Why buy a bottle from them? Wouldn't that defeat the purpose of avoiding paying $35 for a $12 bottle?
if you like the restaurant and want to support it you buy their wine. Alcohol sales is a large part of their profit margin. As others have said, either paying a corkage fee or buying a bottle from them is an acceptable alternative.
We on rare occasion bring a bottle, last one being to Bayona for my birthday. But, our non-wine purchases made up for the bottle we brought and did not get charged a corkage fee.

Yep.
We rarely bring our own wine, and when we do, it's something pretty damn special.
In that event, we'll buy a bottle of sparkling and/or white from their list while the red that we brought is in the decanter. Always offer a taste of mine to the somm and chef.
