Katherine Bryant from Restaurant Business Magazine on BYOB etiquette:

• BYOB is also a great option for newer restaurants that may still be awaiting a liquor license.
  
• An appropriate cover for your bottle is important. Leave the brown bag at home.
  
• If you're bringing a white wine, don't be afraid to ask your server to keep it chilled.
  
• Corking fees range from $5-35.
  
• The fee covers the cost of service as well as use of the restaurant's glassware.
