'Bottle Keep' Means No More Wine by the Glass

I think it has been pointed out enough times above why this idea is absurd for wine. Regarding sake, like just me said, it does oxidize with time, but nowhere near the speed of wine. A bottle of sake can be stored open, in a fridge, for a week without any significant or noticable change in taste. Another thing to consider is that the palces that do offer this service offer it to regular custumers, who pop in several times a week, so a regular sized bottle wont have to be stored long at all.
The sushi place I go to in London does this for me: I usually buy the 1.5 liter bottle and have it stored which lasts me about a week, sometimes less depending on the company I share it with.
Anyway a vast majority of restaurants and bars that I go to will do the same for me with spirits that will actually keep, like wodka, whisky etc. I recently wne to a mayfair bar I havent been to in sevral months and they still had my half bottle of wodka waiting for me, which was a pleasant suprise indeed.
