   10  vendors at retail in any size individual container containing no
   11  more than 32 ounces of cider; however, this section does not
   12  prohibit cider from being packaged and sold in bulk, in kegs or
   13  barrels, or in any individual container that contains 1 gallon
   14  or more of cider, regardless of container type. In addition,

   21         564.09 Restaurants; off-premises consumption of wine.
   22  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a restaurant
   23  licensed to sell wine on the premises may permit a patron to
   24  remove one unsealed bottle of wine for consumption off the
   25  premises if the patron has purchased a full course meal
   26  consisting of a salad or vegetable, entree, a beverage, and
   27  bread and consumed a portion of the bottle of wine with such
   28  meal on the restaurant premises. A partially consumed bottle of
   29  wine that is to be removed from the premises must be securely
   30  resealed by the licensee or its employees before removal from
   31  the premises. The partially consumed bottle of wine shall be
   32  placed in a bag or other container that is secured in such a
   33  manner that it is visibly apparent if the container has been
   34  subsequently opened or tampered with, and a dated receipt for
   35  the bottle of wine and full course meal shall be provided by the
   36  licensee and attached to the container. If transported in a
   37  motor vehicle, the container with the resealed bottle of wine
   38  must be placed in a locked glove compartment, a locked trunk, or
   39  the area behind the last upright seat of a motor vehicle that is
   40  not equipped with a trunk.
