BTW. It appears the consensus is to tip on the total bill. We generally have a bottle of wine with dinner. Are you guys really tipping the wait staff 20 euro to open and pour a $100 bottle of wine?!?

First of all, I'm not tipping 20% on the French side, because the service is included. My *tip* is around 5% of the check, regardless of the composure of that check. If I'm buying a $100 bottle of wine, $5 is insignificant.
