concuding all the comments, let's change place la.
Dejavu, shall u give any suggestion?  
any suggestion from other brothers?

I would recommend Mirepoix at Wyndham Street.  Perfect place for oiur ocassion as they serve the dinner slowly.   And the ambience was excellent.  They charge $100 corkage but in the whole scheme of things, it's nothing.  You can also offset this corkage against the juice, mineral water consumption.

They renovated a while ago, and I don't know whether they re-open or not but I can check.

Sun Kee is very expensive at the new place.

$100 per bottle or for all bottles?

You drink a $1,000 bottle of wine and you worry about the $100 corkage?  I'd rather get something decent - decent place, decent food, and decent wine glass.

You make sure this one is good.  The corkage is a non-factor.

I hope the Chinese name is not 酒•池肉林 or something like that.

In my humble opinion, money should be spent on the right way. It is not the problem of the amount. I am a poor guy but many of my friends is well off. Most of them spend their money very very carefully, sometimes very mean. I am so curious. Their explanation is that it is very hard to earn money but is very easy to waste money.

Well, I never argued with restaurant on corkage as long as it's reasonable, as I think they forgo the profit they would otherwise get from the patrons' wine consumption, and they do spend a lot of effort in serving you, the provision of wine glasses and its cleaning ....  I am a poor guy but I am a fair guy too.  Of course I would welcome restaurant waiving the corkage but i won't go out of my way to ask for a waiver.

If we were to order the same $1,000 wine from the restaurant, how much would their markup be.

Yung 記 or 生記 la.

1. 生記
2. 榕記
3. Mirepoix
4. Bonheur
5. La Fleur Bistro (WanChai)

我又講下先
其實我覺得corkage係應該俾既
人地舖頭買杯洗杯都要成本
俾返d都好reasonable

不過corkage收幾多就好睇個地方同service
你收得錢不過用宜家d杯
仲要全晚得一隻杯無得換就唔得
又或者收幾舊水不過d侍應乜q都唔識就又係唔掂 (e.g. kee club!!!)
相反唔收錢仲有riedel杯既話咪可以當有賺囉

吹完水, 講返實際d, 我個人覺得Mirepoix收$100都可以接受
如果唔介意遠少少可以去柴灣Le Mieux, 真係唔收corkage又有riedel杯
Bonheur 同 La Fleur 都唔收corkage, 不過地方就差少少

生記 should be ruled out for failing in these catagories - decent place, decent wine glasses.

While their foods are decent, the place is noisy and rushed, wine glasses are those you'd find in $10 shops.

No, that was only my preference.  You guys might have other ideas.

My #1 priority is that it should have a clean toilet.

Don't get me wrong, I like 生記 a lot.  Just that it may not be the right place for a leisurely wine gathering.

Last time, Yung Kee 4th floor was great.  

Just add all names to the list and vote later:

1. 生記
2. 榕記
3. Mirepoix
4. Bonheur
5. La Fleur Bistro (WanChai)
6. Le Mieux

好!! 咁如果serve wine well, 100 corkage is not a problem!!
咁Mirepoix啦!!
la fleur 得唔得ga?
