Sommelier Food / / December 19, 2019
I want to go to restaurants and splurge on wine there - is no longer always the case. See the map in a glass bottle at the price and think about it once, but not any better to take a cup of coffee. There is a saving life hacking: bring your wine collection and pay cork drink legitimately.
What is cork collection and what he is good
Cork fee - a payment for a single bottle of wine that you bring to the restaurant to drink a in a pleasant environment. Now in the middle of Moscow, he is 500-1 000. With him a bottle of wine is cheaper than if you take it to the institution.
For example, a bottle, which is in the store costs about 1000 rubles, most Russian restaurants will cost you between $ 3000. So the 1 500-2 000 rubles for a wine collection and look quite humane.
Why enter the restaurant a cork fee
- Sometimes, establishment just opened and did not have time to get a license for alcohol. A dinner without wine, as you know, money. Therefore, allow guests to bring their - sometimes just enough to show the receipt from the purchase.
- Small pubs, and other hipster burgernym shaurmichnym not with his hands to keep the wine list and sommelier. Buy a lot of wine is not profitable, there is no place to store it, and visitors are increasingly serving beer and cider. But for those who like to eat a burger at his bottle of Shiraz they leave such a possibility for token money.
- Restaurateurs are sometimes allowed to bring your own alcohol companies from six people for banquets and corporate parties. People are happy, word of mouth starts working for the institution: go here, bunnies work here, and generally continuous usability and complete comfort.
