Can you guess which spirits York countians love the most?

It turns out the top-selling spirit of 2023 was bourbon, and for wine it was California cabernet sauvignon.

Wine and spirits sales in Pennsylvania totaled $3.15 billion according to The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board 2022-2023 report, an increase of almost 4.5% compared to last year.

The PLCB regulates the distribution of alcohol in Pennsylvania through about 600 retail and wholesale sales locations statewide. It also licenses 20,000 alcohol producers, retailers and handlers.

According to the PLCB, the state's top-selling spirit was 50 ml bottles of Fireball Cinnamon Whisky, totaling $4,105,401 in sales, which makes sense considering all the tiny Fireball liquor bottles scattered across the sidewalks in York.
