wine pronunciation
Can someone help me with the pronunciation of these beers/drinks?

Ok, I just started as a waitress at a sports bar so I’ll be serving drinks. I’m only 18 (yeah, they usually don’t hire that young so I have a lot to prove) and I have a somewhat limited knowledge of alcoholic beverages.

Here are some of the beers we have on draft that I cannot pronounce:
-Bass (Is it pronounced base, like the guitar-like instrument, or bass, like the fish?)
-Mich Ultra… just double checking that it’s pronounced “mic”. Correct?
-Guiness (Is it pronounced GINESS or JINESS? And is the emphasis in the first or second syllable?)

Wines (definitely know nothing about these)
-Chardonnay is ‘shar-don-ay’ right?
-piesporter… how do you pronounce that one?
-Zinfandel… how do you pronounce that?
-Sauvignon… I’m stuck with this pronunciation.

Mich – yeah, like “mick”
Guiness… “gin-iss” (hard g, not jin-ess) emphasis on the 1st
Chardonnay – shar-don-nay
(no idea on piesporter, sorry)
Zinfandel – “zin-fan-del”, emphasis on 1st (sometimes people shorten this one down to “zin” as is “white zin”
Sauvignon – “soh-vee-nyohn”, emphasis on 1st
