Tipping for drinks at dinner

When you sit at a bar, tipping $1 for a drink is kind of the standard.
So, if you're having dinner, and say, a couple bottles of wine among four people. Each bottle provides about six glasses for a total of twelve glasses. So, that would be a $12 tip.
But what if the bottles are $85 each? A 20% tip would be $34. If they are $120 bottles, a 20% tip would be $48.
So, do you tip on the "per drink" standard, or the total of the wine bill. The server does no more or no less than would be done sitting at the bar.

If you can't afford to tip, don't go out to eat or drink, simple as that. Bring on the downvotes.

You don't tip on the booze at a table. The server does no extra work whether I order a $20 bottle or a $200 bottle. $1-2/ drink if you order at the bar.

If you have to ask you don't need to patronize places you can't afford to tip at junior.

Yes, the percentage based tip can get a bit out of whack when ordering expensive bottles of wine... but I still just tip based on a percentage rather than figure out a percentage of the food and then however many dollars per servings of wine.

I realize tipping is a chore, but the amount of effort that goes into avoiding a standard 18-20% tip is ridiculous

On the tip line I usually write "here's a tip, get a real job"

tip at least 18-20% on total bill. it's easier that way and the server probably has to pay a certain percentage to the bar and bus staff based on their total sales.

Must be some tiny glasses.

Yes, the standard in 1996, unless you're in some backwoods dive bar.

Typical gratuity for wine and spirits at a high-end place is 8-10%.
ETA: If you know exactly what the frick you want, then you can probably justify more, but like as not, someone is giving you good advice on pairings.

6 glasses of wine per bottle? You guys must be drinking the gallon bottles of screw-top Mogen David.....

The server has to tip the bar a certain percentage to the bar based on the bar sales no matter what you tip. Where i worked it was 8%. So if you only drink alcohol all night and tipped 10% your server is making 2% tips.
Don’t be cheap.

20% and leave it at that.
If you buying multiple $120 bottles of wine at dinner, are you really worried about the tip?
