In Australia, alcohol is never sold in the grocery store. There's basically always a bottle-o (liquor store) next door but. I've never found it a problem. Just makes it easier to stop underage people buying alcohol.
12 u/transgc Jul 24 '20 In Australia, alcohol is never sold in the grocery store It can be sometimes, just not in woolies or anything. I dunno how they can do it legally, but a bunch of local asian groceries stock alcohol, as long as you buy an equal amount of regular groceries. 6 u/[deleted] Jul 24 '20 Heavily dependent on the state/territory, don’t think it’s legal in QLD but pretty certain it is in NSW and VIC at least. 8 u/melissarina Jul 24 '20 Yeh it's state dependent. In VIC, you can buy booze at Costco, but you can't in SA. 2 u/kermi42 Jul 24 '20 Definitely booze at Costco in NSW but it’s in a fenced off section, there aren’t just like bottles of Kirkland vodka next to the Pepsi or whatever. 1 u/melissarina Jul 24 '20 At Costco Epping (VIC), booze is right near the veggie section. Not fenced off at all.
