Patrons at Maryland restaurants that hold liquor licenses may soon be able to bring their own private wine reserves, with the state’s General Assembly set to pass a corkage law as soon as today.

Back in February, we took note of the Virginia House of Delegates’ passage of bill SB1292, which would allow the Commonwealth’s residents to bring a bottle of wine to restaurants. Bob McDonnell, the state’s governor, signed the bill as expected, and so Virginians will be able to BYOB all they please come July 1.

Yesterday, the Virginia House of Delegates passed bill SB1292, which will allow for corkage in the state’s restaurants. Corkage allows restaurant patrons to bring their own bottles of wine to a restaurant — a choice best reserved for bringing that bottle you’ve been saving for a special occasion, or for connoisseurs who find their destination’s wine offerings lacking.
