I find I tend to be willing to pay quite a bit more at a restaurant. Most restaurants charge anywhere form 100-300% over retail, so that $20 bottle is going to start at $40 and more likely be $50+. They get me because I want a good bottle when I'm dining out. I do try to look for the most reasonably priced wines. I'm sure you've noticed typically that the more recognized wines carry the heavier mark-ups.

I guess my question is more from the other direction. I have a hard time going anywhere near the restaurant price limit when I'm shopping. Can never seem to go over $30 retail. Can't remember the last time I spent $60 on a retail wine and I've done it many times in a restaurant.

I am starting to loosen up on the mailing list purchases. I guess part of the reason is because if I'm going to pay the shipping I don't want to waste it on the cheaper offerings. And getting the package is like Christmas in July.
