My boyfriend and I hosted a Christmas party last night. We provided the food and drinks, and just asked guests to bring dessert. Among other drinks we provided, we had wine. A few guests brought a bottle of wine, but I never offered to open it for them, because I've always heard it was rude to open the wine for the guests right then and there, and it was assumed it was for the host to enjoy at a later time. One of the guests ended up opening the wine they brought after having a glass of wine we provided, and I had no problem with that at all. My question is, should I offer to open somebody's wine for them when they bring it, or just set it aside and offer the wine I've provided?
