Waiter

Would monsieur care for another bottle of Chateau Latour?

— The Jerk  ·  1979

What it means

Our interpretation.

The waiter offers another bottle using a courteous question and the formal address 'monsieur'. The wording gives a simple offer of more wine an air of ceremony. Nothing is demanded; the choice is left to the guest through carefully deferential language.
