List of restaurants in Manila and their wine corkage fees and policies

Manila restaurants stir up ill feelings with inconsistent implementation of wine policies and corkage fees charges as more and more customers bring their own bottle of wine when dining out. Irritation often turns to anger in some restaurants.

Wine has become an integral part of the dining scene in the Philippines as affluence reaches the population of major cities like Manila, Cebu, Angeles city, Subic and Clark Pampanga. Wine’s popularity has caught many restaurants in Manila by surprise. Even the best restaurants in Manila, Cebu and Pampanga are making a mad rush to upgrade their restaurants wine lists to avoid losing regular customers to competitors who offer a more interesting wine selection to their clientele.

In the meantime while the restaurants in Pampanga and Manila are still struggling to meet the demands and expectations of their customers, wine lovers turn to bringing their own bottle of wine when dining in a good restaurant in Manila. This B Y O B (Bring Your Own Bottle) practice has spread quickly as more and more people in the Philippines take advantage of low or zero tax and duties for wines in neighboring countries to bring home a few bottles of good vintage wines when they travel to Hong Kong and Singapore.

Most restaurants in Manila, Pampanga and Cebu charge a corkage fee for every bottle of wine that the customer ask the establishment to serve. Wine corkage charges have been known to cause friction and ill feelings with customers against restaurants in Manila. Manila residents often check the wine corkage fees when dining out in Manila, basing their choice of restaurants on the amount of money that a restaurant would charge them as wine corkage fees for the bottles of wines that they will bring in to the dining establishment.

Leading wine supplier in the Philippines, Yats Wine Cellars is well regarded by wine lovers not only for its fine collection of vintage wines but also for its efforts in promoting the wine lifestyle to the communities in Manila, Pampanga, Subic, Clark and Cebu.
