Alice, When Guests Bring Wine, Should I Open It or Save It? -- Ask Alice: Advice for Life at Home

Pin it Dear Alice, When someone brings wine to a dinner party do you offer to open it up right away or is it considered a gift? I have some close friends that come over and we usually open it because they know we don't know much about wine. But recently we had some new friends over and they did not tell us either way. I just want to be a good host. Thank you! Signed, Want to do the Right Thing
