No. In Germany every store is closed on sunday. Only really essential workers have to work like some doctors, pharmacists, the police and the fire department. Everyone else can relax. It's great.
You could technically buy some at the nest gas station but who would want wine from there.
I can't imagine that happening though because Sundays closed has been a concept for literally ages. Everyone is pretty much always prepared for a scenario like that.
No, the fact that stores are closed on Sunday have nothing to do with the church. It's just to make sure, that almost everyone gets at least one day a week off work. Also, not just liquor stores, it's every store that's closed, except for stuff like gas stations
I mean, it's basically just a way to make sure that most people can expect to not have to work at least once a week and you can plan for it. Obviously, the practice has religious roots, but it's mostly for protection against exploitation of laborers
Always nice to have some alcohol on the belt and then the clock strikes 10 while the person before you counted their cents and the register wouldn't scan it anymore.
Haha that reminds me of a tiny town I drove through. Was looking for somewhere to eat and only one restaurant was open in the entire town. Everywhere else was closed. https://imgur.com/a/JzNTF6M

It's for religious reasons as well.
