If ladies carry their own wine from the steamer to a lodging-house, and drink it there, or offer it to their friends, they are charged "corkage."
"Manners and Social Usages"
Mrs. John M. E. W. Sherwood
As for the dentist, he collects the fixed charge for stumpage and corkage and one thing and another and you come away with a feeling in the side of your jaw like a vacant lot.
"Cobb's Anatomy"
Irvin S. Cobb
I have feasted copiously at grand hotels where they charge you corkage on your own hot-water bottle, and I have dallied frugally with the forty-cent table d'hote with wine, when the victuals were the product of the well-known Sam Brothers-Flot and Jet-and the wine tasted like the stuff that was left over from graining the woodwork for a mahogany finish.
