Not to be Debbie Downer or anything but usually a liquor license also gives you the right to let your customers consume their beverages on the premises, not just purchase them (the difference between a party store and a bar).
Here's to hoping he reads up on this before he gets caught!

Now this guy sounds like a damn fine bloke. What I like is he is actually giving stuff away...it is costing him, albeit only points on his credit card, but cost nonetheless.
He deserves any and all custom he gets.
Don't know about your neck of the woods, but over here in Brisbane you have to have a license even for a BYO, and the proprietors charge what they call "corkage" to remove the cork from YOUR bottle of wine, or whatever, and provide glasses to consume it in the restaurant.
Cheers, Vince

I guess at that price its for those wine bottles in the glass cases at the liquor store?
Mind you I really cannot tell the difference between a "good" bottle of wine, and a "normal" bottle of wine any ways so.

+100
I do not have the "golden palate" as some of my mates does (he could tell the wine from the taste!!)
But, I can tell whether or not I like the wine, who cares what brand or what vintage it is.

I can't even tell if I like the wine or not.

the Aussies changed the way wine has been veiwed forever in the 80s by making wine that people "liked" to drink!!!!
the rest of the world soon followed suite .
now a nice moscato is a fine drop and a merlot is better still but not to SWMBOs taste.
