The Telegraph reports, from the UK:
Claire Birchell, 25, was told she could not buy the Jack Daniel's barbecue sauce which has an alcohol content of 2 per cent.
Staff at the store in in Flitwick, near Bedford also refused to sell the bottle to her brother-in-law, Philip Dover, 27, who did have ID, because they believed he would just give the bottle to Miss Birchell.
She was visiting her parents in Flitwick at the time and wanted to buy the sauce because shops near her home in Liverpool didn't stock it.
Mr Dover said: 'We just could not believe it. It's not as if we were going to go and sit down the park drinking it.
"Claire lives in Liverpool and she can't buy the sauce up there so she was really disappointed she couldn't get it in Flitwick. It just seems crazy over a sauce."
A spokesman for Tesco said "Our staff are incredibly vigilant when it comes to the sale of alcohol.
"However in this case it appears that there has been an error of judgement. We apologise for any upset caused."
Last month Tesco stopped selling alcohol to parents with their children in case they passed it on to the youngsters.
The supermarket chain defended the policy, saying it wanted staff to "err on the side of caution."
