My boyfriend is an adamant 15%er, but as a former waitress my standard - and empathy - is closer to 20%.
 
Here's another question - when ordering a semi-expensive bottle of wine, do you include that in the % you're tipping? Say your meal is $50 and you buy a $100 bottle (or more)...if service was fine would you tip 15% or 20% on that $150? Or on less?
 
I rarely drink wine that lives in that price range (sniff, sniff) but this situation arose recently and I wasn't sure of the proper protocol.
 
Thanks.
