Wine and Beer Sales Open up in Pennsylvania Food Stores (World Does Not Come to an End!)

For the long-suffering Pennsylvania wine (and beer) consumer - and yes, I have used that apt descriptor before - , the relaxing of state liquor laws seems to be coming on fast and furious after decades of glacially-slow modernizing of the PA LCB (Liquor Control Board).  In an earlier post (August 7) wherein I extolled the virtues of the Naked Wines wine club, I noted that shipments could be sent to your nearest State Store.  Now you can have the wine shipped DIRECTLY to your home! See below for more information.

In addition to this new convenience - that almost every other State in the Union already enjoys, I might add - , food stores and supermarkets are now able to sell beer and wine, albeit with some restrictions in purchases and a somewhat lesser selection than most State Stores. Nevertheless, this will go a long way in making wine and beer purchases much more consumer friendly.  Already Wegman's is selling wine, and I'm told Whole Foods is soon to follow. (The new Whole Foods at 20th and Callowhill already sells dozens of craft beer by the six pack or by individual bottle.)

I haven't checked out the PA Wegman's wine selection yet, but if it's anywhere close to the selection in their Cherry Hill location, there will be good deals to be had.

So drink up wine (and beer) lovers! Pennsylvania is on the move!
