I've only seen it in practice when someone is throwing a large party and wants to bring their own cheaper wine. It can even be the exact same wine.

Paying the full restaurant markup on the wine can be excessive if you hold a wedding for 70 people and if you can find it much cheaper from tax free or bulk purchase. It would still make sense to pay the corkage fee then.
