Need my wine!

We are flying in Thursday morning for our cruise that afternoon. Our plan is to get a taxi and stop somewhere on the way to the cruise terminal for our bottles of wine unless they are available at the airport. Does anyone know?

You didn't say which airport you're flying into. If it's IAH you can have the taxi stop at the Houston downtown "Spec's Wine, Spirits, and Finer Foods", you will literally pass within blocks of it going to Galveston. If you fly into Hobby, Spec's (downtown Houston) is 11 miles in the opposite direction from Galveston.

 

It's the largest liquor store in Texas, I think you'd be hard pressed to find a better selection of wines in the Houston/Galveston area and they are very competitive on price.

 

Otherwise the stores mentioned by Galveston Cruiser will fit the bill nicely.

You also might want to mention that if you are talking about flying into Texas for your cruise that the wine/liquor stores are closed on Sunday. However, you can buy wine after 12pm on Sunday at the grocery store.

While not stating what airport they are flying into, they do state in the OP that they are flying in on a Thursday. So this is not a concern.

What airport? What cruise terminal? A taxi from IAH to Galveston will be expensive.
