So you're ok with giving a waiter $200 to open a $1000 bottle of wine just as you would be ok with giving the same waiter $20 to open a $100 bottle the same way with the same cork screw?

Yes but because I build the tip into the cost of the wine before I order it. Not too hard to realize a 1000 dollar bottle is really 1200. If you can't justify that in your mind don't order it. Stop at the liquor store on the way home

No, but I do tip on alcohol, unlike the person to whom I was responding.
I also recognize that tipping for bottles of bud at a dive bar carries a different tipping standard than having a cocktail at an upscale place or eating in a Michelin starred restaurant. Just as I wouldn't slip the dive bar bartender a $20 for opening my bottle of bud, I also wouldn't insist on the dive bar tipping standards at those other places.
