Default Miss Manners on "who gets the wine"

If she did not really want wine she should just have ordered a glass of
house wine. Why she felt they needed a full bottle is odd since she had no
plans to actually share it. Since it was basically part of his meal he
should be able to keep it just as if he asked for a box for the leftovers.
The wine was a leftover part of his meal she just had a few sips. So
basically she gifted him the wine along with the meal. I mean what other
option did the guy have other than to leave it and what's the benefit of
that? She can always enjoy another half glass since they're both going back
to the same home.

I am going to get into trouble here I know it but I'll just say this is
typical of the modern male/female relationships where it is a constant
struggle to determine who is on top and who wields the power. Not letting
anything slide, even a quarter bottle of wine, is why relationships and
marriages fail. This is a perfect example of making a stink out of
absolutely nothing.
