Tennessee has not allowed wine to be sold in grocery stores, but they voted on it last year and it passed. Now, only certain ones can sell it and the # in each county is limited.
Makes no sense to me, but that is the way it is.
Virginia sells wine at most grocery stores, but they must be licensed (state gets their cut). Our Walmart does have Oakleaf.
Tennessee voted on it last November. It passed, but no grocery stores can sell it until July 2016, and then only if the referendum passed in your county. If it didn't pass, no wine sales in grocery stores for that county.
Until last July (2-14) liquor stores could sell wine, but not corkscrews. Booze, but not Coke, or ice.
Yeah, it's messed up. I live in a dry county. Have to go to the next county to by liquor. Restaurants in my county cannot sell liquor, beer, or wine by the drink. They wonder why folks can't make money with a restaurant, while nearby towns do great.
Hey, we do have great moonshine... :)
