A lot of us on here take the simplicity of buying wine at the grocery store for granted, but in several states in the US this isn’t the case. In these states it is illegal to sell wine inside of a grocery store and thus they get relegated to separate liquor stores, some of which must be state controlled. One such state with these laws is Pennsylvania, a state with some absolutely superb wines along with some truly corked laws (ah wine humor … kinda sad really). But now it seems the state has come up with a work around of sorts for this issue, one which is meeting a bit of resistance.
