Buying Wines:
All wines are not available in all stores; you can check your local online liquor store website for a particular wine. Usually, larger stores carry more wine brands than smaller stores. In Canada, each province has its own liquor board, usually all differently named; Examples:

Nova Scotia, Nova Scotia Liquor Commission, NSLC, website, mynslc.com

Ontario, Ontario Liquor Control Board, LCBO, website, LCBO.com

British Columbia, British Columbia Liquor Distribution, website BC Liquor Stores.com

Most Canadian provinces have some privately owned liquor agency stores, acting on behalf of the liquor board for its province; licensed to sell liquor to the public. Usually these are in rural and remote areas of a province, except for the province of Alberta which has mostly privately owned agency liquor stores.

In USA, many states have agency liquor stores, and many shopping stores, large and small, also sell liquor products. In the United States, consumers can buy liquor online and have it shipped to them. Websites like Wine.com, have large wine inventories.

In Canada, online wine purchasing is only available with Province to Province Liquor websites, and, they only ship or have pickup within their own province. The exception to this is Canadian Made Wines, which can be purchased online and shipped anywhere in Canada; at this website - MyWineCanada.com
