Casacluggo - I wouldn't dream of doing that in the UK so why would I do it in Turkey.    :)

Because you get the wine you want to drink.    ;)

Have you ever done that in the UK Jacqui ?

Possibly cannot remember, most of the places we have eaten over the last 40 years usually have some wine we like, but if I wanted a certain wine in Turkey and was disappointed that restaurants did not have it.  I would ask if I could pay for corkage.

Jacqui forgive me but if your favourite restaurant didn't have Gordons Gin you would take a bottle from the supermarket in and ask if you could pay corkage.

I brought my own bottle to a restaurant in Fethiye - and didn't even offer to pay corkage :o

They were fine about it - I had brought a duty free bottle of champagne to celebrate something or other.

I took the cork out myself anyway  ;)

Gordon's Gin is O.K but I am into the Craft Gins now and the don't have them in Turkey.
We did take our own French Champagne to my son' Wedding in Oludeniz for the toast and they agreed we could have it and did not charge corkage.   
I have also taken my own slimline tonic to restaurants in Calis and they are fine with that.
However,I am usually happy to have what is on offer on the wine list.  Often the house wine is fine.

I have bought Pepsi Max from shops next to bars/restaurants as they don't sell it, and they haven't charged me cappage.

My initial point was that Kavak WAS on the wine list.

I know it's not the original post but I must recommend Villa Doluca wines, particularly the better quality Klassic white (blend of Sultaniye and Semillon) and Neo red (a blend of bogazkere, Öküzgözü and kalecik karasi). Unusual blends but definitely the best cheaper wines widely available - and tested by my UK wine group!
