Q: I am looking for Woolite. The old Woolite in the white bottle that you would use to hand wash items. I have looked in Publix, Kroger and Target, and cannot find the hand wash Woolite anymore, only the laundry detergent. Do you know where I can find it? Thanks so much. — Denise Skelton, Alpharetta
A: Woolite now offers three different products: Woolite Darks, Woolite Everyday and Woolite Extra Delicates Care, which is the one you’re seeking. While it used to come in the blue and white bottle, it’s now mostly pink and white, but it features the original scent. As the name implies, this laundry detergent is formulated to be gentle on fabrics, and it can be used in your washing machine on the gentle cycle or for hand washing delicate fabrics that include silk and wool. You can order it through www.acehardware.com, and have it delivered to your nearest Ace Hardware store, where you can then pick it up without incurring any shipping charges. A 16-ounce bottle costs $7.49.
Q: I like the occasional vodka with bitter lemon. I once tried Fever-Tree bitter lemon and found that I liked it better than Schweppes. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find it, can you? I’m hosting a small group for New Year’s Eve and would love to have some by then. Thank you. — E. Denham, email
A: Fever-Tree is a popular brand of mixers from the U.K. that includes tonic, bitter lemon and ginger ale. Locally, you’ll find a variety of Fever-Tree products, which are named after the legendary tree in Peru thought to have healing properties. A four-pack of 6-ounce bottles of Fever-Tree premium bitter lemon costs $6.79 at Kroger, 3871 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 404-240-0808.
Q: I am unable to find the gallon cans of boiled peanuts that Sam’s Club used to carry. They are great in a Crock-Pot for game day! Can you help? Christy Merritt, Roswell
A: Your game day won’t be without boiled peanuts this year. Margaret Holmes Peanut Patch boiled peanuts in a whopping 6-pound can are located at the Sam’s store near Marietta’s Big Chicken. You’ll find the canned boiled peanuts for $5.27 at Sam’s Club, 150 Cobb Parkway, Marietta, 770-423-7018.
Q: Is there a place locally that sells a Canadian beer called Trois Pistoles by Unibroue. I’m specifically looking for Trois Pistoles, none of the others, which I’ve seen around. Thanks. — Jeff Simon, email
A: According to Beer Advocate, which gives the Belgian strong dark ale a 90 rating, Trois Pistoles offers a slightly sweet flavor set off by accents of roasted malt, cocoa, ripe fruit and dark spices. Supposedly, Trois Pistoles boasts a smooth finish reminiscent of old port wine. You can find single 12-ounce bottles for $2.99 each, and packs of four priced at $10.99 at Total Wine and More, 3954 Peachtree Road, Atlanta, 404-816-7249.
