No but I have a brain like you are supposed to have and it is common sense (do you know what that is 'cause I doubt it)that this is the reason for the change of names on the outlets. What are the other reasons....Woolies suddenly decided that they are ashamed of their name on one of their outlets so it decided to change it's name?
And in any case you seem to be in denial that Australia kowtows to religious interests on this issue of alcohol.
For example...did you know that in comparable countries (e.g. Europe and North America) you can purchase alcoholic beverages with your grocery shopping. Only in Australia is a fuss made on the sale of these beverages.And it's not like it is benefiting our society as we have the same social problems as those other countries
Maybe they think that 'BWS' is more catchy, like The Bank of New South Wales changed its name to Westpac (Western Pacific), there could be many reasons but the most unlikely is your theory that they were suddenly ashamed of their billion dollar grog interests.
How did the religious interests suddenly get into the plot?
Have you never heard of the man who went through a train asking for a Catholic priest or a Mason?
He wanted to borrow a bottle opener.
I'm well aware of grocers selling grog, I lived in Ireland for a time and the local Quinnsworth (now Tesco Ireland) supermarket sold a vast range of wines including some that were over £100/- a bottle, and that was in 1979/80.
