A mature-aged Moranbah man was caught drink driving after enjoying a bottle of wine.
William Browning Cullen pleaded guilty at Moranbah Magistrates Court on March 11 to driving over the general alcohol limit but not over the middle alcohol limit.
Cullen was intercepted by police for a roadside breath test at 7.10am on February 22 on Moranbah Access Road and told police he had enjoyed a bottle of wine with dinner the night before, the court heard.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Paul Cramp said Cullen returned a Blood-Alcohol Content reading of .061.
Magistrate Robert Walker questioned how many bottles of wine Cullen consumed, considering his reading âat that time of the morningâ.
