Definitions

  1. a waiter who manages wine service in a hotel or restaurant

Word origin

Borrowed from French sommelier (“originally, a person in charge of the beasts of burden carrying wine”), from somme (“pack”) + -ier (suffix forming the names of jobs). somme is from Vulgar Latin *sauma, from Latin sagma (“packsaddle”).

Used in a sentence

  • The sommelier recommended the perfect wine, opened the bottle with panache, and served it into glasses.
  • The final nerve-wracking task involved “sommeliering” throughout a gourmet lunch for judges and wine writers – and answering the tricky questions which were inevitably thrown their way.
