Oklahomans moved one step closer to being able to buy wine and cold, full-strength beer in supermarkets and convenience stores under a Senate-passed resolution that cleared a state House committee Wednesday.

The measure, which now goes to the full House, would ask voters in November to approve a constitutional amendment to change the current law, which permits sales of such items only in liquor stores.

Senate Joint Resolution 68, approved 6-3, also specifies that liquor stores for the first time could refrigerate beer and sell nonalcohol items.

Discussion in committee centered on whether it was fair to wholesalers and the lack of specification on the allowable age for those who would sell the beer and wine.
