How does a bottle of wine appear on a steakhouse receipt?
A wine bottle appears as a single line item with the wine name, varietal, and bottle price: e.g. 'Red Wine – Cabernet Sauvignon: $85.00'. It is not broken down by glass because the entire bottle is sold as a single unit. Some fine dining receipts show the vintage year and vineyard name; others use a shorter descriptor. By-the-glass pours would appear as individual lines for each pour ordered. On this receipt, the $85.00 bottle is a significant portion of the $274.00 subtotal, typical of a steakhouse dinner for two.
Is a steakhouse receipt accepted for business meal expense reimbursement?
Yes, but with conditions. The IRS requires five pieces of information for business meal deductions: amount, date, place, business purpose, and name and relationship of attendees. A restaurant receipt proves the amount and date; you must attach a note with the business purpose and guest name. Steakhouse receipts for large amounts ($75+) must be kept as original documentation, a credit card statement alone is not sufficient. Many employers require the original itemized receipt (not just the credit card slip) for meal expenses.
