Allows a customer to take one unsealed bottle of wine home from an on-premises wine licensee if they have purchased and consumed part of it, provided the bottle is properly recorked or resealed and a receipt is given.
If passed, licensees that sell alcohol for on-premises consumption may permit a customer to remove one unsealed bottle of wine for off-premises use after purchasing and drinking a portion on the premises. The bottle must be either recorked with the original or a similar cork (reinserted and removable only with a corkscrew) or securely resealed in a tamper-evident bag with a dated receipt. A resealed bottle is not considered open and is still subject to wine-related rules, with immediate effectiveness after governor approval.
