Sorry, it's not Delta's policy to pour. From the manual:
"Alcohol may not be:
• sold at the gate.
• served to any passenger who appears to be intoxicated, is a prisoner or
prisoner’s escort or is carrying a weapon.
• served to passengers under the age of 21. If in doubt, request positive
identification from the passenger.
• consumed or served on board an aircraft unless the certificate holder
operating the aircraft
provided and served the beverage.
This policy
prohibits any Delta flight attendant from serving liquor/wine brought on
board by a passenger for special occasions or purchased from Duty Free.
• taken off the aircraft once served. Delta’s policy requires that all liquor,
complimentary or sold must be consumed on board the aircraft. “Liquor to
go” is not allowed."
(Whether your FA complies with policy or not is a different matter)
