xcal185 Posted February 7 #1 Share Posted February 7 We are staying in Australia for a week before boarding a cruise to New Zealand. I was wondering if beer and wine are sold in grocery stores, or if they must be purchased at a store that only sells these products. Thanks Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare lyndarra Posted February 7 #2 Share Posted February 7 Aldi has in-store sale of alcohol(limited range but good prices), but generally, it is sold through pubs and liquor stores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare aussielozzie18 Posted February 7 #4 Share Posted February 7 (edited) In the Sydney area Coles supermarkets have liquorland within the same building or immediately adjacent, selling beer, wine & spirits.

Rare arxcards Posted February 7 #5 Share Posted February 7 Most of our supermarkets have an affiliated liquor store adjacent. Woolworths will have a BWS Coles will have a Liquorland. If you have a Dan Murphy's close to where you are staying, you will have maximum choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruiser3775 Posted February 7 #6 Share Posted February 7 (edited) Have you checked the rules for your cruise line on bringing wine and beer on board? Beer will probably be prohibited, wine may incur a large "corkage" charge, maybe up to $30 per bottle. It varies from one cruise line to another, so you need to check the fine print. The rules have been tightened up post Covid on most lines. Edited February 7 by cruiser3775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the OP just want some wine and beer precruise, for the week at a Sydney Hotel room. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
