Default Wine in Hilton Head SC

Being from Minnesota where almost everything is against
the law, and grocery stores can't sell any alcoholic
beverage containing more than 3.2% alcohol, it's very
refreshing to see wine in BI-LO, Piggly Wiggly, and
other grocery stores in SC. In Minnesota, "someone" fears
that selling wine in grocery stores would hurt business in
liquor stores and, oh my god, children could purchase
wine with their Froot Loops. Wines found in grocery
stores in SC are typically inexpensive wines like
Yellowtail and similar, with a few nicer selections,
and some very low prices.
If you want the good stuff, it's available at liquor
stores.

SC does it better!
