You just think that because you're cheap
The way I see it, you're still going to come out cheaper than if you bought wine from them
10 dollar fee for 2 people to drink byob wine is acceptable IMO
Correct. Even though many times you are incorrect.

$10 is an absolute price gouge. I don't think the rate can be defended

I have no problem with a corkage fee. But if I was just starting a restaurant and was waiting on my license I would not charge a glass fee. I just thing it's a better move from a customer relations standpoint to let people bring their wine since I can't provide it.

Well I think it is the money you are concerned about not the principle. If you have ever dined out you would know of the existence of corkage fees and the reason behind them. First $10 is probably the industry average and it goes up from there. Second some restaurants cannot get the proper zoning to get a liquor license which is true in New Orleans and a lot of other large metropolitan areas. Regardless of circumstance, ie..waiting on a license or zoning does not allow for one, you as a diner, should inquire. If not comfortable then you should dine elsewhere. I bring wine to the same type of place on a regular basis. The reason may be a particular bottle I want or they don't serve wine or they don't have a wine I like. I go in knowing for the most part I'm going to pay $10-$15 a bottle and accept that. I also pay tax and tip on it as well. I also will bump my tip up some because the waiter would make more had I bought the wine in house.
Don't complain. It is a very common practice and you should take it upon yourself to be educated in this.
