University-approved Supplier and Transporter of Wine and Spirits
Effective immediately, the university has two approved companies working together to procure and deliver wine and spirits. These companies will replace Specialized Wine and Spirits as they no longer provide these services. Both companies will have the same point of contact, Gary Wills.
Lids Liquor Delivery, LLC is a university-approved supplier for the delivery of wine and spirits, and The Pennsylvania Winery and Distillery Management Company, LLC (PAWDMC) is the university-approved supplier of the procurement of wine and spirits from a PA state liquor store.
In addition to wine and spirits, University staff may purchase wines and spirits for consumption at approved on-campus University events and local dinners. Alcohol may not be purchased for resale, except by those University entities holding valid Pennsylvania liquor licenses. Wine/spirits purchases are NOT exempt from Pennsylvania sales tax.
For events outside Pennsylvania, the liquor laws of the state where the event is held will govern. In all cases, the alcohol must be used in accordance with the University Alcohol Policy.
