Convenience stores in Ontario will be allowed to sell fortified wine
Convenience stores in Ontario will soon be permitted to sell fortified wines like port and sherry, CTV News has learned.
A senior government source says that the regulatory change amounts to “housekeeping” as the products could already be sold in grocery stores under existing legislation.
Thousands of licensed convenience stores in Ontario are already permitted to sell beer, cider, wine and ready-to-drink beverages.
Convenience stores are not permitted to sell wine with alcohol content that exceeds 18 per cent or beer, cider, and ready-to-drink beverages where the alcohol content surpasses 7.1 per cent.
