What is "corkage"?
Corkage refers to the amount of money a restaurant charges for serving wine brought in by the customer. This fee covers the cost of opening and serving the wine, as well as the use of the restaurant's glassware and facilities. It is a common thing in many dining establishments that allows people to enjoy their own wine selection while dining out, with an additional cost.
