henryarnaudI usually ask the giver if I can open it then and there, unless I'm busy with something and then I'd say, "Thanks. I'll open it when I get a chance."
No real hard-and-fast rule on what I do.

jhe888I think a gift like that is usually opened when given. The giver most likely expects you to open it, and will undoubtedly be gratified when you are happily surprised and offer your genuine and enthusiastic thanks.
If it is a bottle of hooch, offer to share a toast!
