History?

Anything known on the history of wine lists? When & why it started to have lists of dishes and wine separated.. --> to be put in the article.. -- 80.145.198.128 (talk) 18:34, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only history I could find is what I wrote in the 3rd paragraph about Egyptian times. ~Amatulić (talk) 21:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes thx Amatulic but I am on search for some information for german language and there/here a "Weinkarte" is expressively not a cellar's inventory list (this is named "Weinbestand"/ Bestandsliste/=Inventory list) but a list of wine offers paired with dishes and showing costs in a restaurant. :-) Merci. So I remain searching first proven pairings for a restaurant/pub use - wines paired with costs. There also exist special wine lists which don't show the prices of wines - to the lady. And there are some VERY! special lists in some clubs which show the lady triple the price the mister will have to pay - for impressing the lady.. ;-) .. (no source available - once read in a magazine in the 1970ies) -- 80.145.198.128 (talk) 00:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you're interested in wine pairing, then see the article on wine and food matching.

It would be good to find sources for the things you've seen. Last year there was a controversy about the magazine Wine Spectator, in which it was revealed that their list of "top ranked" wine lists resulted more from how much a restaurant paid them, instead of the actual quality of the wine list. There are good sources on that, and eventually I'll try to work it into the article if nobody else does. ~Amatulić (talk) 17:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
