The 2nd worst wine on the BA F wine list often falls into this category, too

Most restaurants make no effort to find wine that pairs well with the food. This bothers me more than the markup! I'd be ecstatically happy to pay $50 for a bottle of wine that went well with a particular dish, even if I knew that wine cost $5 a bottle retail. After all if you are worried about the profit margin and markup, the best defence is to stay dry. Otherwise eat, drink and enjoy, regardless of how outrageous or inedible it is.
