house wine

A wine featured by a restaurant and often served in a CARAFE or by the glass. Sometimes a winery does a special bottling and labels the wines for a restaurant. House wines are usually inexpensive wines that offer the diner an economical option to the more pricey, better-known selections on the wine list. Ask the server what the house wine is—he or she should be able to tell you the variety (Chardonnay, Merlot, etc.), brand name, and VINTAGE (if any).
