HARRISBURG, PA — On June 9, Gov. Tom Wolf signed a historic liquor reform bill that is meant to provide greater convenience and satisfaction to Pennsylvania customers. State lawmakers consider the bi-partisan bill to be the most significant step in reforming the commonwealth’s liquor system in 80 years.

“I want to commend leaders and members from both parties in the House and Senate for coming together to pass this legislation, and I am proud to have signed it into law,” said Wolf. “As I have always said, my goal is to modernize the sale of liquor and beer in Pennsylvania, and this reform package finally brings Pennsylvania’s wine and spirits system into the 21st century.”

The bill includes changes such as allowing grocery stores that currently sell beer to also sell wine, direct shipment of wine to consumers’ homes, permanent gas stations’ ability to sell six-packs, restaurants and hotels to sell bottles of wine for take-out, and flexible pricing to allow state stores to offer special discounts and sales.
