From a press release:

New for 2020, Fine Wine & Good Spirits has updated its standard shipping policy to provide free shipping to home and business addresses in Pennsylvania on orders over $99 placed on finewineandgoodspirits.com.

“The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board is committed to delivering an exceptional online shopping experience to consumers in terms of selection, value, and convenience,” said PLCB Chairman Tim Holden.

“The introduction of free shipping for orders over $99 makes it more cost-effective for consumers to easily access and order their favorite products online every day and have them shipped straight to their doors.”

In addition to free shipping to non-store addresses on orders over $99, fwgs.com now offers a flat shipping fee of $12 for up to three bottles and $2 for each additional bottle for delivery to store and non-store addresses in Pennsylvania.

To be eligible for free shipping, an order must total more than $99 before tax and must be sent to a non-Fine Wine & Good Spirits store address in Pennsylvania. Multiple orders cannot be combined to satisfy the minimum order amount. Free shipping does not apply to special order items, limited release lottery items, wine futures, used barrels, or licensee purchases. Free shipping applies only to items currently in e-commerce inventory, while supplies last. An adult 21 years of age or older must be present at delivery to show a valid ID and sign for the purchase. The updated shipping and delivery policy is available online, and all other terms and conditions for purchases made on fwgs.com apply.

The website provides consumers with access to more than 6,400 items, including its most popular items found in stores across Pennsylvania, as well as hundreds of premium collection and “Chairman’s Selection” items, with the convenience of direct delivery.

The PLCB regulates the distribution of beverage alcohol in Pennsylvania, operates 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 nearly $18.5 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.
