Not allowing Special Orders will cost jobs and force small businesses to close, while resulting in lost tax income for the state, not to mention the tremendous loss for consumers looking to purchase quality wines for the duration of this pandemic.

access to our wine orders helps to keep folks working throughout the chain. our customers are familiar/used to a certain style of wine that also represents the style of business that we are. please take our petition into consideration.

The PLCB’s refusal to allow direct delivery of SLO wine is jeopardizing my job, hundreds of other jobs like mine, as well as the survival of our companies.

Let's change laws now and for the future so the wine industry isn't stuck in archaic laws and allows more adaptability for profits - pandemic or not.

Small wine distributors like me who are currently unemployed because they have no possibility of income are, according to Gov. Wolf, considered essential.

Even before this lockdown, this unnecessary step in the distribution chain has been nothing but an impediment to doing my job. Now it’s threatening to put my whole store out of business.

Super important during this incredulous time to allow for exceptions to certain laws inhibiting all from procuring or purveying wine. Farmers come in all shapes and sizes and winemakers should be included!

Support small business. The grocery chains do not need this revenue nor extra people shopping for one item.

If the PLCB returns approximately $185M to the general fund each year, and 4.5% of that come from SOs (per their latest annual report), then Special Orders generate $8.325M per year (~$23,000 per day) for the General Fund. The PLCB decided to arbitrarily shutdown SOs on March 16th. That decision, then, has already cost the state of PA nearly $500,000 in tax revenue for the General Fund and cost thousands of jobs for those that work in restaurants selling wine-to-go and the small wine distributors that service those licensees through the SO program. Both restaurant licensees selling wine-to-go and wine distributors are already considered “essential” by the Governor. The PLCB refusing direct delivery of SOs is shortsighted at best and in violation of Act 39 at worst.
