I mean, this is why restaurants charge corkage, which for people who don't know, if you want to bring your own wine to a restaurant, I personally never do it.
But, you know, they will charge you for that.
And it's because they're losing the sale and it's that important of a sale.
Right.
So that's where that comes from.
In certain restaurants, I think people are spending that kind of money, you know, in a city like New York and in a city like Chicago.
It's certainly in the Napa Valley at some of the restaurants there.
You know, there are people, customers who are very knowledgeable about wine and who happen to be worth an awful lot of money and a couple of thousand dollars for a bottle of wine, just something that they don't feel at all really in the big picture.
