Ontario wine agents are voicing concerns over the Liquor Control Board of Ontario's (LCBO) decision to remove California wines from its shelves due to ongoing trade disputes, while grocery stores like Costco and Loblaws continue to sell these products. Agents have expressed frustration over the lack of communication from the LCBO regarding inventory and shipments. Premier Doug Ford's announcement in March led to a sweeping ban on U.S.-made alcohol products, pushing for support of Canadian brands, yet these policy inconsistencies have left agents feeling disadvantaged.
Ontario wine agents are frustrated that while the LCBO has pulled all California wines from its shelves, grocery stores and giants like Costco continue to sell these products.
