Shoppers in Pennsylvania would be able to purchase beer, bread and a bottle of wine if a bill that would privatize the sale of alcohol in the state passes.
Already, more than 150 supermarkets in the state sell beer via restaurant liquor licenses. Those licenses require supermarkets to have in-store cafes selling food and designated cash registers to ring up six-packs of beer.
Under a bill headed to the Senate that would dismantle the current way alcohol is sold in Pennsylvania, supermarkets would continue to purchase those licenses along with separate licenses to sell wine.
There is no provision for supermarkets to carry spirits such as vodka, rum and gin but owners could opt to purchase wine and spirit licenses.
