Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Celebrates the Grand Opening of a New Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection Store in East Hempfield Township, Lancaster County

LANCASTER, Pa., Dec. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) welcomed local elected officials, vendors and the public to the grand opening of the new, rebranded Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection Store at 558 Centerville Rd., Lancaster.

With almost 9,700 square feet of space, the new location is more than twice as large as the store it replaces. Because of the added space, consumers can browse nearly 1,400 additional products, bringing the total to about 3,800 wines and spirits. The extensive selection will also include the popular Chairman's Selection® wines, giving consumers the opportunity to buy highly rated wines at 30 percent to 40 percent off nationally quoted prices.

In addition, this retail location will feature a "Made in Pennsylvania" section, a special area dedicated to wines and spirits produced in the state.

The new store also offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for consumers to browse the selection and taste featured wine and spirits. The focal point is a large center table, where consumers can always find staff to answer questions or provide guidance. The center table provides a tasting bar for sampling products and spacious counters for highlighting new items and displaying educational materials. It features information such as:

• Answers to frequently asked questions about wine and spirits
• A vintage chart
• A food pairing outline
• Party planning guide
• Calorie chart
• Tips for responsible hosting and consumption.

Because of the larger selection of wines and spirits to fit every taste, an easy-to-use overview of the most popular products will help consumers navigate the many choices available throughout the store. Staff and a retail wine specialist – who has completed specific wine training – will provide their own recommendations based on their experience.

Throughout the design and construction, the PLCB has been committed to developing a store that is attractive and environmentally responsible. The majority of the lighting is state-of-the-art LED or energy-efficient compact-fluorescent lighting, using a fraction of the energy of traditional lighting. The store will also sell reusable shopping bags made from 60-percent recycled materials.

The new Fine Wine & Good Spirits Premium Collection Store will be open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday.

This new location replaces Fine Wine & Good Spirits at 586 Centerville Rd. (in the same plaza), which closed at 9 p.m. on Dec. 2. To find additional store locations, go to www.FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com.

The PLCB regulates the distribution of beverage alcohol and also operates more than 600 wine and spirits stores statewide. Taxes and store profits are returned to Pennsylvania's General Fund. For more information about the Liquor Control Board, visit www.lcb.state.pa.us.
