Answer to Question 1

In 1978, the United States implemented the officially designated grape growing areasAmerican Viticultural Areas, or AVAs. These geographical designations are intended to be a means of showcasing a particular grape growing area's distinctions from one another. More specifically, in order for a potential AVA to be approved, the US government entails that evidence exists of its growing conditions such as climate, soil, elevation, and physical features are distinctive. American wine labels may identify a grape growing location or official AVA when a minimum of 85 of the grapes used for the wine come from the location identified on the bottle.

As of 2010, the TTB had recognized 198 AVAs throughout the United States. Lately, there have been an increasing number of sub-appellations designated to showcase even further distinction and specificity in a growing region.

Answer to Question 2

Round beverage trays are best carried with the palm of the hand underneath and in the center of the tray, as shown in Figure 4.7 This enables the server to maintain balance and compensate for weight shifts while serving beverages. The tray should also be held close to the body to prevent spills or accidents.

When serving, slowly lift the glasses or bottles from the tray. If the tray starts to tip, quickly return the glass or bottle that caused the shift in balance. Then carefully slide the hand underneath the tray to the area that needs support, and resume serving. A good technique to keep the load steady is to make sure all items are clustered together and touching, as shown in Figure 4.8 This stabilizes individual items (tall beer bottles and wine glasses) and minimizes the possibility of a single item losing balance and knocking over the rest to the load.
