What’s the best way to setup wines, including several different SKU’s and prices, that are sold by the glass via POS?
I set them up as wine products. You’ll need to do an adjustment to take your bottles out of inventory for BTG service.

Ditto. We stack up bottles used for pouring tastings/WBG in a specific area, then tally them at the end of the day and sell them to our customer “Promo, Tasting Samples” (in club type “Promo” with 100% discount on product department “Wine”)
Edit: if you don’t charge for wine tastings (grimace), then for for tax purposes, you can just run a report for bottles sold as tasting samples, then run a report for glasses sold. Then either divide that by however many glasses you get out of a bottle, or multiply glasses sold by oz (of your pour size) and divide by 25. That gives you your total bottles sold as wine by the glass, which you can then deduct from your bottles logged out as “Tasting Samples” to arrive at your actual bottles poured in tastings. Sounds like a pain, but depending on how you run the books and your reporting frequency,

Hi there, wondering if when you set them up, do you do as separate product - or sku under the bottle and wine type? as a pull down item?
They are wine products, not wine. Their own product and SKU.
Thanks for the reply- but why wine products? I called Vin65 for
clarification (before you replied) and they said only if it is taxed
differently. In NY it is taxed the same for resale, 8%.
Is there any other advantage? I am painstakingly adding all my sku now as
wine and just changing the first in the sku from B for bottle to G for
glass.
I don’t know that it is a mistake to define a glass of wine as “Wine”. It’s been a long time since I first defined a BTG product, but I am pretty sure I made my decision after noting that “Wine” has a long list of required info - like bottle size, cases per bottle, appellation, vintage, and so on. While on the other hand, my BTG product is pretty much vintage independent - “glass of Syrah” - and doesn’t need all of that extra stuff. It’s just easier and gets the job done.

ah, that would be a good reason and yes, it takes a long time to set up in
the wine category.
Thanks!

You might also find that by adding BTG as sub-sku’s to wine bottles, that you’re not able to set them up on their own POS page like I’ve done in the screenshot (correct me if I’m wrong?) …I think you’d be stuck with a single page that displays the bottles, then you’d have to click the bottle and select the glass.
Which, now that I think about it. Might actually be a nice thing. One less page to navigate to. But also possibly presents a bigger issue for cashier error (“hey, I just checked out a few minutes ago, and I got charged for a bottle when I only bought a glass.”)
I have all of my wine bottles on one POS page/category and all of my BTGs on another.
(I actually have two SKUs in my BTGs, regular price and to properly set a club price. I price the BTGs so that tax is included, as per custom, but promos don’t work very well in that case…)
