If you had your heart set on serving exclusively Dom Perignon at your champagne party this weekend, you might want to consider mixing in some other brands.

As of Friday, Pennsylvania’s state-run liquor stores are starting to ration sales of some products. It’s a response to what is being described as a supply shortage.

The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board alerted its license holders Thursday that two-bottle-per-day limits for some products at state stores will remain in place indefinitely.

The PLCB cited “sustained supply chain disruptions and product shortages” as the primary cause of restrictions on some 43 items.

PLCB spokesman Shawn Kelly told the Associated Press that bars, restaurants and other customers were informed of the purchase restrictions and he blamed them on the pandemic.

“If you take a look at stories that have come out from around the country because of covid-19, supply chains have been disrupted, production had been disrupted,” said Kelly. “In some cases there have been shortages of cans and bottles.”

The list of items to be rationed includes specific brands of bourbon, champagne, cognac, tequila and whiskey. Among them: Dom Perignon Champagne, several varieties of Moet & Chandon and Veuve Clicquot Champagne, Hennessy Cognac, Jack Daniel’s Old No. 7 Black Label Tennessee Whiskey and Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey.
