There have been many times that wine enthusiasts have wanted to bring their own bottle of wine to a restaurant but it was forbidden. One of the main reasons consumers enjoy having this option available is so they can indulge on delicious food at their favorite restaurant and enjoy their favorite wine as well. Many restaurants worldwide are becoming increasingly comfortable offering their guests the BYOB option. But many consumers still wonder why they should consider it in the first place.
- It allows you the freedom to choose a specific wine that is special to you. For example, you may be celebrating a milestone birthday at your favorite restaurant and you have the perfect bottle of wine in your collection for the occasion. The restaurant you have chosen may not offer that style of wine. The BYOB option allows you to do so.
- You may belong to a wine of the month club where you enjoy receiving specific bottles of wine to try at a discounted price. The restaurant of your choice may not offer the wine you desire and therefore provides you with the option to bring your own.
- Special occasions such as a marriage proposal is one of the most popular reasons consumers enjoy having the BYOB option. You are able to celebrate this special life event with the bottle of wine or Champagne of your choice.
- Another popular reason consumers should consider BYOB options is if the restaurant they are going to does not offer the vintage, style or year of wine they prefer. Restaurants usually have an extensive wine list available for their guests to choose from, but that special wine may not be an option. The BYOB option will allow the guest to bring the bottle of choice.
When bringing your own bottle of wine to a restaurant it is wise to contact the restaurant before your arrival to see if they offer the BYOB option. Also inquire about any special fees that might be involved and if they have a specific procedure in place for you to follow. Most restaurants are happy to offer their patrons the BYOB option.
