooking.
AROMATIC WINES
• Aromatized wines are fortified & flavored
with herbs, roots, flowers, & barks.
• These wines can be sweet or dry.
• Aromatic wines are better known as
aperitifs, which are normally enjoyed before
a meal to stimulate the digestive juices.
HOW TO SELECT A WINE LIST
• The wine selection offered should be appropriate for the
restaurant.
– Naturally, an Italian restaurant will feature wines from Italy.
• Consider the varietals type of grape and most important, what’s on
the menu.
– Pairing food with wine is critical to the enjoyment of the meal, as wines
can either complement or detract from a dish.
WINES WITH FOOD
• Wines are best described by flavor & texture.
• Richness & body are important qualities when
choosing the appropriate wine.
• Flavors are food & wine elements perceived by the
olfactory nerves as fruity, minty, herbal, nutty,
cheesy, smoky, flowery, earthy and so on.
• Light food & light wine is a good combination.
RESPONSIBLE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGE SERVICE:

THIRD PARTY LIABILITY
•
•

minors or to persons who are intoxicated.

To combat underage drinking, a major brewery distributed a booklet
showing the authentic design & layout of each state’s driver’s license to
licensed establishments.
Trade associations have produced a number of preventive measures &
programs aimed at responsible alcohol beverage service.
CONTROLS
•
•
•
Liquor inventory that is not properly controlled can seriously
affect the restaurant.
It is safe to assume that given chance, liquor will be stolen.
Institute a weekly or biweekly audit.
– This may be done by an outside auditor, which is
recommended for larger & higher-volume restaurants, or
internally, with the correct equipment.

for the pouring cost results.
