Title

Alcoholic beverages, wine, licensees may allow recorked or resealed bottle to be removed from premises, bottle not considered open in motor vehicle, manner of transportation specified, Sec. 28-3A-20.1 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, a licensee of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board may permit a customer to remove from the premises an unsealed bottle of wine provided the bottle of wine is either recorked or resealed in a bag under certain conditions. The existing law also provides that a bottle of wine recorked or resealed in compliance with the law is not considered open for the purpose of the law prohibiting an open container of alcoholic beverages in a motor vehicle.

This bill would delete the language in the existing law providing that a bottle of wine recorked or resealed in compliance with the law is not considered open and would specifically provide how recorked or resealed bottles of wine may be transported in a motor vehicle considering the type of storage space in the vehicle.
