Wine price formats

A wine list carries four sale prices, and which ones you fill is a statement about how the cellar operates.

Fill only what you pour

An empty field shows nothing on the menu. A 0 is a real price of zero and is displayed as one.

• Most wines need the bottle price alone.
• A by-the-glass wine needs glass and bottle.
• Large and small formats are filled only when the stock exists.

A glass price on a wine the house will not open by the glass is the fastest way to disappoint a table.

One wine, several formats

A wine sold in several sizes is one record with several prices. That keeps its description, vintage, region, grape and technical sheet in one place, which is how guests read a wine list.

Create a second record only when the wine is genuinely different — another vintage, another cuvée.

The by-the-glass selection

Glass prices are the most volatile part of a wine list because they follow what is open.

Two habits keep it honest:

• review the glass prices in the weekly menu check;
• when a wine stops being poured, clear the glass price rather than drafting the wine — the bottle is still for sale.

Because prices are editable inline on All items, a by-the-glass review is a few minutes on one screen.

Measures

There is no field for the size of a pour. If the menu states measures — 150 ml by the glass, for instance — put it in the wine's subtitle or description, or state it once in a category description, and keep the wording identical across the list.

Market references are not sale prices

The four Referencias del mercado values — supermarket, minimum, average and maximum restaurant price — are internal guidance, not guest-facing prices. They help you decide what to charge; they are never displayed.

Repricing the list

For anything beyond a few wines, use the spreadsheet route:

1. Download as Excel from All items and keep the file as the "before" reference.
2. Adjust the prices in the sheet.
3. Bring the rows back through the wine bulk tool.
4. Export again and compare.

The export carries the wine name, all four prices and the category. Rows are matched by exact title, which is the practical reason for keeping vintages out of titles.

Checking

1. Every wine has at least one price.
2. Every glass price corresponds to a wine that is actually opened.
3. Large-format prices correspond to stock that exists.
4. The relationship between formats reads sensibly.
5. The list is legible on a phone — four price columns is the densest row on any Fenómenus menu.
6. Any circulating PDF has been regenerated.
