Done loads of touring in Europe and enjoying a few glasses of wine after a long days riding is priceless.
Varies widely. Most states have a combination of seperate shops that sell hard booze&beer&wine only, but then allow other licensed stores to sell beer&wine&groceries. Sometimes this is even regulated at the town or county level. Usually its the town or county that regulates times or days that alcohol can be sold (example special times on sundays, or not at all).
Prices vary, but I'd guess 5$ for a six pack, 7$ for a tasty "micro brew". I only buy wine as gifts, so not sure on that.
