(Apr 18 07, 08:22yep. reading demonstrates you are capable of comprehending something. writing is something different, and i dont recall asking you to learn to write.

i'm pretty sure that if you go to a place where the house red is 120 bones, the schmuck who opens it for you is called a sommelier.

(Apr 18 07, 08:30)You don't need both. I'm sure a waiter or waitress can handle carrying a bottle of wine just fine.
It's like having a waiter bring out a glass of water and then having someone else bring out lemon.
Its dumb, inefficient, and expensive.

qruise, why did you have to pay $20 for a bottle to be brought to you?

ummm... a Sommelier is someone who suggests a wine to go with the meal normally, different then the server. Normally, you call them over, they might come over if they see you looking at the wine list, etc. They will bring the wine and do that little 'is it ok dance'... you know, show you the bottle (you should handle it to check temp), open the bottle and present the cork (you're looking for mold or oddities), pour a little in a glass for you to taste that it's not bad, not that you don't like it.
That is what you tip on, and if they have a sommelier then they are a finer establishment.

A sommelier doesn't just carry bottles to your table. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Som…
also, chances are most people will never dine at a restaurant with a sommelier anyway, so don't worry about it.
Also, since when do we pay people for how hard they work. If that was the case roofers would be driving a mercedes and models a toyota tercel.
We pay more for things that add to the luxury in our life.That being said, it's your money tip however you want.
I personally hate tipping a bartender for opening my beer, but I want it quick so I do.

Does it say how much you should tip when you order a box of wine, no glass?

you only tip if the sommelier holds the box above your open mouth for you to drink the wine

i've only interacted with a sommelier in a restaurant when i was choosing wine to go with something particular. i've never ever tipped one separately

(Apr 18 07, 08:35)I usually tip on the final amount of the check not on how many people danced around the table. It shouldn't really matter, they will split it at the end of the evening anyway
