A few wine related questions if you don't mind.

How integral is your wine program to the overall health of the restaurant?

Do you allow patrons to bring a special bottle of wine (for a corkage fee)?

If yes, is it an accomodation, or are you happy to see those patrons?

Does their welcome wear out if they do it often?

Thanks in advance for your time!

Well there's a lot of great wine lists in Vancouver, and part of our attraction at Ouest the wall of wine. Temperature controlled wall - air con vents which holds 5000 bottles.
According to the liquor laws in BC we are not allowed to let anyone bring in a bottle of wine as of now but there's a lot of changes (finally) due to arrive in the next few weeks.
