Pulling out a bottle mid-flight risks upsetting fellow passengers. Some will have selected the airline because it is alcohol free.
As for opening bottles in the lounge, best look for the airside bar.
I most certainly understand that the policy of the airline is based on cultural reasons, and plan to be entirely respectful of it when I travel EgyptAir. My query was out of curiosity.

F.R.
Sounds like they are not entirely offended by the alcohol, but whether the FAs would continue to serve if a fellow pax complained is uncertain. I doubt if one would be able to assert one's right (for lack of a better word) to a glass of wine with one's meal on a dry airline.
