The Georgia Senate recently passed legislation that allows restaurant patrons to take their unfinished bottles of wine home.
Everybody wins with the "Merlot to go" bill! Restaurants sell more bottles of wine. Servers take home bigger tips. Customers have a larger selection of wines to choose from then just those offered by the glass.
There are some stipulations. Georgia law states the unfinished bottle has to be corked or capped and secured in a sealed bag by a restaurant employee. Once on the road, the bottle has to be placed in the trunk or glove compartment of the vehicle.
I got an e-mail today from a company that actually sells wine doggy bags that meet state laws, including Georgia's.
You know, this wouldn't be a bad gift for your wine-loving friends.

I love it!
Then you don't feel bad ordering that second (or third) bottle when out to dinner.
