Most wines are bought and consumed with 24 hours of purchasing.
Many consumers buy their table wine along with their groceries in the local store.
The Provincial Government controls the sale of wines and therefore most wines are bought from a Liquor Board controlled store, thus limiting the selection. An ideal solution is to visit the winery or its website. One can drive a few miles into Vancouver and find some good Wine stores with better selections. The laws regarding transportion and the shipping of wine vary from province to province, state to state. Please check with the local government organization to see if you can have wine shipped to you before ordering.
