Storing wine in water bottles?
Hey Alaska FAs that might be on here, how common is it to store wine in used water bottles? I’ve never seen this on an airplane, but maybe that’s what you FAs do when you have leftover wine and you don’t want to pour it out. On yet another AS/Skywest flight with the same lazy FA and she comes by and leaves a bottle of water for all four passengers in F and runs off to the galley and pulls the curtain (where she’s on her phone...I’m
seated in 1A and can see right through the mesh). Anyway, I look down at my tray and the bottle
is looking a little dark and turns out to be wine. After she does her thing for about 10 mins her phone, I decide to ring the FA call bell and hand her the wine filled plastic water bottle. Doesn’t say a thing and brings me an unopened bottle of water. Is this normal?

Any opened bottles of alcohol has to be emptied before flight ends.
It seems quite a waste so the FA probably decided to share out the wine with the pax.
Some FAs would pour the wine or whatever into their own water bottles for consumption on layovers.

This wasn’t the friendly “let me share this wine with you” FA. This one was sloppy and accidentally handed me her personal stash and didn’t realize what she did until I had to get her attention several minutes later

I am on the fence with this one. On one hand it was a nice gesture as you can freely refill the cup at any time and can have “one for the road” if you will. On the other, unless it was MY water bottle or had some way of knowing it was a fresh bottle emptied, no thank you.
