Chester County was among five Pennsylvania counties tallying almost half of all dollar sales at Fine Wine and Good Spirits stores in the state, according to the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s just-released 2013-14 Retail Year in Review.

Allegheny County had more than $271 million in wine and spirit sales, about 13.7 percent of statewide sales. The other top selling counties in addition to Chester were Philadelphia, Montgomery and Bucks counties. Combined, these accounted for almost half of all dollar sales at Fine Wine & Good Spirits stores in Pennsylvania.

“The Retail Year in Review is one of the most interesting publications we produce because it shows what consumers are buying and where they’re buying it,” said PLCB Chairman Joseph E. Brion. “By tracking consumer tastes across Pennsylvania and beverage alcohol industry trends, the PLCB can continue to provide the best products at competitive prices in all 600-plus Fine Wine and Good Spirits stores.”
