This is wr
ng. I'd have considered politely complaining and perhaps have requested a supervisor. But given that you had technically misrepresented yourself with regard to the "food" question a power-tripping CBP agent could have simply revoked your GE. That's not a great situation to be in. FWIW, while I select "food" if I have any I don't think many here (myself included) consider bottles of alcohol to be food.
