An Act amending the act of April 12, 1951 (P.L.90, No.21), known as the Liquor Code, in licenses and regulations and liquor, alcohol and malt and brewed beverages, further providing for wine expanded permits.
HB 1171 amends Pennsylvania's Liquor Code to modify rules for businesses holding "wine expanded permits." It allows these permit holders to sell up to 3,000 milliliters (about 101 ounces) of wine per transaction for off-premises consumption during their regular operating hours. The bill also clarifies that wine sales for take-home use cannot occur after 11:00 PM until the business's next permitted operating hours, including Sundays if authorized. This directly affects existing licensed businesses (like wineries or restaurants) with wine expanded permits seeking to sell wine for customers to take away.
