I understand the markup and all, but I almost hope most places wouldn't extend the markup rates to glasses like that. But then some of these fine restaurants charge $5 for a Yuengling, so it wouldn't surprise me. I don’t think I would pay $15 for a glass of something I can buy at store for $20.

It should really be around $15. Let me explain: For a $20 bottle, most restaurants apply a 3X markup (and sometimes 4!), meaning they would sell that bottle for $60. Now, most restaurants also count a bottle as having 4 glasses. So.... 60/4=$15. Something to think about. Dan–if you are paying $10 for a glass of wine from a $20 bottle, that is a true bargain!
