Bottle shops around the country will today put restrictions on how much alcohol customers can buy to make sure they are purchasing alcohol “responsibly” and “as they normally would” during the coronavirus crisis.
According to 9 News:
Customers will be restricted to buying two cases of beer, cider, or premixed spirits in one transaction.
The limit on wine is 12 bottles, two cask wines (no more than 10 litres), and two bottles of spirits (no more than two litres).
Participating retailers include Coles Liquor (Liquorland, Vintage Cellars, First Choice, First Choice Liquor Market, all online retailers), Endeavour Drinks (Dan Murphy’s, BWS, all online retailers) and Aldi Supermarkets.
Independent Brands Australia, Liquor Legends, Urban Cellars, and Liquor Stax are also taking part.
The restrictions do not include Western Australia as the state has put in place its own limits.
From today, bottle shops across Australia will put temporary limits on the amount of booze you can buy. #9News https://t.co/GwJ45FJunO
