Agreed. It's the percentage markup that I notice. I'm not offended by a 100% markup but in the OP's example I'd expect that $3 wine to be the house carafe wine and priced accordingly. We're just back from 12 days in Italy and enjoyed some quite pleasant vino di casa for no more than 6 Euros a half liter.
