Kiko Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Costco is a club, so membership is required to shop there. As such, Costco can continue to sell liquor to you provided you have membership. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 A drawback I discovered recently is they only maybe two memberships to CostCo, and thus are limited in the number of items of any one type that they can purchase. So that is causing part of the inventory problem with deliveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellie Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Well I used to have a still in an unnamed Middle Eastern country... I may even have the "Blue Flame" insruction booklet which the company gave out to expats back then. You need 100# of sugar, yeast, and water to get the mash started. Wine I do indeed remember - white, red and rose. And we do have those 5 gal garrafons on hand but I vowed never to make it again...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holalola Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Are you sure? I just received an order via home delivery, including several bottles of wine. They do have some municipalities listed on their website where they are not selling alcohol. Hoping we won't be added! Por disposición oficial queda suspendida la venta de bebidas alcohólicas en las siguientes tiendas: Chiapas. Tienda Supercenter San Cristobal del 01 al 30 de abril del 2020 Tabasco Tienda Supercenter Blvd Ruiz Cortines del 02 de abril hasta nuevo aviso Campeche Tienda Supercenter Campeche del 05 de abril hasta nuevo aviso Baja California Sur Tiendas Supercenter Los Cabos y San José del Cabo del 06 de abril hasta nuevo aviso Nayarit Tienda Supercenter Bahía de Banderas y Tepic del 06 de abril hasta nuevo aviso Morelos Tienda Supercenter Paraíso del 08 al 30 de abril Yucatán, Tiendas Supercenter Mérida, Pensiones, Polígono, Mérida Norte del 10 al 30 de abril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dichosalocura Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 As far as I am aware the Oxxos and 711's are still selling. I don't know for how much longer though. Nor do I comprehend the reason why they would stop selling it. Have the Jehova Witnesses finally taken over or something? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerGuy Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hello dere! Each membership card allows one person inside the store, and each member is only allowed to buy so many of each thing: chickens, canned goods, water, various "select" goods. So if they have two memberships and 20 people want water, 16 of those people are probably out of luck. I do NOT know if they have made any kind of arrangements with management, considering they are running a business that had two previous owners, at least one of whom started getting their goods delivered lakeside from Costco after the bus-burning incidents along the corrider to Chapala some years back.

bmh Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 I believe that with confinement the pregnancies go up and so do domestic violence so it akes sense to cut out alcohol especially the cheap stuff. Of course in some areas it makes no difference because people in indigenous comunities make their own and they will continue selling it. They sell the one clock, 2 block etc.. posh in Chiapas the strongest being the one block.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gringohombre Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Can anyone substantiate the claim of the OP that Walmart is not selling alcohol or is this another case of FAKE NEWS on this site? Just in case, I too just left El Torito with 2 gallons of my favorite cheap vino tinto that I used to get at Paz. I can do without toilet paper (paper towels will do) but not my daily dose of vino tinto...proven to be good for the heart!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRPJR Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I just ordered Kirkland Vodka online from Costco less than 5 minutes ago. Sale was confirmed by email. We’ll see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losgatos Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 Shopped at Walmart two hours ago. The booze is definitely off sale, off limits. They have taped off the racks. I thought , perhaps, it was another local government edict to discourage out of town parties this holiday weekend in line with the traffic check points, so interesting to read above that Walmart will keep the department closed down through the end of May. La Paz was closed also when I drove by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanson Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 La Paz was closed when I shopped at Superlake several days to a week ago, I don't remember which day I was at Superlake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
