Toronto Wine Shops?

[Thomas]

I am sure that some brand names are the same wines found in other locales under a different name, and that some brands are assigned to certain region/locales, for whatever marketing reason the big guys use.

As for the prices, LCBO takes a large cut.

One other matter: I remember when I had a NY winery that, like Pennsylvania in the U.S., the Ontario LCBO demanded a certain production volume in order for a producer to sell to them--which often ruled out small producers and favored brand names.
