Can a server reseal a bottle of wine with its original screw cap for the customer to take home?

  1. Yes

  2. No

  3. Only if they do not drink it

  4. Depends on the venue

The correct answer is: No

The correct response is that a server cannot reseal a bottle of wine with its original screw cap for a customer to take home because the regulations surrounding alcohol service typically prohibit the removal or resealing of alcohol containers once they have been opened for consumption on the premises. This rule is in place to prevent overconsumption and ensure that alcoholic beverages are consumed responsibly within the controlled setting of the establishment. Allowing customers to take home opened bottles of wine would create a loophole in alcohol management laws, which are designed to maintain safe serving practices. Understanding the context, some venues may have specific policies in place regarding takeaway alcohol but the general regulation leans towards not permitting the resealing of opened containers. This ensures that establishments comply with legal norms and promote responsible service of alcohol.
