My wife has one glass of wine, then dinner, that's why we have a half bottle plus left over. No buzz driving, and we're sure not about to tell the cop we have anything on board. In the interest of caution, we will transport the bottle in a laundry basket wrapped in a towel back on the bed. Of course that's where I'm laying down so here is the open container by me! We don't have outside storage but I guess we could pull a utility trailer? :) Now we have an open container in public! Geez.
