When I visited Austin a number of months ago it felt odd that the Whole Foods near my hotel had a couple of aisles of wine and beer basically in the middle of the supermarket. That's doesn't happen in Australia. I'm not sure of the exact legislation but the effect is that all liquor is in a separate store. Wade.

Items selected are paid for in that sub-store and tagged as "Approved". This sub-store is the size of many liquor stores, and has an incredible number of selections that are over US $100 per bottle. I buy the Armenian brandy I use as throat sterilizer there. My other most visited market also has a vast liquor section with plenty of expensive bottles. Theirs is all in a wall long, glazed cabinet under lock and key.
