The term "sommelier" has become widespread, with individuals adopting it across various industries like water, mustard, and olive oil, blurring its original meaning and associated role even further. This shift has prompted a growing number of individuals in the wine service industry to prefer titles other than "sommelier" or "somm." Some opt for job-specific distinctions such as "beverage ops" or "wine director," while others distance themselves from the French origin of the term, using titles like "wine person" or "wine steward." Furthermore, some choose more unconventional titles, like "curator of vibes" or "wine jockey," embracing an entirely different, more esoteric identity. https://lnkd.in/evQ7DcfQ

FEATURE - NATTY WINE AND OYSTERS “It comes down to how you ethically and morally want to run your business. Are you prepared to take the hit to perhaps make slightly less money on a glass of wine that you know is well and responsibly made?” While natural wine comes at a greater cost and certainly adds to the difficulty of running a wine programme, for Martin Waugh and Matt Francombe, respective restaurant managers and sommeliers at Restaurant Hjem and French bistro Ophelia, both of whom have been recognised by the Star Wine List, it is also “the honourable choice” so they “make it work”. And despite its detractors and the naysayers who dismiss natty wine as a mere flash in the pan, the growing popularity of the natural wine movement is reflected in the number of fine dining establishments and bottle shops throughout the region that are serving and stocking natural or organic wines. As we found out from Martin and Matt, far from being a fad, this ancient farming technique that dates back to the Romans is here to stay, certainly at Hjem and Ophelia, who pride themselves on sourcing locally, reducing air miles and minimising their carbon footprint. Find out more about this potential new trend in the North East hospitality industry as a growing number of businesses look towards operating more sustainably and ethically, despite the cost: https://lnkd.in/eQqcRYcd Photography by James Alexander Grieves #NET #northeasttimes #NETCurated #Hjem #Ophelia #restaurant #bistro #Gosforth #hospitality #northeasthospitality #naturalwine #nattywine #organicwine #winemaking #sustainability #drivingconversations #makingconnections

✊️ The Amber Revolution is not dead yet! 🍊 It's been 10 years now that Orange Wines took over the wine lists all over the World: 🎷 A funky mix between traditional winemaking methods and the new wave of byodinamic philosophy, Orange Wines became a must between wine -lovers and wine-hipsters! 🍇 The freshness of white wine with the body of a red, and a lot of personality: sometimes elegant, sometimes rough, but unusual and unforgettable for sure. 🇬🇪 From Georgia to 🇮🇹 Carso and Collio, from 🇬🇷 Greece to the inner Mediterranean, this style is widely produced and appreciated. 🗺 There are quite few wineries specialized in Orange Wines only, with more then 40 years of experience: most of them are now a real cult for the wine lovers (and the wine traders), and their bottles are very hard to purchase due to the low quantities (and high prices sometimes). 🌟 But, despite been loved and having a well deserved place in a lot of starred restaurants, it's very hard to find them in the classic fine dining venues around the World, included a lot of 3stars awarded temples of cuisine, excluded and snobbed by the luxurious world of wines. 🤔 What are the reasons, for you? 🍊 Do you like Orange Wines? ✊️ Is it just a trend, or the Amber Revolution is still on? 📸 Nur, La Distesa, Cupramontana, Italy. #sommelier #winelovers #sommlife #orangewines #finedining #wine #expectations #wondering #Revolution

Wine holds a venerable place in the gastronomy and cultures of the world, intricately woven into the social and culinary tapestries of numerous countries. Its significance extends beyond mere beverage, acting as a symbol of heritage, craftsmanship, and the enjoyment of dining. In places like France, Italy, and Spain, wine is not just a drink but a pivotal element of identity and tradition, celebrated through festivals and meticulously paired with local cuisines to enhance flavors and dining experiences. The cultivation of vineyards and the craft of winemaking have also shaped the economic and physical landscapes of these areas, influencing agricultural practices and tourist industries. While many of the positions in all guest service positions may leave us due to technology... a human will always need to be present to extoll the virtues of the experience. www.DerekEngles.com #wine #wineeducation #winearticles #restaurant #hospitalityindustry #hospitality #education #innovation #management #marketing #digitalmarketing #fyi
