Article 6 - Special Provisions Relating to Wine
81 - License to Sell Wine at Retail for Consumption on the Premises.

(a) "soju" shall mean an imported Korean alcoholic beverage that
contains not more than twenty-four per centum alcohol, by volume, and is
derived from agricultural products.
(b) "shochu" shall mean an imported Japanese alcoholic beverage that
contains not more than twenty-four per centum alcohol, by volume, and is

4. A restaurant licensed to sell wine under this section may permit a
patron to remove one unsealed bottle of wine for off-premises
consumption provided that the patron has purchased a full course meal
and consumed a portion of the bottle of wine with such meal on the
restaurant premises. For the purposes of this subdivision the term "full
course meal" shall mean a diversified selection of food which is
ordinarily consumed with the use of tableware and cannot conveniently be
consumed while standing or walking. A partially consumed bottle of wine
that is to be removed from the premises pursuant to this subdivision
shall be securely sealed by the licensee or an agent of the licensee
prior to removal from the premises, in a bag such that it is visibly
apparent that such resealed bottle of wine has not been tampered with.
Such licensee or agent of the licensee shall provide a dated receipt for
the bottle of wine to the patron.
