Possibly, but alcohol content is not the sole criteria.  For example,
the "wine coolers" sold in Oklahoma groceries are actually flavored malt
beverages under 3.2, since bottles of alcoholic beverages (of which wine
is one) can't be sold anywhere but a package store.  Homemade small mead
might be permitted where a commercial small mead might not.  And the
laws, rules and regulations keep changing as the government tries to cut
down on alcohol related fatalities. 

Oklahoma has some very screwy liquor laws, but that is to be expected in
a state that was totally dry until 1954 and didn't have liquor by the
drink until the 1980's.
