Ontario retail alcohol sales are heavily regulated. The LCBO (Liquor Control Board of Ontario) has exclusive rights to import wine and only sells that wine at its retail stores. They reserve a big section of their stores for Ontario wines. Ontario wineries can get approval to open retail stores, but the product they sell can be at most a 50% foreign blend. So you always have more retail locations and a wider selection with Ontario wines.
