Answers:
I ask her what her preference is, and I pass the wine list to her so she can see what is available. The idea is to choose a wine that you both will like.
If you have quite different tastes then choosing two half bottles, or wines by the glass are alternatives to buying one bottle to share.
Any man that doesn't consult his partner is a fool.
Other Answers:
The process tends to be a little male-centric, but...
It used to be red wine for red meat and white wine for fish. Nowadays...
You should already be familiar with her tastes. If in doubt, a rosé or champagne will be adequate.
The waiter will present the wine label-first to you. If you wish that one, nod acceptance. He will carefully uncork the wine and present you the cork, if it is a wood cork. Where we used to sniff the cork, now a veritable checklist of things you should be seeing on the cork happen instead (depending upon your desired level of uppityness). The waiter will pour a small amount in your glass. While the glass is flat on the table, swirl the glass causing the wine to cling to the side and evaporate and release bouquet. Sip it, roll it just a bit around the tongue. Swallow and detect the aftertaste. If it is suitable to you, then indicate that the waiter may now fill her glass.
It's funny how rewarding this process is when done correctly.

I think that if you have got a very good knowledge of wines, you can take care of the order and suggest to the lady the wine you think it's better with the food you ordered.
If you don't know wine at all, better to ask suggestions to the waiter... never risk to order the wrong wine!! You never know that the lady at your table is a wine lover;)
Ask your date if there is a particular wine she prefers... If you are unfamiliar with the wines in the restuarant you are dining in, ask the waiter. They should have a certain knowledge of what is in stock.
When the waiter brings over the bottle and presents it, be sure to check the label to ensure it is the same wine you ordered (there are mix ups on occasion, plus this shows her you pay attention to details). When he pours the wine gently lift it up to your nose to smell the wine. Then swirl the wine around the glass releasing the bouquet and the texture of the body (how the wine clings to the glass). Then sip and swirl in your mouth allowing to serste the wine and bring out the complex flavors.
If the wine is adequate nod at the waiter and he will our a glass for your date.
Be sure to taste for any "cork" that may be in the wine, this means the wine has spoiled and/or hasn't been stored correctly.

I'll pass on the ceremony, since the other posters described it so well. One aspect of etiquette they skipped - what to order.
Restaurants typically have a much larger selection of full bottles than they do of half bottles or wine by the glass.
So, if she orders shrimp in a delicate lime cream sauce and you order prime rib with extra horse radish, you are going to have problems ordering a wine you'll both like - unless you enjoy sauvignon blanc with your prime rib or you order two different wines by the glass.
So - consult, consult, consult. Read the wine list and the menu before you order. If she knows wine and they happen to have a great one, (and you can afford it) mention it. ("Look my dear, they have Opus 1. Shall we both order beef?")
If she doesn't know a thing about wine, she will probably like something light and sweet; a Rhine or a white zinfandel, for example. Grit your teeth and order one; with luck and further dates, you can educate her taste buds.
Let her see the wine list, and together you two should come up with two entrees and a wine that will complement each other.
