Are clothes bought considered pure, and is it permissible to wear them directly if they were placed in a car suspected of having transported alcohol previously, knowing that they were wrapped in nylon bags?

Upon seeing the boxes of wine, it was obligatory to enjoin the man from evil and remind him of God. As for the clothes that were placed in the aforementioned location, they are pure, due to the possibility that the car was not the one in which the wine was placed, and because the place would have dried after more than a month had passed, and because the clothes were in bags that would prevent impurity from reaching them. And even if the clothes were to become impure with wine, they would become pure by washing them until the impurity is removed.
