"Section 61-4-45. (A) Retailers may deliver wine and beer in closed containers for off-premises consumption to a customer who has purchased or ordered the wine or beer online in advance of the delivery for curbside pickup to the customer's vehicle if the vehicle is located within a clearly designated pickup area located adjacent to the retailer's place of business.
