In wine service, what is the correct sequence after the host's tasting sample is deemed acceptable?

• A. The host's glass is filled first.
• B. The bottle is opened and passed to others.
• C. The host's glass is filled last.
• D. All other guests' glasses are filled, then the host.

Answer: (D)

After the host’s tasting sample is deemed acceptable, the proper flow is to pour for all the other guests first, and only then fill the host’s glass. This sequence is a hallmark of formal wine service: it puts the guests’ enjoyment first and avoids any impression of singling out the host. It also helps maintain a smooth, orderly service where everyone at the table gets equal attention before the host’s own glass is filled.
