What we review
Wine list consulting goes beyond whether the wines are good. We look at the role each listing plays and whether the programme makes sense as a whole.
- Style, region and price-point balance
- Australian and international representation
- By-the-glass architecture
- Menu pricing and COGS
- Supplier concentration and portfolio fit
- Slow-moving stock and duplication
- Premium and discovery opportunities
Built for the venue, not for a template
A neighbourhood restaurant, a destination wine bar and a high-volume dining room should not have the same list. We shape recommendations around the food, guest profile, service style, buying power, storage and the level of wine confidence on the floor.
From review to full development
A focused Review can identify the highest-priority changes. For new openings or substantial resets, Vino Logic can build the list architecture, supplier plan, costing and staff handover from the ground up.
Common questions
Can you improve an existing list without rebuilding it?
Yes. Often the best outcome is a targeted restructure that keeps the strongest parts of the current list while fixing gaps, duplication or pricing issues.
Do you work with our existing suppliers?
Yes. Existing relationships can be retained and assessed alongside other options where useful.
Can you help with awards?
We can help develop a more coherent, distinctive and well-documented wine programme. Any award outcome remains independent and cannot be guaranteed.
