Do you need to show id for nonalcoholic wine?
I wanted to get some wine but don’t feel like going into a liquor store or having in person delivery. I ordered nonalcoholic wine online to be delivered. It didn’t mention anything about signing for it or checking id at delivery. I’m hoping this is a no contact delivery. Anyway, does anyone know the answer to this I’ve never bought nonalcohol anything before.

Isn't non-alcoholic wine called "grape juice?"

It does have a small bit of alcohol in it. The wine not the grape juice lol. But it’s such a small amount I’m not sure if that’s card worthy. I’m hoping not.

So, wait a moment. You're saying that non-alcoholic wine has alcohol?
Sounds like an issue for the Food and Drug Administration - or, would be if they cared about such things anymore.

Why would you need ID? It's not an alcoholic beverage.

You can buy non-alcoholic wine at a grocery store. I've never seen anyone showing an ID card to walk out with it.

In California, ID is required for NA beer and wine -- or at least it was ten years ago when I managed businesses there.
I wouldn't have written you those steamy PMs if I knew you were underage, though.

NA beer and wine both run about .5% ABV.

For grocery delivery-at least here anyway-they require id. However, I didn’t order it from a grocery store, I ordered it from another venue so I wasn’t sure if it was a universal rule or just a grocery store rule to card. The nonalcohol wine has small amounts of alcohol so not totally nonalcoholic despite the name. But the level of alcohol is low enough to use the title nonalcoholic.

Yeah, that's what I ran into at the grocery store (here in CA)--with the checkout saying if you ordered nonalcoholic wine for delivery, they would be carding you. I had never ordered nonalcoholic anything and like everyone else was thinking What??!! There's no alcohol in there--or at least very little. So why do you need an id? But apparenty you do need one here for grocery delivery. I tried another venue and there was no added stipulation upon checkout so I thought maybe carding is just an individual grocery store's own requirement. Anyway, I'm trying to do no contact delievery and social distance as much as I can--but if I am carded either way, I'm buying the real thing.

Doesn't having a credit card to use for your order "prove" you are of age?

I would think so, but apparently not to the grocery store if you want no contact delivery. Someone needs to be over 21 and present an ID.

No. Drinking age there is 21. I've seen some parents get their kids credit cards while they were still in high school.

Fair's fair, one of my relos when she was 20 was over in your country and ordered lemon lime and bitters from the bar - she was asked for ID, refused service, and kicked out. I know people here who are so stupid they actually think there's absolutely no alcohol in bitters drinks, just because it's not on the label, and nothing will convince them otherwise. People forget that alcohol is naturally occurring - my over-ripe bananas probably contain more alcohol per volume than a bitters drink. Legally in Australia any drink with less than 0.5% alcohol is considered non-alcoholic.

I wasn't sure, thus the quotes. I know nobody in my family had credit cards in HS! I got my first credit card(s) sometime after I was married, so that would be age 28+. Anything before that was cash and carry.

UPS doesn't require signatures for booze anymore. They do have to see you though, at a distance. New policy. Fedex still did want to see ID two months ago, dunno about now. But the UPS man said they don't require contact anymore, just seeing the recipient. I have ordered my wine online for some time now, and the last delivery was the first under the new policy.

K&L Wine Merchants
But it's the delivery company, not the source, that determines the signature policy.
I have also ordered hard liquor from https://uptownspirits.com/ in the past. Both companies have decent prices and are prompt.

Same here, I didn't get my first plastic until I'd been in the Air Force for a couple of years. But some of my son's classmates were spoiled ... credit cards, fancy cars, the works.
