Liquor In FL Grocery Stores Bill Gets Panel’s OK

TALLAHASSEE – Florida shoppers could soon pick up a bottle of vodka or other hard liquors at the grocery store after tossing staples such as milk and eggs into their cart.

A Florida House panel Wednesday approved a measure allowing grocery stores and large retailers like Wal-Mart and Target to sell liquor in their stores. It's part of a larger bill allowing craft beer breweries to sell their wares more freely.

Under current law, stores with a majority of sales coming from spirits must be separate from stores selling other general goods.
