All wine shops and liquor sales outlets will be closed on 25 and 26 December, in view of Christmas Day (Dec.25) and Unduwap Full Moon Poya Day (Dec.26), as per the directives of the Commissioner General of the Excise Department.
However, the Excise Department noted that in consideration of the influx of tourists, and on behalf of their convenience, it has been decided to allow all star-class hotels approved by the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA) with valid liquor licenses to sell liquor on December 25.
However, all liquor stores including the SLTDA-approved establishments with valid liquor licenses will remain closed on Poya Day (Tuesday).
