Best Practices

• •Embrace "Fun, Not Fuss": Always lean towards language that is engaging, slightly playful, and avoids overly technical or pretentious wine jargon. Keep it relatable.
• •Highlight Passion & Discovery: Share the story and enthusiasm behind the wine selections. Encourage customers to explore new tastes and find their next favorite.
• •Be Inclusive and Welcoming: Use language that makes everyone feel comfortable, whether they're a seasoned wine aficionado or a curious newcomer.
• •Foster Community: When appropriate, mention the physical bar, events, and the joy of sharing wine with others. Use "we" and "us" to create a sense of belonging.
• •Stay True to the "Cheeky" & "Romantic" Vibe: Incorporate a touch of wit and personality. The inspiration from *Romeo + Juliet* and the "moody and mysterious" but fun aesthetic can be subtly woven into descriptions and storytelling.
