SB 305-RECORKING WINE SERVED WITH A MEAL 1:48:25 PM CHAIR ELLIS announced SB 305 to be up for consideration. DANA OWEN, staff to the Senate Labor and Commerce Committee, explained SB 305 allows patrons at a restaurant who order a bottle of wine to take that bottle with them as they leave if they haven't finished it. The bill is supported by the industry with the idea that people will more likely purchase a bottle of wine rather than a glass. It is also supported by folks who believe it will create a positive incentive for people to not drink too much at the table because they order an expensive wine and might feel compelled to finish it. Thirty-four other states have recorking laws. SENATOR BUNDE asked if industry is comfortable with resealing. MR. OWEN answered yes. SENATOR BUNDE asked if they had heard from restaurants and bars. MR. OWEN replied that he has received verbal support from them. CHAIR ELLIS recapped this issue had been before the legislature for some time. 1:51:05 PM SENATOR BUNDE moved to report SB 305 from committee with individual recommendations. There were no objections and it was so ordered.
