To think otherwise is ridiculous. Start making some calls and emails and find one Marriott affiliated property that says you are forbidden from bringing wine into their hotel, or its lounge. You won't find one, but good luck trying.
Lots of hotels officially charge corkage fees on alcohol you bring in yourself although most won’t notice/care if you bring a bottle or two in if you’re discreet. But I know at least the Atlanta Marriott Marquis has stopped friends of mine from bringing in alcohol (although admittedly during Dragoncon where a tad more drinking than normal occurs).
