YORK, Pa. – The first Rutter’s location to sell wine started sales last week marking the first of seven Rutter’s locations planning to sell wine with beer.

Rutter’s wine stores will carry a selection that includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir and other varietals. The wine department will be set up near the beer caves and feature an array of brands.

In accordance with PA Law Act 39, Rutter’s customers will be able to purchase up to 3,000ml (3 liters) of wine. This equates to 4 standard bottles (750 ml.) and 2 large bottles (1.5 liters). Wine sale hours will differ from beer, in conformity with Act 39: Monday-Saturday from 7:00 am-11:00 pm and on Sundays from 9:00 am-11:00 pm.

“The passing of Act 39 was not only a huge deal for us as retailers, but also for our customers. We are now able to provide them with even more convenience. We are devoted to responsible retailing. Any employee that will be selling alcohol is RAMP certified. We also have our own house rule to card everyone. We are excited to expand on our beer sales and now include wine at Rutter’s,” said Derek Gaskins, chief customer officer at Rutter’s.
