If you got a bad bottle, you should be able to return it, and no reputable wine merchant will give you a hard time. Keep in mind, however, there's got to be something WRONG with it. Did the wine oxidize or madierize? Did it vinegarize? Is it "tainted" or "corked"? It can't be that you simply don't care for it.

Yes, but under specific conditions.

1) You had to have been overcharged by the store.

2) The liquor was bad (oxidized, spoiled, etc.).

3) You mistakenly grabbed the wrong thing.

Conversely, you can't return liquor if you just simply didn't like it, if you didn't finish it (no partial refunds), if it's opened for any reason besides being spoiled, if the label or cap has been tampered with, if it has gotten hot, if it was bought at another location, or if you don't have your ID.

It is illegal to return liquor to a vendor anywhere in the United States. See: Perdue, Lewis. e-Bay, Yahoo!, and other internet auction sites run afoul of direct shipping laws, Wine Trader, 1999, T(1), p. 15.

It is against the law everywhere in the US to return any unopened bottles of any alcoholic beverage to the place of purchase.

It's even illegal to sell the alcoholic beverage to anyone else. For example, suppose you overbuy your favorite alcohol beverage for a big party and your brother agrees to take a bottle or two and reimburse you. That seems reasonable, but anywhere in the United States, doing that would make you guilty of committing a punishable crime (selling alcohol without a license).

Yes, in many countries. If unopened, and you have a receipt, it can be returned to the liquor store for a refund or an exchange. If it is empty, the bottle can be returned at the beer store, along with other empties.

However, liquor bottles can't legally be returned in the United States.

I don't have any unopened beer, so I certainly can't do that.

However, most retail stores don't sell beer any other way.

The terms and conditions of licenses to sell beverage alcohol varies widely from state to state.
