By law if the beverage was in an accessible location to the driver it would be considered an open container.
If it was in say a shopping bag with a restaurant doggy bag it could be argued that it was just in transport.

With a GC its harder to place the bottle out of the drivers reach but it could be out of sight and not readily available. As long as your not sampling while driving most LEO's that I know would not make a issue of it, providing that wasn't the second or third bottle of the night

In a car put it in the trunk.
