A well drink or rail drink is an alcoholic beverage served using the lower-cost liquors stored within easy reach of the bartender in the counter 'speed rail' or well. Rail drinks differ from "call" drinks in that the former are offered when a customer does not specify a particular brand of liquor when ordering a mixed drink.〔〔 The terms "well drink" and "rail drink" come from the name for a bartender's workspace, known as either the well or the rail.〔〔〔 In any given establishment, the rail/well liquors available may be known as the "house pours" or "house brands".〔 The actual liquors used by a drinking establishment will vary. A bartender's well may include at least one variety of gin, rum, whiskey, vodka, bourbon, tequila, triple sec, and vermouth.〔 Some establishments that cater to higher-end clientele or wish to project an aura of luxury choose premium brands to be their well liquors (thus offering a "premium well").〔〔 ==Call and top-shelf== A rail or well drink is usually served when a customer does not specify that a particular brand of liquor be used.〔〔〔 For example, a customer order for a "Scotch and soda" would lead the bartender to use a rail/well Scotch whisky and would be priced as a rail drink, whereas ordering "Glenfiddich and soda" would be a call drink.〔 Call liquors are known as such because the customer "calls" or requests a particular brand of liquor. Certain expensive brand-name liquors are not considered or priced as call, but are instead known as "top-shelf" liquors, both from their placement on the shelves and from their price relative to the other liquors available.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Well drink」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
