The Sri Lankan Department of Excise has announced that all licensed wine stores and liquor outlets across the country will remain closed today (October 3) in observance of World Temperance Day.
Marked globally each year on October 3, World Temperance Day is dedicated to promoting public awareness on the values of moderation and, in many cases, abstinence from alcohol consumption.
Excise Commissioner General confirmed that liquor sales were suspended from closing time on October 2 and will resume only from opening hours on October 4, 2025.
