Mississippi Beer & Wine in Grocery Stores (2026)

Beer & Wine in Grocery Stores in states bordering Mississippi

The same rule in each neighboring state LawLert has verified, from that state’s own official source.

• AlabamaPermitted

  In Alabama, groceries and convenience stores sell beer and table wine of up to 16.5% alcohol by volume, but not spirits. Alabama issues no off-premises liquor license to a general retailer, and a package-store licensee may not sell general grocery items, so liquor comes from state ABC stores and licensed package stores. Some counties and municipalities are dry.

  Arkansas groceries can sell beer and wine under a grocery-store off-premises wine permit, but only if the store sits in wet territory — and many Arkansas counties remain dry. No more than 20% of the store's gross sales may come from alcohol.

• TennesseePermitted

  In Tennessee, groceries and convenience stores sell beer, and they can sell wine only with a retail food store wine license — spirits are package-store only, and dry counties persist. That wine license requires at least 1,200 square feet, at least 20% of taxable sales from food, and a jurisdiction that approved wine sales by local-option election. Wine hours run from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Sunday, and Sunday sales have been allowed only since 1 Jan 2019.
