Those looking to stock up on alcohol for self-isolation will be hit with limits at most bottle shops across the country, as retailers aim to prevent panic buying.
Industry body Retail Drinks Australia said it was voluntarily implementing product limits to stop interruptions to supply chains.
Customers will be limited to two cases of beer, two cases of cider or pre-mix spirits, 12 bottles of wine, two casks of cask wine not exceeding 10 litres in total and two bottles of spirits not exceeding two litres in total.
The restrictions will be rolled out in Dan Murphy's, BWS, Liquorland, Vintage Cellars, First Choice stores and Aldi supermarkets.
The limits will also apply to online retailers associated with outlets participating.
The measures come as local bottle shops saw a spike in sales last week as people prepared to spend more time at home due to self-isolation.
