Claire Birchell, 25, was refused a bottle of Jack Daniel's BBQ sauce as it has a two per cent alcohol content.
Miss Birchell's brother-in-law, Philip Dover, was also refused the bottle as staff in the Tesco store believed he was buying it for her.
Mr Dover, 27, said, 'We just could not believe it. It's not as if we were going to go and sit down the park drinking it.'
A Tesco spokesman said, 'It appears that there has been an error of judgement and we apologise for any upset caused.'
Tesco has recently stopped parents with children buying alcohol, in case they pass it on to the youngsters.
This was in response to a recent government initiate that heavily fines shops who sell alcohol to minors.
