is it rude?
I threw DH a bday cocktail party saturday and we were only serving wine and beer, along with a good variety of non alcoholic drinks. His cousins bought him a nice bottle of tequila (a bottle that you wouldn't throw away). DH asked my if it would be rude to not open it, I really didn't know the answer!

Re: is it rude?
I'm not sure what the 'proper' answer would be but I could go either way. If it truly is a bottle to be saved and enjoyed properly, I could see saving it and not opening it. I would probably say thank you and 'we'll enjoy this another time', or something like that
But also, I've had guests bring alcohol to parties before and then I feel rude if I don't open it.
Sorry...I'm no help!

I don't think it's not rude to open. I would think of it as a gift. But if someone asked to open it or try, I wouldn't say no (just as I wouldn't say no to anything on my bar even if it's not what I'm "serving"). Does that make sense?
When I bring a bottle of wine to a party, I'll usually say something like, "for you to cellar or to open" so that they know I don't expect them to open it up that night.
seems to be coin toss! the gift was wrapped so it could have gone either way. dh opened it and shared...wish he save me some, it's suppose to be good stuff!

no, if they had said "brought this to share" then you open it. but it's a gift, so no - not rude to save it.
if they're close, location-wise, you can always invite them over for dinner/whatever, and share then. but i feel these things are best shared anyway :-)
