As a leading importer of wines in the Philippines, Yats Wine Cellars also play an important role in promoting the wine lifestyle in Manila and Pampanga. Wine lovers who buy wines in Manila or Pampanga sometimes encounter difficulties finding a good restaurant to enjoy these wines with good food. Corkage fees and a general negative attitude displayed by restaurants against customers who bring their own wines deter wine and food lovers from doing so.

Promoting BYOB is one of the many things that Yats Wine Cellars does to increase the wine appreciating population in Manila. In Pampanga, fine dining Yats Restaurant and Wine Lounge which is generally regarded as the best restaurant outside of Manila, offers a BYOB dinner each week to enable wine lovers to bring their own bottles and share with other wine and food lovers over a fine meal. Corkage fees are waived.
