English term or phrase: plate vs. course (of a meal)

"... the row of gleaming glasses before each plate signaled that Nick had chosen different wines to accompany each course."

Entendo que "course of a meal" é "prato de uma refeição". "Three-course meal" é uma "refeição com três pratos": https://www.linguee.com.br/ingles-portugues/traducao/three c...

A minha dúvida é o que fazer para evitar a repetição de "prato" (plate) e "prato" (course of meal). Provisoriamente, tenho isto:

"... a fileira de taças brilhantes diante de cada prato indicava que Nick escolhera vinhos diferentes para acompanhar cada prato."

A tradução é para PT-Br. Obrigado.

prato

Explanation:
Entendo que "plate" e "course" são equivalentes nesse caso, portanto sugiro traduzir o primeiro e omitir o segundo, da seguinte forma:

"... a fileira de taças brilhantes diante de cada prato indicava que Nick escolhera vinhos diferentes para acompanhar cada (um)."
