Agreed. But I also see a breathtaking sense of entitlement that it’s just fine to bring your own wine to a restaurant. Why not take along a couple of steaks from your local farm shop too and get the chef to cook them for you as well?As Leon says, go somewhere else - or don't BYO. The pomposity and indication that corkage is offered under sufferance tell you that.
If I was a restaurateur that had put time and effort and money into building a wine list I was proud of I would have absolutely zero interest in letting people bring their own wine (other than to a ‘wine event’ as Tom B said earlier). The whole corkage thing for a normal meal out with your partner or friends is just a little bit gauche for me.
