For Immediate Release: CorkageFee App Launches in the UK

Helping Wine Lovers Find BYOW, Bring Your Own Wine, Restaurants and More

United Kingdom — CorkageFee, the popular restaurant guide for wine enthusiasts, has officially launched in the UK. The app, designed to help users find restaurants that allow them to bring their own wine, now features a directory of restaurants, wineries, wine clubs, and businesses selling wine-related products and services in the UK.

The food and wine scene in the UK used to center around the multicultural city of London. In the past, London may have been known for its high-end, internationally renowned restaurants and slightly uppity taste in wine. But in recent years, you will notice a change to increase accessibility of wine offerings and great food to the masses. You might even see that London isn’t the ONLY place to get great food and wine in the UK. Places like Pizzeria Mozza in London and The Outsider Restaurant in Edinburgh are great examples! Tourists and locals alike can enjoy the diverse and welcoming food and wine scene of the UK.

With CorkageFee, users can easily search for BYOW policies at local restaurants, as well as browse promotions and specials listed by the establishments themselves. By paying a low annual fee, restaurants can gain access to a valuable source of potential customers, who may otherwise opt to stay home instead of visiting a restaurant that doesn’t serve their preferred wine.

“We are excited to bring CorkageFee to the UK and help wine lovers discover new dining experiences and businesses,” said Adrian Esquivel, Founder of CorkageFee. “Our app is designed to be a community where users can share corkage fees and reviews, and we believe this will be a valuable resource for both customers and businesses.”

In addition to the directory, CorkageFee also offers features such as the ability to call, get directions, and search for nearby wine shops or wineries.

CorkageFee was developed by TECKpert, a Miami-based technology consulting and staff augmentation firm. The app is available for free on the Apple app store.

Corkage Fee Per Bottle

Corkage fees have become a common practice among restaurants, but many diners may not fully understand how these fees work. It is important to note that most restaurants charge a corkage fee per bottle brought in by patrons. This means that if you bring two bottles of wine to a restaurant, you will be charged double the corkage fee.

The cost of a corkage fee can vary greatly, with some restaurants charging as little as $5 per bottle and others charging $50 or more. Factors that influence the cost of a corkage fee include the reputation and prestige of the restaurant, the quality and cost of the wine being brought in, and the local market.

It is also worth noting that some restaurants do not charge a corkage fee at all. For these establishments, waiving the fee is seen as a way to attract loyal, wine-loving customers. Others may have specific nights or promotions where they waive the corkage fee to encourage diners to visit during slower periods.

In recent years, some high-end restaurants have started offering wine storage as an added perk for their patrons. This involves the restaurant storing a customer’s wine collection on site, allowing them to have access to their favorite bottles whenever they dine at the restaurant. This can be seen as a major commitment device, as customers are more likely to choose a restaurant where they have invested in wine storage. When deciding on a restaurant to store your wine, be sure to ask to tour the location and make sure it meets your requirements. 

If you are interested in exploring the world of corkage fees and wine dining, the CorkageFee app is a great resource to use. This community-driven platform allows users to search for restaurants that allow corkage, leave reviews, and connect with other wine enthusiasts. Whether you are a seasoned wine collector or just starting to explore the world of wine, the CorkageFee app can help you make the most of your dining experience.

In conclusion, corkage fees per bottle are a common practice among restaurants. When planning ahead, remember that the corkage fee quoted is per bottle. Some restaurants may waive the corkage fee to attract loyal customers, while others may offer wine storage as a commitment device. The CorkageFee app is a great resource for wine enthusiasts to explore the world of wine dining and connect with others who share their passion. Download today!
