Default Deliveries safe?
I had a case of wine delivered via Fedex this A.M., and will likely have some Scotch, etc., delivered from the local liquor store soon.

Not knowing who handled the bottles, I'm thinking I should wipe them all down with soap & water, alcohol, or whatever. Will that be enough to knock out any hitchhiking coronavirus?

If you are really that concerned open them outside and bring the individual bottles inside. I wouldn't, but just throwing that out there.

No, they are NOT safe. Leave them outside and I'll come take them ASAP.

I saw a report on the news last night that actually recommended leaving them outside for a couple days if possible.

I have been spraying all boxes with lysol before opening them, then bringing the inside, washing contents, and then burning the boxes

I have wiped my groceries, etc. with Clorox wipes for many, many years now. I have always washed any new clothes before wearing them. I have cleaned my cell phone and pens with Clorox wipes for years. This is nothing new to me.

Coronavirus can live on a cardboard box for up to 24 hours. Just leave the package outside on your porch at least that long before bringing it inside. And tell me your address.

Wash the insides of the bottles with alcohol after dumping the contents into the sink. Then drink the alcohol you washed them with. Safety first.

Spray them with lysol. Then let them sit for 1 to 2 minutes. Wipe down with soapy water then let dry.

Guzzle away.
