Alcoholic Beverage Control
Virginia is an alcoholic beverage control state. Distilled spirits, plus wine greater than 14% alcohol by volume, are available for off-premises sale solely in state-owned and operated retail outlets, or on premises in licensed eating establishments governed by the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board. Virginia's ABC Board, as it is known, also licenses off-premises sale of beer and some wines by retailers.
