I know almost nothing about wine. Is this over my head?
No. The book starts with how a page is arranged and how a price is built, not with tasting vocabulary. The book explains markup, wholesale cost and printed price in plain words, and the pairing chapters are organized by steak cut — filet, ribeye, hanger — rather than by regions you are expected to already know.
Why pay for the book when free wine videos are everywhere?
A video is good at one bottle at a time. This is the complete route in order: how the list is built, the markup arithmetic, the ten-second pass, the sentences for naming a bottle or sending one back, then cut-by-cut pairings and twenty value grapes. It is arranged in the order you will actually need it, in a PDF you can keep on your phone at the table.
What exactly is in this edition?
Order Wine Like You've Done It for Years is 64 pages and eleven chapters. It covers list design, markups, bottle formats, faulty bottles, steak pairings, sides and sauces, sparkling and white wines, twenty value grapes, ordering for a table, and the habits of a regular.
What format do I get?
PDF. That is the only format listed for this edition. Order Wine Like You've Done It for Years is delivered as that file, and its 64 pages and eleven chapters are the ones listed above.
Does it cover pours by the glass, half bottles and corkage?
Yes. “By the Glass, the Bottle, and the Half” works through open-bottle math, half bottles, magnums, corkage and what a preserved pour really means, so you can choose the format that fits the table rather than the one that flatters it.
Is this only about steakhouses?
The pairing chapters are built around the steakhouse plate: filet, ribeye, hanger, béarnaise, blue cheese, creamed spinach, charred asparagus and a heavy hand of pepper. The chapters on list design, markups, bottle formats and returns deal with the printed list itself.
The bottle I ordered tastes wrong. Does the book tell me what to do?
“Sending It Back Without Making It a Scene” separates corked, oxidized, heat-damaged and leaking bottles from simple preference, gives you four sentences that get a bad bottle off the table politely, and includes an honest account of who pays for it when they do.
Do I have to read it cover to cover before my next dinner?
No. “Ten Seconds and One Finger” is a single pass you can use the same evening, and the chapter is short enough to use at the table. Start there and read the rest when you want the arithmetic behind it.
Is there a money-back guarantee?
Yes. Every order has a 7-day money-back guarantee. To ask for a refund, just reply to the purchase email you got from Hotmart. A real person answers. The book is a PDF download; no printed copy is included.
