If you receive proper wine service, it definitely should. If the wine is plopped down on the table, and you receive a couple of 99¢ store type glasses for the wine, then it becomes a bit fuzzier (i.e., the wait person cannot help the glassware the restaurant has, but the waitperson certainly can serve your wine in a proper manner as if you purchased it right there - and most, in my experience, do).
