My wife and I were recently in the Czech Republic and enjoyed our finest dinners in the town of Ceske Krumlov. The wine was served in a manner unique to my experiences: the waiter sampled the wine himself using a glass he brought with him when he brought the bottle. He decanted it after assuring us the wine was fine.

Is this practice of the waiter tasting the wine a common one?
