Left Over Burgundy for Rover

New York diners may soon get to bring home more than just a receipt and a stomach full of food at the end of their meals. If a newly proposed bill is approved, they will also be able to bring home any unfinished wine.

That's shocking. I mean it's almost earth shaking to read about wine related legislation that actually might make some sense and favor the consumer. Of course it will also help the industry by making it a bit more attractive to order a bottle in a restaurant rather than a glass or two of wine.

This must be a state by state thing. I've been to many places across the country when unfinished wine can be taken home -- in the trunk of the car, of course.

There are few, if any, alcoholic beverage laws that are broader than statewide. I believe the repeal of prohibition left control of alcoholic beverages to the individual states. In some states, the laws vary from county to county and may not even be the same across the county.
