ERIE, Pa. (Erie News Now) – New Year’s Eve is popular time for everyone to get together and drink. But some of your favorite adult drinks might not be in stock if you wait too long to go shopping.

The pandemic has caused more and more people to consume alcohol. The PA Liquor Control Board saw online sale soar by more than 236% and achieved it’s highest net income ever and just over 2.9 billion dollars. They’ve also noticed some spirits are harder to find on the shelves or might not be there at all. With New Year’s Eve around the corner, you might be looking to stock up on your favorite drinks. Shawn Kelly, a spokesperson from PLCB says start shopping now.

“We encourage our customers to get to stores early. If there’s something they want and they’re not finding, ask one of our clerks, they’ll be happy to point you in the right direction. If what you want is unavailable, they’ll be able to point you in a different direction,” explains Kelly.





Supply chain issues have impacted almost every aspect of our lives. This week, those disruptions might impact you at the liquor store.

“There have been production issues, there have been transportation issues. Basically what you see impacting other industries is impacting the liquor industry,” says Kelly.

This has caused the PLCB to put a limit on how many bottles you can buy of your favorite spirit.





















“For instance some French champagnes are low because of production issues over in France,” says Kelly.

Grape production in France is low. Supply isn’t meeting demand, and that’s why some of your favorites from overseas might be limited. At PA liquor stores, different champagnes are limited to only two bottles per visit at the liquor store. Other liquors like some Jack Daniels, Hennessey and Don Julio are on the two bottle only list. That’s why Kelly is telling customers, start shopping for your liquors earlier rather than on new years eve.

“If the product is on the list we ask the customers buy up to two bottles of that product each day. You can go to a store if it’s in stock you can buy up two bottles, come back the next day and buy another two come back the next day and buy another two as long as the supply holds out,” explains Kelly.
