This has been bothering me for a while now. In the US, when ordering
an expensive bottle of wine, do you include that in your usual 15-20 %
tip? I've had people tell me they do and they don't.
I can understand if you order a $50.00 bottle, it's not a big deal,
but if you spend more than, say, $ 150.00 or so, should you really
have to give the waiter that extra 30 bucks? What about a 400 dollar
bottle? Does the waiter really expect an 80 dollar cut? Or is it
acceptable just to tip on the food? Anyone?

Rule I have heard for fine restaurants: 20% on food, 10% on wine.
