Opened Bottle of House Wine (Rex's Bar)

An uncorked bottle of the bar’s house wine, presented openly behind Rex’s counter. The glass bottle is already opened and partially consumed; a simple house‑wine label marks it as everyday hospitality. Rex lifts and offers the bottle directly to Mrs. Troi, the gesture functioning as a tangible, unceremonious invitation that shifts the room’s mood and draws Lwaxana’s attention.

Purpose

To contain and be poured from so patrons may be offered house wine as a gesture of hospitality.

Significance

Serves as a comedic and social prop that initiates intimacy: Rex’s offering of the bottle catalyzes Lwaxana Troi’s erotic fixation, distracts key officers at a fragile mission moment, and establishes a moment of interpersonal disruption with later emotional callbacks.
