Sale Wines at the LCBO

Ever notice cases of wine at reduced prices at your local LCBO and wondered why and whether you should chance buying them? Well here’s the scoop. Generally, product is reduced to create warehouse and shelf space for other wine, especially new vintages. These products include too much of something that doesn’t move fast, seasonal stuff, obscure varietals or wine styles that the public is not familiar with, overpriced items and licencee orders that were not picked up for one reason or another. Occasionally, a specific region’s inventory must be trimmed down. All good buys, however, be aware of product that is reduced because it is getting old or stale. Just buy one to try. If OK, then stock up.
