The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s executive director put Philadelphia-based Stateside Vodka on notice in June with a sharply worded letter.
It read, in part: “Let me be clear that the PLCB wants to buy all [ready-to-drink cocktail] varieties sold by your company in all configurations, unless we expressly state otherwise.”
