Bethlehem – The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board today announced that the Fine Wine & Good Spirits at Westgate Mall, 2289 Schoenersville Rd., Bethlehem, Northampton County, will remain open. It will not close for renovations today, as had been anticipated.
To accommodate customers shopping for wines, spirits, and accessories, a temporary store was set to open this morning. The renovation project at the Westgate Mall location will still occur at a later date to be determined.

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 $18.7 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.
