I think I have paid $10 corkage before but was kind shocked by $22. On the other hand, if we pay for a couple of glasses of wine I could be up to $22 quite easily. I'm actually kind of okay with the corkage fee after getting over the initial shock.

Is $22 a bit much?
Depends on the restaurant of course but in a major city this would be very acceptable.
