Maybe this is a county thing. I think our grocery store is full of all kinds of booze.
Grocery stores in TN can sell beer and wine coolers (which have malt liquor not wine in them) but not wine or hard liquor.
I know because in the news right now is a big push to change that. Grocery stores are lobbying for the right to sell wine.

I guess it's just the thought of someone seeing me buy it, or seeing it in my home, since we do not allow drinking among our leadership. Just avoiding the appearance of hypocrisy, I guess. That kind of thing bothers me - I have to be careful.
Baptists do not recognize eachother when they go to Hooters or the liquor store. Put on your best Baptist look and you will not be recognized in there.
I'm afraid the long hair and long skirt would rat me out.
Others have issues also. Jews do NOT recognize Jesus. Muslims do NOT recognize the POPE. Baptists do not recognize eachother when they go to Hooters or the liquor store. Put on your best Baptist look and you will not be recognized in there.
The Baptists around here are pretty much Tee-Totalers.

Articles on such subjects as "The New Birth," will be accepted, whether they teach that the new birth takes place before baptism in water and Spirit, or that the new birth consists of baptism of water and Spirit. - THE PENTECOSTAL HERALD Dec. 1945
"It is doubtful if any Trinitarian Pentecostals have ever professed to believe in three gods, and Oneness Pentecostals should not claim that they do." - Daniel Segraves
If I didn't want to give occasion to a wrong impression I would just stick to the cooking wine from the grocery store. It is clearly not for drinking and the bottle does not draw attention to itself as it looks like many other bottles. It is not shaped like a bottle of wine that you drink.
Plus Nyquil has more alcohol in it!!!!!!
