I tip on wine, I also tip on corkage...but I do follow the rule of tipping on half the cost of the wine when it exceeds $200.
I never expect a tip for helping a person choose a wine. I love what I do, and frankly speaking, guiding someone to enhance their dining experience through moving them a into a bottle of wine, which, brings them the most happiness, is the entire reason behind doing what i do.
I want to earn peoples trust by anticipating each and everyone of their needs.
I don't receive money from the staff, on occasion from the guest, but primarily i am paid by salary.</font>
