There are many things we have done since starting the Foodbarn; one that we are exceptionally proud of is ensuring a very reasonable wine list. Knowing what restaurants pay for wine, we are often quite disullusioned when we eat out by the prices that some restaurants get away with. This has often caused us to question this strategy of keeping our wine prices so reasonable … but are glad that we have stuck to our guns. So, it is with great interest that we read a debate in the media (http://goo.gl/O9BLP) lately about the exorbitant prices of wines in some restaurants. The prices also differ so greatly from restaurant to restaurant that you may find yourself paying almost double in some places in comparison to others. While it is true that not all suppliers charge the same for wine, we as an industry need to get real … How is it possible that some restaurants charge R125.00 for a bottle of wine that they paid R30.00 for? We challenge anyone to justify this.
