Ayyyy I do this a lot if I don’t know the place. I’ve spent a lot of time and effort figuring out what I like and have a collection to match my preferences.
If they have the styles and regions I like I order off menu, if not I got mine. $30 corkage is reasonable for a decent restaurant, I know a dive bar that does $10 and a bunch of us go there for snacks and to bust out bottles to share.
So like… you are pro paying to go to a place, bringing your own alcohol, paying an additional fee to bring said alcohol, and then also ostensibly paying for every dumb fuck guy you’ve forced to accompany you there instead of just inviting people over to your house?
I personally wouldn’t do it, but you seem unfamiliar with the concept of letting people enjoy things they like. And the concept of friends, too, judging by that last comment.
Seriously… wishing death on a person for such a trivial thing is absolutely psychotic. Go seek help.
It’s a fee for them to serve the drinks you supplied on their premises. You don’t get to use their premises and wait staff for free just because you supplied the drinks.
The absolute BALLS you need to go into a place that likely has a dress code and slam a box of wine on the table when they ask what you’d like to drink.

All good bottles should be shared.
Please die as soon as possible you ghoul.
Edit: you know no one you personally know likes you right?
You ok? That got to a ten really fast.
13 and angry mommy and daddy don’t love you? Or just an angry internet loser?

I’m guessing someone who was failed by the American Healthcare System by being prescribed mood stabilizers they cant afford.
You’re a kinder soul than I lol
Seek therapy.
So if I’m following you correctly, you bring a bottle to a restaurant and pay them to pull the cork and I guess give you glasses?
It’s a fee for them to serve the drinks you supplied on their premises. You don’t get to use their premises and wait staff for free just because you supplied the drinks.
You are already paying for the food, aren’t you?
So it isn’t free.
And you don’t need wait staff to open your own bottle either.
You know there are costs associated with serving alcohol in an establishment right?
Also, a lot of bars and restaurants make nearly zero margin on their food. They stay afloat with the sale of alcohol.
Going to the restaurant you pay the most for the place simply existing in time, space and rent.
Correct
Not always, it’s just a fee for brining your own wine.
And chill and decant if they’re fancy.
Protip, boxed wine doesn’t have a cork, so they can’t charge you for de-corking it.
That’s where the little known “goon bag” fee comes in.
The absolute BALLS you need to go into a place that likely has a dress code and slam a box of wine on the table when they ask what you’d like to drink.
I’m in, there’s some under rated box wines out there.
I almost want to do it now.
Not even use a glass, just hoist the bitch up above my head and drink right from the spout.
No need to be uncivilized. Bring your finest solo cups.
