Diners should always order the cheapest bottle of wine on the list because restaurants make it too complex and overpriced.
Wine connoisseurs can be too snobbish, according to restaurant critic Jay Rayner, who says he refuses to be intimidated by lists.
Speaking at the Cheltenham Literature Festival, according to The Daily Telegraph, he said: “Wine lists are fraught with problems but mostly because of the b——- spouted by wine connoisseurs. They irritate me profoundly.”
He then recalled an incident that took place at a Michelin starred restaurant in central London, where diners pay up to £2,990 ($3,646.31) for a bottle of premium red wine.
He asked the waiter if he could find a bottle of Pinot Noir for £50 ($60.98), he described how the waiter looked at him like he was “some kind of scum on his heel.”
