Bottle service.  They chill and serve your own wine to you. I think that should 
be another value of: 

Alcohol:wine=bottle_service 

Usually there is a "corking fee" (IIRC) for serving you your own wine over the 
house wine. 

I think that when you are talking about amenities, services, and cuisine, how 
alcohol is handled is part of that. To define one aspect or value but "ignore" 
another aspect of any mappable item is gonna be infuriating to some mappers 
(*cough* landuse=civic).  

 I do _not_ think stating how common classes of things are handled - especially 
a commonly signed item - is "listing what is sold". We talk about smoking, 
handicapped access, parking, fast food vs restaurant, takeaway - all kinds of 
amenities of a restaurant. This is just another amenity/service/restriction of 
the business. 

Almost all convenience stores in Japan have a sign that states they sell 
alcohol and another one for tobacco. Those categories are made by the culture. 
Mapping the data that is important enough to be universally signed is not the 
same as mapping what brands or varieties is or isn't sold. Vending machines 
here sell "drinks" or "alcohol" but never both, so there _has_ to be a(n 
approved) way to define it in tagging if you are mapping vending machines. 

How they handle alcohol, in general, at a location could be considered by 
people who care to map such things as being a similarly important aspect of the 
services offered there.
