This is a little off-topic but a friend, Michael Godel, has just launched a new online service called Vintage Direct
that offers information about wine for sold in Ontario and provides
home delivery. For those of you south of the border, this is probably
old news (Wine.com, etc.) but
Ontario's liquor market is controlled by the provincial
government, which makes a cool $1-billion a year in "profits". As a
result, most people shop at government-owned and operated stores.
Vintage Direct aims to take wine-buying to a new level by offering
members, who pay $18 a month or $200 a year, with extensive reviews of
new wines that can be delivered on a monthly or twice-a-month basis.
Now, if you want some food delivered with your win, Michael also
operates a catering service called All Our Favourite Foods. Another good resource for wine lovers in Ontario is Billy's Best Bottles, a newsletter written by Billy Munnelly's, who focuses on good wines at reasonable prices.

Wine labels are important sources of information for consumers since they tell the type and origin of the wine. The label is often the only resource a buyer has for evaluating the wine before purchasing it. Certain information is ordinarily included in the wine label, such as the country of origin, quality, type of wine, alcoholic degree, producer, bottler, or importer
