Sure is but the Wegmens that sells wine here is too far and not worth the gas when I can get it up the street almost.
 
They have a great wine section. They are a long drive for me too, but worth it once a month or so.
 
From right next to AOC Bandol this 3 litre box of rosé is about $6.50/750ml. Pretty darn good at that price. I'm not a greenie, but I admire efficiency, and box wine is uberefficient. Box wine is about 75% of weight of bottle wine and 50% of bulk. Big difference for shipping.

We have state stores, too, but only for spirits. The governor is trying to privatize our ABC stores to save money.
 
there's been talk of that for years in PA and it never happens.

The Liquor Control Board is loosing up- they recently put a wine store inside a restaurant with no liquor license. Some supermarkets are now selling wine and beer and now they have a self-service dispenser beta they are trying. Small steps.
 
Our state stores only sell hard liquor and wine....grocery stores sell beer and wine but their wine prices are much higher than state store prices
