How To Save Money When You're Drinking Wine At A Restaurant

Most eateries offer wine options by both the bottle and glass, and especially if you're with a group, ordering a bottle is the more financially savvy choice.
Glasses technically cost more per pour because the opened bottle may not be finished. Thus, most restaurants price their glasses so that they won't be at a loss.
Additionally, by-the-glass options are typically cheaper bottles with a steeper markup, both to minimize risks and appeal to a larger crowd.
If sharing your meal with one or two more diners, splitting a bottle is much more feasible considering you're getting five standard sized pours for the price.
