Ridiculous price of wine at Greyhound in Bluport
Yesterday my wife had a glass of wine at the Greyhound restaurant in Bluport. It was the house wine, a cheap Chardonnay. The cost was 290++ Baht, a total cost of 339.30 Baht. It was less than half full. I am sure the Greyhound bought the whole bottle for less than that. If you compare this to Wine Connection where you can buy a full bottle of a good Chardonnay for 460-500 Baht (550-500 Baht including taxes & service) then I know I won't be visiting the Greyhound again!

It's the same at any upscale restaurant anywhere in the world. 1 full glass pays for the bottle. It's one way to compensate for the losses in the restaurant business.HarryVardon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 25, 2018 2:02 pm Yesterday my wife had a glass of wine at the Greyhound restaurant in Bluport.

Wine glasses are not filled so the wine can "breathe" and the flavor develop.

I'm a happy wine camper at the moment. In Italy, cheap, cheap good reds

I certainly wouldn't call the Greyhound anywhere near upscale!!!!!
Re: Ridiculous price of wine at Greyhound in Bluport
I mean... the prices are on the menu, are they not? And is said menu not displayed at the entrance to the restaurant?

Greyhound Café is a chain of restaurants, popular with those Bangkokians that can afford it. The one near me in Thonglor has just had a major makeover and has basically doubled in size. The only thing I really like there are the fresh fruit drinks.

Agree. Maybe call it, just casual, a notch above a basic place that provides AC, and proper silverware.....HarryVardon wrote: ↑Thu Oct 25, 2018 6:20 pm I certainly wouldn't call the Greyhound anywhere near upscale!!!!!
Silly price for wine though, and yes, wine glasses always half full or less. Larger glasses a plus of course.
