Red wine: four styles that carry a small shelf

Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Noir, and one good blend — the four reds a small shelf actually needs, faced warm and sold with dinner.

Red wine: four styles that carry a small shelf

Step 01

Four styles carry the shelf

Cabernet for bold, Merlot for soft, Pinot Noir for light, and a red blend for easy. Most red-wine buyers are choosing between those four — everything else is a bonus bottle.

Step 02

Face it warm, not cold

Red wine lives on the warm shelf, never in the cold door. Cold mutes it. Room temperature — a touch cool — is how it is meant to pour.

Face it warm, not cold

Step 03

Sell the meal, not the bottle

A small card under each style does the selling: Cabernet with steak, Merlot with pasta, Pinot Noir with salmon, the blend with pizza night. Dinner decides; the bottle follows.

Step 04

Order from the gaps

Wine moves slower than beer, so a hole hides longer. Walk the reds on delivery day, mark the gaps on What's Out, and let the vendor fill your list — not theirs.

InventoryBeer and wine: facing, voids, and the next vendor order

Warm gaps on a cold door are lost sales. Face, mark, order — same loop every delivery day.

What's OutStop letting the vendor write your order

The sales rep taps their app, not your books. Extra cases can be sloppy — or commission. What’s Out is your list. They fill it.
