Which code does this activity belong in?
Establishments in beer, wine, and liquor stores focus primarily on retailing packaged alcoholic beverages as their main business activity. This distinguishes them from grocery stores, which retail a general line of food products, and specialty food stores, which focus on specialized lines of food. The key boundary is whether alcoholic beverages or food products constitute the primary merchandise line of the establishment.
