Florida: open container exemption sought

Wines & Vines, May, 2005

Restaurant patrons statewide could take their unfinished bottles of wine home with them and not be ticketed for driving with an open container of alcohol under legislation unanimously approved by a House committee. Under HB 719, a customer who has purchased a bottle of wine with a full-course meal could have the bottle resealed so that it could be taken home.

The bill heads next to the House transportation committee.
