Wine service in Paris restaurants?

Question

In Paris, will the waiter or sommelier go through the same wine service routine that is done customarily in North America (ie show the label, open the bottle at tableside, then pour a small sample to assess for spoilage or cork taint before serving all guests)?

Answer 1

No, he most certainly will not drag you and your guests through that sideshow...

Answer 2

I would think that is normal anywhere in the world.
