Licensed venues in Brisbane subject to the State Government's crackdown on glass will not be able to serve patrons bottles of wine and champagne if their establishments are deemed "high risk".

The government's plans to force pubs and clubs with a history of glass-related incidents to serve beer and other single drinks over the bar in plastic have been well documented, but the potential ramifications for venues serving wine and champagne by the bottle have not until now been clarified.

A spokesman for Fair Trading Minister Peter Lawlor said yesterday that a total ban on glass meant that venues that remain in the high-risk category after responding to show-cause notices would not be able hand glass of any kind over the bar to customers.

He said high-risk venues would have to find alternatives to glass bottles of wine, regardless of what time of day or in what circumstance the wine was ordered.

Venues that were regarded as low risk may be able to negotiate more flexible terms of their conditioning with Liquor Licensing.
