Hotel corkage - whats the average????

Hi I think ive more or less finished haggling with my hotel on things but the sparkling wine corkage is still annoying me as it seems really high @10 euro per bottle? Esp. when i hear other 4 stars in same town allowing people bring in brandy for drinks reception corkage FREE and onlu charging 2 euro per bottle of wine? What are you girls paying - im hoping this might calm me down a tad????

We paid €10 per bottle!

Most local hotels around me are FOC - other are €6-7 per bottle.

Ours is €7.00 for sparkling wine. We haven't tried haggling yet as not sure we will be doing a toast drink but if we do then I will try and haggle down.

Our hotel is €10 per bottle wine & champage and they won't budge on it

We paid €10 a bottle. It was worth it though as we got our wine very cheaply and it worked out cheaper than going for the venue's wines and bubbly. I think DH worked out we saved about €300 bringing our own wine, so it worked well for us.

Great thanks for the replys girls .. the difference between hotels is crazy!!

Our hotel arent charging corkage. Do all hotels usually charge for it?

Our hotel is free
