Seasonal alcohol beverages popular at local liquor store

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Celebrations will be on smaller scales tonight, but we can still make a toast to the new year ahead.

Partner at Bob’s Liquor and Wine Store Lakhvir Jhund expects many will be enjoying their glass of bubbly at home to ring in the new year.

He says alcohol purchases tend to go with the season with wines, in general, being popular.

But also in the last week, he’s seeing a lot of sparkling wine and champagne being bought.

Jhund says shoppers continue to support the local brewers and distillers in the city as well.

“A lot of people like darker ales this time of the season. IPA’s we sell a lot of and we pretty much have all kinds of varieties here. But definitely, people are buying local stuff to support the economy.”

Bob’s Liquor opened their second local location on Strachan Road less than one week ago.

They will be open until 11 pm for New Year’s Eve tonight and also offer Bob’s Delivery Service.

Jhund reminds to not to drink and drive and wishes a happy new year.
