If you take a birthday gift and a wine contribution, is it rude to ask for what you took if what you are given is not to your taste?

Spot on, although I always bring a bottle for the host and one to open as I like what I like.

AuntieE I agree with you. If the wine was a gift no you certainly don't ask for it to be opened but as I stated earlier I thought it was rude for our host to put our nice wine aside for Christmas Day whilst serving up paint stripper to guests that evening. It was just a gathering, no food involved. I often wonder how many nice bottles of wine they stockpiled that night
