Wine & Spirits State Liquor Store

In Pennsylvania, the Commonwealth controls all wine and liquor sales (beer is available through other outlets). This is extremely inconvenient for location and selection, but I don’t know what it does to prices. On the one hand, I could not believe how cheap this stuff was, although it’s possible that this has nothing to do with the state. On the other, it’s probable that competiton would benefit the consumer.
In any case, this is my hometown liquor store, although this was only my third visit ever. I’ve never been in any others, so I can’t compare them. The selection isn’t bad for a store of its size. About 40% of the shop is wine. I saw all the liquor staples for extremely reasonable prices. What I wanted was rum to make mojitos, and the most expensive bottle available was 10 Cane for $ 30. It’s good rum at a great price; it’s just too bad that they didn’t have any higher-​end product.
It’s also too bad that I don’t have more room in the car for my return trip to Chicago, because with prices like these, I should stock up. We’re talking $ 16 for 750s of Grey Goose, Knob Creek, and Bombay Sapphire. I didn’t look at the scotch prices for fear of insurmountable temptation, but they had all the usual suspects plus other pleasant surprises such as Dalwhinnie.
