Sundays in Ohio: Wine and Kroger, a Not-So-Biblical Pairing
Ah, Ohio Sundays. A time for family picnics, naps that could rival Rip Van Winkle's, and... the burning question: can you snag a bottle of vino at Kroger? Fear not, fellow Ohioan, for I, your friendly neighborhood beverage guru (with questionable qualifications, but hey, I googled it!), am here to quench your thirst for knowledge (and maybe wine, later).
The Law Laid Bare (Not Literally, That Would Be Weird)
Ohio has some interesting liquor laws, and Sundays are no exception. Here's the skinny: Yes, you can absolutely purchase wine at Kroger on Sundays! But there's a slight wrinkle in the time continuum. While Kroger's regular beer and wine hours might allow for boozy breakfast mimosas (no judgment!), on Sundays, the party gets started a little later.
Drumroll, please In Ohio, Kroger can't sell wine on Sundays until 10:00 am. So, if you're planning a Sunday brunch that requires a sophisticated grape beverage (because mimosas are classy, right?), you might need to adjust your mimosa-making schedule.
Important Note: This applies to all wine sales in Ohio, not just Kroger. So, whether you're at Giant Eagle, Meijer, or your local mom-and-pop shop, that 10:00 am rule applies.
The Kroger Wine Aisle Awaits!
So, now that you know the legalities, here's the fun part: hitting up the Kroger wine aisle on a Sunday! Stock up on your favorite Cabernet for that fancy dinner, grab a chilled Pinot Grigio for a poolside chill session, or explore the world of Malbecs because, well, why not?
Pro Tip: Sundays can sometimes get a little crowded, especially around brunch time. If you're looking to avoid the masses and get your wine in peace, consider a post-brunch Kroger run. You can thank me later.
