In Idaho, groceries and convenience stores sell beer and wine — table wine up to 16% alcohol by volume and dessert wine from 16% to 24% — and wine sales are a county local option. Spirits come only from state liquor stores and Idaho State Liquor Division (ISLD) contract retailers, some of which operate inside groceries. Spirit-based ready-to-drink cans at or below 14% alcohol by volume sell as wine; above that they are liquor.
