5-02-13. Removal of wine from restaurant
If a full bottle of wine has been opened and the contents partially consumed, a retail
alcoholic beverage licensee whose gross sales of food are at least thirty percent of the gross
sales of alcoholic beverages consumed on the premises may permit an individual purchasing
the bottle to remove the bottle when leaving the licensed premises if the licensee reseals the
bottle with a seal that must be made conspicuously inoperative to reopen the bottle, and places
a receipt of sale with the bottle. The removal of the bottle under these conditions is not an off
sale of wine and is permitted without an additional license.
