Is it legal for a minor to open bottles of wine in restaurant California?

It is not legal for a minor to open bottles of wine in a restaurant in California.

California law prohibits the sale or service of alcohol to anyone under the age of 21. This applies even if the minor is accompanied by a parent or guardian.

However, there are some exceptions:

* Religious purposes: A minor may be served wine for religious purposes with parental consent.

* Medical purposes: A minor may be served wine for medical purposes under the direction of a licensed physician.

It's important to note:

* Even if a minor is allowed to drink wine for religious or medical purposes, they are still not allowed to open bottles of wine in a restaurant.

* Restaurants have a responsibility to ensure that all patrons are of legal drinking age.

If you are caught serving alcohol to a minor, you could face severe penalties, including fines, jail time, and the loss of your liquor license.

It is always best to err on the side of caution and avoid serving alcohol to anyone under the age of 21.
