    7         564.09 Restaurants; off-premises consumption of wine.
    8  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a restaurant
    9  licensed to sell wine on the premises may permit a patron to
   10  remove one unsealed bottle of wine for consumption off the
   11  premises if the patron has purchased a full course meal
   12  consisting of a salad or vegetable, entree, a beverage, and
   13  bread and consumed a portion of the bottle of wine with such
   14  meal on the restaurant premises. A partially consumed bottle of
   15  wine that is to be removed from the premises must be securely
   16  resealed by the licensee or its employees before removal from
   17  the premises. The partially consumed bottle of wine shall be
   18  placed in a bag or other container that is secured in such a
   19  manner that it is visibly apparent if the container has been
   20  subsequently opened or tampered with, and a dated receipt for
   21  the bottle of wine and full course meal shall be provided by the
   22  licensee and attached to the container. If transported in a
   23  motor vehicle, the container with the resealed bottle of wine
   24  must be placed in a locked glove compartment, a locked trunk, or
   25  the area behind the last upright seat of a motor vehicle that is
   26  not equipped with a trunk.
