A New Hampshire lawmaker is proposing a law that would allow more bars and breweries to offer self-serve alcohol options for diners.

For the past three years, Leah Bellemore has been pouring glasses of wine like no one else in New Hampshire. Her business, Vine 32 Wine in Bedford, uses self-serve machines that let the customer determine whether they want a taste, half-serving or full glass of wine. Bellemore got approval for the business model thanks to a New Hampshire "industry rule" that allowed it.

"Once they [customers] get walked through the process and they understand how it works, they're blown away, they're like, 'Actually this is brilliant, this is nothing like I thought it would be,'" said Bellemore. "Guests can try different things, make everything a little bit more accessible."
