Curbside pickup of wine and spirits orders will be available at 389 more Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores, starting on Monday, to allow them to serve more customers while maintaining social distancing.

That will bring the total number of the liquor stores accepting orders by phone for curbside pickup to 565.

Most stores supporting curbside service Monday through Saturday take a limited number of orders at 9 a.m. on a first-call, first-served basis. Scheduled pickup appointments between 9:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. are offered on those days. Some stores, however, will operate on more limited days and hours. Orders are limited to up to six bottles per order, and credit cards are the only accepted form of payment.

“We acknowledge that Pennsylvanians are frustrated with busy signals and want broader access to wine and spirits, so after learning from our experiences this past week, we’ve made improvements to process orders faster, expand the hours we take orders by phone, and be more flexible in scheduling pickups, even the same day, if pickup appointments are available," said Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board Chairman Tim Holden.

The expanded list of stores offering curbside service is available online as well as below.

Each store has its own unique inventory and staff will guide callers through the products available for purchase before finalizing each order and taking payment by phone. At pickup, customers will be required to present identification before the order is delivered.

This announcement builds on the PLCB’s opening of its 176 of its stores for curbside pickup on April 20. Since the curbside pickup program began, it has sold 38,145 orders totaling about $3.64 million.

Additionally, the PLCB began accepting online orders at FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com on April 1 and now has more than 100 locations picking and packing e-commerce orders. Between April 1 through Thursday, it has fulfilled 74,624 in online orders for $7.11 million, which far and away surpasses the 39,000 e-commerce orders for $5 million it fulfilled between July 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019.
