DEAR ABBY: Dinner guests customarily bring gifts of wine to their hosts. The host offers wine with the dinner.
If a second bottle is desired, which wine would be used -- more from the host or is it better etiquette to open and serve the gift wine? -- BILL IN BEND, ORE.
DEAR BILL: It is not considered a breach of etiquette to keep the gift wine for use at another time, and the guest who brings it should not expect it to be served. (The same goes for candy and nuts, which are also popular house gifts.)
