What does selling non-Jewish wine have to do with dina demalchusa dina? Most frum liquor stores in Brooklyn sell non-Jewish wine to non-Jewish customers and mehadrin wine to Jews. It is indeed not ossur and for business reasons it is permitted but it is not a legal requirement to stock treyf wine in NY.

IIRC the liquor store on Ave J near the subway, being much smaller than the others, has no room to stock non-kosher and sells only kosher.

You don’t have to sell or stock treyf by law in any store except if you’re a kosher grocer who accepts WIC, and even then you’re just forced to stock non cholov yisroel evaporated milk. And you can put up a warning sign telling people that it is not CY.
