Dear Annie: Last month, my husband and I invited some friends for dinner. They brought a bottle of wine, and we served it with the meal. However, when these friends were leaving, they took the remainder of the bottle with them. Am I supposed to open the wine, or can I save it for another time? Tell me what to do, because they are coming over for dinner again. -- Thirsty in Oregon
Dear Oregon: The wine belongs to you whether or not you open it. While it is nice to serve the bottle with dinner, you are not obligated to do so. Thank your friends nicely and mention that you are looking forward to opening it at a later date. (from Korea Herald)
I understand that the friends took(brought) the bottle back ,
so now she has not the bottle, right?
Then why does she say such as "Am I supposed to open the wine, or can I save it for another time?"?
