Today, I won a lottery at my local grocery store. Excited, I went to claim my prize, only to discover it was a bottle of red wine. I'm a recovering alcoholic. FML

The key word here is 'recovering'. Which means you should be proud of yourself for being in control of your life and your own recovery. You could explain your situation and maybe they will exchange it for something else? Failing that, just politely decline, you don't have to disclose any info, and maybe offer it to another customer in the shop. Just don't put yourself in the position where you might be tempted. Well done and good luck.

I'd give it away as a gift to a friend or family member that drinks.

What sort of stupid store has ALCAHOL for a prize!?

Cook it with onions and put it back in the bottle. You won't WANT to drink that and even if you do all the alcohol will be gone. It will only be useful for cooking.

That's really too bad! Well, you could give it as a gift as an act if will power.

Dear me, I feel for OP. He must be wineing about it.

That's horrible. So many people can't have alcohol for many different reasons! Hope you got rid of the wine, OP:)

One bottle of wine? What a shit lottery, not even free shopping for a minute?

I'll take taht bottle off of you. :D
