The rule today
In Kentucky, groceries and gas stations may sell beer only — not wine and not spirits — and many counties are dry or "moist," so check locally. KRS 243.230(5) bars a quota package license at any premises where a substantial part of the business (10% or more of monthly gross sales) is staple groceries or gasoline. That is why Kentucky supermarkets have a physically separate attached liquor store.
