Whiskey wins for this Abilene liquor store's patrons on New Year's Eve
Champagne is not everyone’s first choice for New Year’s Eve. “According to the customers we get, I would rank bourbon or whiskey first,” said Rupinder “Dimpy” Kaur, the owner of The Oasis Spirts & Wines at 2749 S. First Street in Abilene. If you regularly drive past her store you’ve likely seen the clever messages posted on their marquee. In the week before Christmas it read, “Alcohol: The liquid version of Photoshop.” They’ve yet to decide what they’ll put for New Year’s, but in the meantime they’re stocking up with what sells. “I see the locals. They are not into champagne,” Dimpy said. “According to the customers we get, I would go bourbon, vodka and then maybe champagne.” She added tequila to that list, too. But just because the top libation at Oasis might be whiskey, that doesn’t mean people are going cheap. “If people are buying bourbon, yeah, they like to spend their money,” she said. According to state law, they’ll have until 9 p.m. to spend it. That same law prohibits liquor stores from opening on New Year’s Day, as well as on Sundays, Christmas Day and Thanksgiving, for that matter. State laws give convenience and grocery stores
