The tasting-portion trick that drives Tuesday wine sales

A 30ml tasting pour of three wines, free, on Tuesdays. The bottle sale rate doubles.

Tuesday wine sales are flat at most venues because the customer hasn’t tried anything bold enough to commit to a glass, let alone a bottle. A 30ml tasting flight removes the risk.

The offering

  • Three wines, chosen by the sommelier or owner that morning.
  • 30ml each. Free, on Tuesdays.
  • One sheet, A5, on every table — “Tuesday tasting flight, on the house”.

What happens

Conversion to a bottle (or two glasses) on the favourite of the three is around 50–65%. The unit economics work — 90ml of wine costs you $2–$4, the average resulting sale is $35–$60. Tuesday wine revenue typically doubles.
