Question 2

Some managers feel that their wine lists must be extensive to optimize guest choice; other managers feel wine lists should be designed to minimize inventory costs.

Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

There are a variety of factors that must be considered when restaurant managers develop wine lists designed to carefully balance the desires of their guests and the profit- related requirements of their operations. These factors include:

1) Type of operation

2) Available storage space

3) Cash available for maintaining wine inventories

4) Wine product turnover

The main point that must be addressed when considering this question relates to the fact that increasing wine lists size will, in most cases, mean increased costs to an operator in these costs must be offset by the greater sales that may accrue from having a more extensive wine list.
