February 2007
Corkage is a fee a restaurant charges customers who bring their own wine to dinner. While it is said to be the fee for the restaurant staff opening and serving the wine, it is intended to offset the restaurant's loss of the sale of a bottle on their wine list. Most restaurants charge reasonable corkage fees, but it is highly advisable to call ahead and find out the exact amount. While the corkage fee should not exceed the price of an average bottle on the wine list, some restaurants can get bold with their fee. On occasion, a restaurant may waive the corkage fee if a bottle from the wine list is purchased.
