In addition to whisky, Bucks County drinkers love red table wines and have spent over $27.5 million on this classic last year, writes Damon C. Williams for the Bucks County Courier Times.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board recently published its annual report for the 2022-2023 fiscal year, reflecting Pennsylvania residents’ drinking patterns.

“In all 67 counties, whiskey ranked as the top share of sales,” reads the report.

“Vodka had the second-highest share of sales in 63 counties, while red table wine ranked as the second-highest share of sales in Bucks, Chester and Montgomery counties.”

Out of $2.96 billion in total liquor sales in Pennsylvania, Bucks County accounted for $173.3 million, or 6.84 percent. That is a 3.13 percent increase from $168.1 million the previous year.
