Here's one full tip is posted about the bottles of wine being a better deal than by the glass
My colleague Mike told me about this before we left, and he was right. Glasses of wine in the dining room can be expensive – in the $15 range. However, if you know that you want wine every night and don’t mind the same wine for two nights or more in a row, buy a bottle. At the end of the meal, your waiter marks the cork with your table number, takes it away, and then brings it back the next night for you to finish. Since we had only two drinkers (my wife and I), this worked better than the RC Wine Plan, where the fewest number of bottles you can buy is five. The per bottle cost of the Wine Plan is less than we paid, but we couldn’t have possibly drunk five bottles in a week.
