by the glass

Ok WC, Rick didn't take your bait, so I will bite. Why is it that restaurants charge $6.00 for a glass of wine from a bottle that they paid $10 for? And how is it that a $10 bottle from a wine shop, at the restaurant costs you $20 or more?? It stinks to pay so much extra for a wine just because someone else is pulling the cork. When I worked in a restaurant, there were certain things we charged more for because they were high waste items, but I don't see how a bottle of wine would fit in that category. I know its all about dollars and cents, but why do they need such a high profit margin. Is there anyone out there that knows why this is neccessary??
