re: On average, how much do you spend on a bottle of wine?

Yep, they know you are doing that too and they create the list accordingly (for better or worse depending on their motivation)
Wine margins at restaurants and bars are pretty wild. I get why, but sometimes the markup is hard to swallow at a nice enough place. Might as well be the a-hole paying the corkage fee.

I’m always on the lookout at small upscale restaurants that don’t get their reserve list cleared out frequently because they’re in seasonal tourist areas, etc. (but if their wine program is iffy then that comes with it’s own risks).

Wine markups at wine shops are insane. We have a favorite little vineyard in Tuscany. I was thrilled when I saw that a wine shop in Virginia now carries their wines. My happiness faded when I saw their price and realized I can order direct from the vineyard and pay their shipping fees and tariffs and come in landed at my doorstep at least $20-30 a bottle less that the wine shop sells it for. This is not an expensive wine. I get it from the vineyard for 20-50 euro a bottle depending on the age.

My buddy owns a wine bar. Markup isn't furniture or jewelry level, but up there.

At this point I know which restaurants in BR are raping me, and I order accordingly.
I don’t mind Turnbull at my regular wine spot because it’s $70/bottle (compared to just below $60 in stores) and I go often enough to only get charged wholesale price of like $40.
I mind it in other spots that charge $110 or something.
We probably get majorly screwed when we order something we aren’t as familiar with price wise on “splurge” nights, but it is what it is.
