Bottles of wine at restaurants
Bottle of wine at Olive Garden: $23 and up
Restaurants often markup bottle prices at least 300 percent from their wholesale costs, according to wine and beverage site VinePair — just one of many crazy restaurant markups. A bottle of Sutter Home White Zinfandel that retails for $4.79 will cost you $23 at Olive Garden — nearly five times its worth. You can often save money on wine by bringing your own bottle.
