by the glass

[Woodman]

Interesting thought -- It's generally the pedestrian stuff that gets offered up by the glass, and why? Spoilage? I'm curious.

When my wife and I go out, she MIGHT drink one glass. If I buy a bottle, what to do with the part I don't drink, especially if I'm driving (trust me, she does for the most part) or what is a couple to do, each of whom drinks half a bottle. At that point, probably both are borderline for DUI.

Now, here in Oregon, home of some of the stranger alcohol laws in the country (save Utah), it's legal to cork the bottle and take it home -- whereas in California (where most anything goes alcohol-wise) this is unlawful. What about the rest of the country?

And, BTW, Alice White is pretty amazing stuff for $5 in a category (under $10 chardonnay) that's pretty dreadful as a rule. You won't sell your Corton-Charlemagne, but it's drinkable.
