OET (OET-LV) and he_is_saying to_him:
Every person is_presenting first the good wine, and the lessor whenever they_may_be_being_drunk, you have_kept the good wine until now.
OET (OET-RV) and exclaimed, “Most people supply the best wine at the beginning of the reception, and the cheaper stuff when people are a bit tipsy. But you’ve kept the best wine until last!”
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / hyperbole
πᾶς ἄνθρωπος
every person
Every man here is an exaggeration that refers to something being a common practice. If this might confuse your readers, you could use an equivalent expression. Alternate translation: “A man usually”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / gendernotations
πᾶς ἄνθρωπος
every person
Although the term man is masculine, the head waiter is using the word here in a generic sense that includes both men and women. Alternate translation: “Every person”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
καὶ ὅταν μεθυσθῶσιν τὸν ἐλάσσω
and and whenever ˱they˲_/may_be/_being_drunk the lessor
This means that guests were given the cheaper wine, which is of lower quality and inferior flavor, after their senses had been dulled by drinking too much alcohol and were thus unable to tell that it was inferior wine. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “and the cheaper wine when they have become drunk and unable to discern the quality of the wine”
2:1–10:42 Jesus illustrated his identity and work through the institutions and festivals of Judaism (see 2:1; 5:1).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
