Pennsylvania maintains a state-controlled system for those products, with the Liquor Code specifically providing for the establishment and operation of state liquor stores. That is why a typical Pennsylvania grocery store cannot simply stock a traditional liquor aisle alongside its other alcohol. Where Fine Wine & Good Spirits fits in For Pennsylvania shoppers, Fine Wine & Good Spirits is the state-store system for wine and distilled spirits. In Pittsburgh and across Pennsylvania, those stores are a familiar part of shopping for bottles of products such as vodka, whiskey and tequila. That familiar separation between a trip to the grocery store for some alcohol and a state store for distilled spirits is part of what makes Pennsylvania’s system distinctive. Fine Wine & Good Spirits serves as the public-facing retail presence of a system in which the state maintains control over liquor sales. Sign up: Don’t wait for tomorrow. It’s Steel City TODAY!
