Exactly.
Of course it would never be questioned. It's an exec lounge, not a bar, and you are a guest in the hotel. If you wanted to bring your own wine to the hotel's bar or restaurant you could absolutely do that as well. They might have a standard corkage fee, but that would almost always be waived for a hotel guest.
If US exec lounges charge for wine, bring your own. You have every right to do it.
