I’ve spoken with Wine Reps who hate the idea of selling wine in gas stations or markets. The selection is drastically less and the items who get the most shelf space are the mass produced generic products. If you are just looking for a simple cheap dinner wine, then sure those stores are perfect. However, most consumers are not educated in the fine details of wine/beer and will not be buying a good example of a particular style of wine and thus will potentially be turned off from going to a specialty store and buying a more expensive wine of the same type even though it could be a wonderful bottle.
Support your smaller and local vineyards, breweries, distilleries when you can. You will rarely be able to do that if only shop at a chain type store.
Bigger selection is never a bad thing.
