A wine steward's job is to know the contents of the cellar and to match the wines with a great meal.

Simple? Sadly, many wine stewards think of their customers as ignorant rubes, and themselves as elite connoisseurs,

Knowing wine is what a wine steward gets paid for - it's their job. Sure, being a good wine steward is something to be proud of... but no more so than a plumber being proud of installing a new kitchen sink.

You certainly wouldn't expect the plumber to sneer at you for not knowing as much about plumbing. So a wine steward who is snobby is just another way of describing downright rude.

If you encounter this... complain to the manager. On the other hand, learning a bit about ordering the right wine may be a more pleasant way to handle wine stewards behaving badly.

Here are some expert pointers...
