we have a sliding scale for wine - 1, 2 and 3 with guests deciding whether they're top or lower end consumers of wine. It works well as those who don't drink can become fed up of subsidising those who drink a lot then have a free lift home!

For house wine in a restaurant?
Evening all, and will be interested in your feed back on this one! 
Yet again, I have been tasked with organising our Christmas "do", at a restaurant in a nearby town. If everyone goes, we will be a party of around 24.
We went there last year, food was very good, as was service and the menu is designed as sharing platters, (Italian) rather than that problematic pre ordering thing. Price per head was ok too.
But I was a bit 
at the price of the house wine!
So, bearing in mind that there is usually a mark up of around 100%, what would you expect to pay for common or garden house plonk?
