Alpharetta moves toward ‘brown bag' law

Restaurant patrons in Alpharetta may soon enjoy a special house wine with their meals -- their own house. The City Council Monday passed a resolution allowing patrons to carry their own wine into participating restaurants. The measure allows for specific instructions on resealing the bottle for transport home.

The resolution passed 7-0 and will go into effect if and when the City Council approves it on second reading later this month.
