Can I drink from a bottle of wine someone brought on Shabbos to the meal?

 

Question:

If I’m at a meal in Crown Heights on Shabbos and someone brings a bottle of wine to the meal on Shabbos can I drink from that wine, or take part of anything else that was carried on Shabbos, such as food and so on?

 

Answer:

A Jew may not benefit from a Melacha that was done by another Jew on Shabbos.

According to many opinions, this includes carrying.

After Shabbos it is permitted right away.

Many Poskim hold that if a Melacha was done by a non-observant Jew one must wait after Shabbos to benefit from the item until the time that it takes to perform the melacha would have passed after Shabbos.
