Wine Wednesday, half-price bottles and other midweek deals

Wednesday is the day a lot of restaurants move wine. Half-price bottles and discounted glasses are common enough that many menus just call it Wine Wednesday. The catch is that bottle deals are often dine-in only and sometimes exclude the reserve list, so the venue card is worth a look before you plan a night around one.
