Corkage fees at ambitious restaurants ensure guests don’t bring their own wines to save money, which is the wrong thing to do. High-end dining (and high-end drinking) should be a curated experience; if you want a collaborative experience, then go to a pot luck at The Knights of Columbus.

The Price Hike’s Ryan Sutton (that’s me) chats about corkage fees with Eater’s Talia Baiocchi. I’m not entirely opposed to bringing wines to high-end restaurants, but diners should be careful to respect the individual wine culture of each venue, and one certainly shouldn’t bring a wine to an ambitious spot to “save money.” (Source: Eater National).
