Your wine preferences & any changes over time?

It seems that every year the MN legislature talks about changing our Puritanical liquor laws, and every year, the talks go nowhere. No off-sale alchohol can be sold on Sundays anywhere in the state. You can, however, go to a restaurant and order all the booze you want. Grocery stores cannot sell any alchohol, so some have gotten around that by adding a wine shop, right next door, you don't even have to go outside to get to it from the grocery store. Seems like an exercise in silliness. The biggest opponents of changing the grocery store sale laws are the stand-alone beer and wine shops, no surprise. The biggest opponents of allowing Sunday sales are small grocery outlets that are closed on Sundays and believe they would need to stay open that day to sell alchohol in order to compete. That one is a bit of a stretch.

We opened up liquor stores on Sundays about 20 years ago. Still can't buy it or order in a restaurant before noon on Sunday. I never realized so many other states had blue laws.
My grocery store (one of the few that sells liquor) also cards everyone. Even me.

I have never understood that (and MN isn't the only place that does that). I've only encountered it as a tourist, which makes it especially awful. Drink all you like on Sunday as long as you drive (or typically with us, ride your motorcycle) away afterward. No taking a six back to your hotel and staying off the roads.
