Rollover benefits

Throughout the year, we may close The Open Bottle for a special occasion, private event, holiday, employee outing, etc. If that day happens to be a day you’d normally receive a benefit, we will post in advance the “rollover” day. 

For example, if we close on a Wednesday because of a holiday, we will announce Thursday as the “rollover” day for your “50% off tasters” benefit. Rollover announcements will be made via the member Facebook group and are not always the following day.

Rollover days are only available for full days we are closed. So if we close earlier or open later than we normal would, there will not be a rollover day.
