A fine wine for grape lovers

We used out editorial page today to talk about what has been a pretty good week for wine lovers in Pennsylvania.

First, you can now buy wine in some supermarkets. The Acme at Granite Run was the first in Delaware County to offer wine sales. Others soon will follow.

The next day state Sen. Tom Killion, R-9, was at the Grace Winery in Glen Mills to kick off another new aspect of the wine biz in Pa., direct shipments of wine to customers' homes.

That's something state residents have been unable to do up to this point, instead being forced to go through their local state store. Both are welcome developments.

But we concur with Killion, who noted the state still has a long way to go when it comes to how it regulates the sale of alcohol. We're emerging from the Dark Ages, slowly.

But this remains a far cry from what most people in other states take for granted.
