Oh for the bliss of supermarkets that sell alcohol as well, sooooo much easier! Thanks for trying though
One of the nice things I found on our recent trip to NZ is that Woolworths (I think it's called Countdown there) sell alcohol - it's cheaper and very convenient. I really can't understand why we don't have that here, especially when you consider that the main booze shops are owned by supermarket chains anyway.

Aldi sells grog in Vic and the ACT. I assume that means the other supermarkets could too if they felt like it.
