While some restaurants offer guests a wine menu to showcase their many drink options, others allow guests to bring their own bottle of wine (also known as BYOB). Corkage fees are typically found in casual dining and fine dining restaurants, encouraging guests to select a bottle from the restaurant, instead of bringing their own.  Corkage fees could be tricky for both guests and restaurants.

All this bean bias notwithstanding, I myself love lentils.
