Highly skilled labor, you. ^
Sorry to take it OT, but I've never understood the concept of tipping more for a more expensive bottle of wine (i.e., you pay a percentage of the bill as the tip). Kind of the same way that you pay more in fuel surcharges for a seat on BA in F than you do in Y. Same level of work, widely varying amounts.

Oh, I tip 18-20% at restaurants and don't drink wine, so I have no skin in the game.
