We have liquor store up the road from me that sells decent cut-price beer and wine but only until 11:00pm so you have to plan ahead or wander into the bar next door that serves until 2:00am.

Well, they only just started it here. They were making a real show of it as well with tastings and free biscuits and chocs.
Our local Urban Fare lets you buy beer and wine to drink while you're having something to eat in their little cafe. They don't even have a fence around it. |

Was save on foods.
No fence or anything, just a fancy looking aisle. Put the bottle in the trolley with the rest of my groceries and paid for it at the same time like in a civilised country :thumbsup: |

Have yet to figure out the over regulation of booze in parts if not all of Canada.
But then I grew up in CA where supermarkets and gas stations have sold booze for as long as I can remember. I think some states even have drive thru liquor stores lile fast food. |

One of the Superstores here has been selling wine for a couple of years but it's a long way from a bit of everything that you find in the liquor store. Apart from the Rosé which you can't really go wrong with (if you don't mind it) I don't find the selection tempting. |

How was the selection compared to the liquor store?

Still, I'm hoping this means that the writing is on the wall when it comes to getting rid of the LCBC. Nobody wants them around apart from the union and a few puritan crazy people. |

There's a decent enough selection, certainly big enough if you are only buying a few bottles for your weekly plonk. There's a BC liquor store near by which does have a bigger selection, and also has booze that isn't wine.

Nah, they won't give up on that cash cow. They just open the valve now and again to let off a bit of steam hoping to lessen the demand for comprehensive reform.
Anyway, this is literally the best thing to happen in BC for ages. The people in the liquor stores are bloody miserable and they always have stupid tip jars with a single toonie in. I've never seen anyone fall for this transparent priming though; maybe that's why they are miserable. |
