Question

is it legal to bring wine into restaurants in texas?

Answer 1

You can bring it in to a "dry" county restaurant, but you can't open it yourself. They charge you a "corkage" fee (usually about $3.00). (At least that's the way it used to be when I lived there).

Answer 2

I'm not sure if it is legal to bring wine INTO the restaurant; if the restaurant doesn't serve wine, I don't see why they would have a problem with it other than you possibly taking money away from their alcohol sales if they sell alcohol. If they sell wine, I'm sure they would mind if you brought your own. You should call whichever restaurant you're curious about and ask. (To the person who said they were surprised Texans knew what wine was...bite me.)

Answer 3

To the person who was shocked that Texans knew what wine is - Shame on you! What gives you the right to be so narrow-minded and snooty? Grow up and get a life!

Answer 4

I'm not sure about Texas, but here in SC if you live in a "dry" county they will serve it to you if you bring wine in yourself.

Answer 5

I didn't realize that people from Texas have heard of wine.

Answer 6
