What’s Better

Liquor Stores vs Alcohol Delivery – What’s Better in 2025?

Traditional liquor stores still have their charm — shelves lined with options, the smell of oak barrels, the casual chat with the clerk. But in 2025, more Aussies are asking: why drive out when alcohol delivery brings it straight to your door?

1. The Store Advantage

Liquor stores let you browse labels, discover new brands, and grab snacks in the same trip. But they’re limited by hours, location, and that familiar rush before closing panic.

2. The Delivery Advantage

With GLUZZL, you browse on your phone, pay securely, and your order shows up cold. No driving, no parking, no queues. Delivery typically takes under 45 minutes in major cities.

3. Price & Availability

Prices are almost identical — but online delivery sometimes offers exclusive deals, loyalty credits, and bundle discounts. You also see live stock levels, which beats guessing in store.

4. Legality & Responsibility

Both options require RSA compliance. The difference? GLUZZL’s team checks IDs at delivery, meaning you stay compliant without leaving your couch.

5. Verdict

For everyday convenience and late-night runs, alcohol delivery wins hands down.
Liquor stores still shine for planned buys or when you want browsing vibes, but delivery has become the Aussie way to stock the fridge responsibly.
