Fancier places will also accept a BYOB; present your bottle to the Maître d' at the door, and they'll add a 'corking fee' to the bill, usually about $10 or more. If the person at the door holds the title of Host or Hostess, YMMV.

Also note that there is no American equivalent to Australian BYOB. If you bring in your own bottle of wine and ask to be served it, you will probably get a laugh, a stare of incomprehension, a polite escort to the door, or all three. Fancy restaurants here make a big chunk of their profits on ridiculous markups on wine---$30 for a bottle you can buy for $10 in a grocery store, etc. Alex _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
