Winerim wine list barometer
Aggregated and anonymised data to understand where wine lists lose margin, which opportunities repeat and how to compare a restaurant with defensible references.
The Winerim Barometer is a living report. It starts with methodology, variables and observable patterns, then adds numerical cuts by country, vertical and list type when sample size and anonymisation rules are strong enough.
Methodology and anonymisation
The analysis works with lists, references, prices, by-the-glass formats, styles, regions and structural signals. Names of restaurants, hotels, groups and clients are not published.
Measured variables
Winerim measures reference count, price distribution, by-the-glass weight, regions, grapes, styles, pairings and, when available, sales, stock, margin and rotation by reference.
Margin patterns
The Barometer looks for invisible margin, underused by-the-glass offers, cannibalisation between similar references, large lists without clear function and missing monthly review cycles.
Priority segments
The first publishable cuts should cover fine dining restaurants, hotels, restaurant groups and restaurants without sommeliers because each needs a different benchmark.
How it fits the wine workflow
Winerim wine list barometer is not an isolated page: it belongs to the Winerim decision workflow for structuring the wine list, understanding sales, spotting slow-moving references and turning wine recommendations into a simple routine for the floor team and management.
Data worth checking
Before changing the list, teams should review average ticket, margin by reference, wine weight in total revenue, rotation by style and bottles with no movement. Those signals help prioritize decisions that affect buying, pricing and staff training.
How the floor team uses it
Winerim wine list barometer should also be clear for waiters, floor managers and operators. The page connects the digital decision with service language: what to recommend, why it makes sense and how to explain it without relying on a sommelier every time.
Connection with the wine library
When the decision touches styles, regions, grapes or pairings, it should connect back to the wine library. That keeps each list change tied to service language, sales arguments and internal staff training.
Recommended next step
The natural next step is to analyse the current list, identify margin opportunities and choose a small number of measurable actions: improve one category, activate wine by the glass, strengthen pairings or request a demo with real restaurant data.
