We want to walk around restaurants (winter holidays for that and invented), and spent on wine - no longer always. What to take, not very clear, prices inspire horror. Comrades from Invisble talk about savous life: bring your wine, we pay cork harvest and drink your not from under the floors, but completely legal.
What is a cork fee?Cork Fee is a small fee (on average in Moscow 300-500 rubles, at the discretion of the owner of the institution) for the bottle of alcohol, which you bring with you to a restaurant to open in a pleasant atmosphere.What is it good for?First of all, the fact that bringing your bottle and pay for it the collection is much cheaper than taking the same in the institution. Capitalism sharks screw the restaurant for wine several times. For example, a bottle that is in retail costs about 1000 rubles, most Russian restaurants will cost you in the amount of 3000. So 1500 for wine and fee - look very humane.
Why can the restaurant solve the cork fee?>> It happens, the establishment only has opened and did not have time to obtain a license for alcohol. And dinner without wine, as we know - money for the wind. Therefore, guests allow to bring their own - sometimes enough just show a check from the purchase.
>> Small pubs, burger and other hipster shawls, not with the hands of holding a wine card and sommelier - buy a lot of wine is not profitable, it's not enough to store him, and let visitors get more and more to beer and cider. But for lovers to sentence the burger under the bottle of their shiraz, they are supposed to leave this opportunity for symbolic money.
>> Restaurateurs are sometimes allowed to bring their alcohol to companies from 6 people, banquets and corporate countries. In this profit, they will not lose (Gorazda Gorazda company), but looks like this, as if the restaurant seeks to provide guests comfort and convenience.
Where can I come with your alcohol?We called not one dozen metropolitan restaurants and realized that in many about traffic taxes or do not know anything, or without explanations persevene in the ban on their alcohol. The majority responds to the question of the cork assembly are also very arrogant.
It seems that the phrase "come with your wine" fantasy of the restaurants immediately draws Orava Marginals, scotching in a cozy cafe with a drawer of a boat. About normal guests who want to drink a bottle of beloved wine, perhaps in their beloved restaurant, nobody thinks for some reason. Although - what could be easier, let's enter the cork fee, let it be high, give customers to understand that they are going to meet them, because they will still spend the dinner in the institution.
Especially surprised by the ban on its wine in these places: Saxon + Parole, Boston Seafood & Bar, Corner, Aq Kitchen, Bar Strelka, Delicatessen and Jamie's Italian (Even interesting, are Jamie?).

The cork fee is an unstable thing, and its size depends only on the will of the owner of the institution. Some places can, for example, finally, having received a license for alcohol, to prevent guests to bring their guests at all.
In general, the cork fee is a chance not only to save, but also to treat friends with loved wine and drink something that I want, and I haven't been talking to someone else's uncle on nicknamed "Sommelier." We hope for opportunities for this in Moscow will become more.
