B.C. Liquor Store wine price raises eyebrows

Huge price difference between B.C. and Ontario makes one wonder where profit is going

I don’t drink, but it is nice to have wine on hand for friends.

So when I saw a glowing review in an Ontario newspaper for a $10 bottle of imported red wine (Argento 2011 Bonarda), I checked the B.C. liquor store wine listings online.

They stock it, but at $14.99 – a 50-per-cent price difference.

Who is profiting here?
