NEWPORT, Pa., Aug. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) today welcomed local officials and the public to the grand opening of a new Fine Wine & Good Spirits store at CrestView Plaza, 201 Fickes Lane, Newport, Perry County.

With almost 4,800 square feet of space, this store features more than 2,000 wines and spirits, including the popular Chairman's Advantage® wines, which are hand-selected and highly rated wines available for less than $10 a bottle.

This Fine Wine & Good Spirits store offers a warm, welcoming atmosphere for consumers to browse the extensive selection. The focal point of the store is a new table, where customers can find staff to answer questions or provide recommendations, highlighted promotional items and educational materials for customers such as:

• Answers to frequently asked questions about wine and spirits
• A vintage chart
• A food pairing outline
• A party planning guide
• A calorie chart
• Tips for responsible hosting and consumption

The store includes a "Made in Pennsylvania" section that highlights products produced in the commonwealth and a Pennsylvania Lottery machine.

Throughout design and construction, the PLCB was committed to developing a store that is attractive and environmentally responsible. Most store lighting is state-of-the-art LED or energy-efficient compact-fluorescent lighting, which uses a fraction of the energy of traditional lighting.

The Newport Fine Wine & Good Spirits store will be open from 11:30 AM through 6:00 PM Monday through Thursday and from 11:30 A.M. through 8:00 P.M. Friday and Saturday. The store phone number is 717-567-2068. To find additional store locations and hours, visit www.FineWineAndGoodSpirits.com.

The PLCB regulates the distribution of beverage alcohol in Pennsylvania, operates more than 600 wine and spirits stores statewide, and licenses 20,000 alcohol producers, retailers, and handlers. The PLCB also works to reduce and prevent dangerous and underage drinking through partnerships with schools, community groups, and licensees. Taxes and store profits – totaling $15.1 billion since the agency's inception – are returned to Pennsylvania's General Fund, which finances Pennsylvania's schools, health and human services programs, law enforcement, and public safety initiatives, among other important public services. The PLCB also provides financial support for the Pennsylvania State Police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement, the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs, other state agencies, and local municipalities across the state.
