Travel + Leisure posted an interesting article that gives travel tips for sixteen different snags tourists can face. The scenarios range from air travel to hotels, taxis to restaurants.

What to Do When You Order Wine You Don’t Like by Amy Farley.
Do...
speak up. A lot of customers feel intimidated by big wine lists and sommeliers, but it’s okay to trust your palette.
[ Stand up for yourself and your palette! So much of the big wine list/sommelier intimidation can be diffused by asking the simple question, “what do you suggest?” Engaging in a conversation before making a decision can guide you toward the right choice. ]
Do...
snap a photo of the label and add it to an album of wines you’ve loved or loathed; use it to guide you on future selections.
[ I’ve downloaded the Vivino app. So far, I like it. I’d love to hear your comments or suggestions for it or other wine tracking apps. ]
Don’t...
judge too early. As the wine opens, up you may change your mind.
[ True. ]
Don’t...
suffer through a poor choice. The sommelier’s goal is for you to be happy with your selection.
[ Done this. Suffered though a poor choice. Wouldn’t recommend it. If you do send back a bottle, you may be asked why. Answer truthfully because your response will give the sommelier or server a better idea of a wine more to your liking. ]
