What happens after the host's tasting sample is declared acceptable?

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

Answer: (C)

The main idea is that the host acts as the decision-maker during a tasting, so once their tasting sample is deemed acceptable, the next step is to move the service forward by pouring for everyone else first. This keeps the host’s role central and shows courtesy to all guests while ensuring the tasting flow isn’t stalled. By filling all other guests’ glasses before the host, you deliver the wine to the table in an orderly, ceremonial sequence and then complete the host’s pour last, signaling that the wine is approved for full service.
