"The house pour Cab Sav has a wholesale cost of $3/bottle, and you're going to pay $8/glass," user and restaurant consultant David Williamson said.
In urban areas though, that $8 per glass average creeps up to $12 to $14, making the wholesale difference even more painful.

When I worked for Marriott, the bars had two different liquors. The brand names on the shelf and the bar liquor which was generally served unless a patron requested shelf liquor for which the paid more. The bar liquor was between $2.60 and $3.50 per bottle.
