Texans can buy beer and wine after 10 a.m. through midnight on Sundays. The laws also limit the sale of beer and wine at bars and restaurants, so it's important to know where you can purchase alcohol on Sundays. Beer and wine can be purchased from grocery and convenience stores from 7 a.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, and from 7 a.m. on Saturdays. However, liquor stores in Texas will be closed on Sundays due to Texas' 'blue laws' and on Monday for New Year's Day.

For a 61-hour period during New Year's, Texans will be prohibited from visiting liquor stores as multiple liquor laws will prohibit alcohol sales. This means that if you want to wow your guests with a homemade craft cocktail on New Year's Day, you better get stocked up early. Texans are well acquainted with planning ahead when it comes to purchasing alcohol during holiday periods.

As state laws regulating the use and sale of alcohol changed over the past few years, it's important to stay informed about any updates that may impact your ability to purchase wine on certain days. The Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code mandates liquor stores close on Sundays and holidays, including Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. Make sure to plan your alcohol purchases accordingly to avoid any inconvenience.

With the New Year approaching, it's crucial to know the current regulations surrounding alcohol sales in Texas. Regulating alcohol has always been left up to individual states, which explains why buying and drinking alcohol looks different across the country. As the New Year arrives, make sure you are aware of any changes in Texas alcohol laws that may affect your ability to purchase wine on Sundays or holidays.

In conclusion, while liquor stores in Texas are closed on Sundays and holidays, there are still options available for purchasing beer and wine at grocery and convenience stores during certain hours. It's essential to familiarize yourself with Texas alcohol laws to ensure you can buy wine when you need it. Stay informed and plan ahead to avoid any disruptions in your wine-buying routine.
