Thanks to the rise of Canadian online wine shops, buying wine online has become a seamless and enjoyable experience. Whether you’re stocking up for a restaurant, curating a sommelier’s collection, or simply looking to explore new flavors at home, the digital wine market offers something for everyone.

Let me walk you through everything you need to know about this exciting trend.


Why Choose Canada Online Wine Shops?


Canada online wine shops have transformed the way we think about purchasing wine. Instead of being limited to local stores or government-run outlets, you can now explore wines from across the globe with just a few clicks. Here’s why these shops are becoming the go-to option:

Arret Wines is a boutique winery owned and operated by a young duo/couple, Rok and Maja, with a vision of producing and selling world-class quality, wines from Lower Carniola in Šentjernej, Slovenia.

Winemaker Maja in her essence


Arret Wines is more than just what is in the bottle. It is a story of a wine nerd, going all in, changing the job to fully devote his time to vineyards and wine, and creating his vision for a first-generation winery – boutique winery Arret wines.

Arret Wines Rooster Run, arriving on LCBO shelves soon


Arret is a concept in ancient Greek thought that, in its most basic sense, refers to ‘excellence’ of any kind. A person of arete is of the highest effectiveness; they use all of their faculties—strength, bravery, and wit—to achieve the best results. And in these we believe in Arret Wines winery.

Chilling Release, Warming Wine: The Sur De Los Andes Sell-Out

While the temperatures across Ontario took a dive this past weekend, wine lovers in Ottawa, Toronto, and Barrie were undeterred. On February 7th, the LCBO saw a flurry of activity for the highly anticipated Vintages release of the 2022 Sur De Los Andes Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva. If you didn’t make it to one of the selected stores early, you likely missed out—all feature locations reported record sales on this Weekend Pre-Sale.

The 2022 Vintage: A High-Altitude Hero

For those lucky enough to snag a bottle (or experience the in-store tasting bars), the quality was immediately evident. The 2022 vintage is a masterclass in the Argentine "Premium Blend" style.

By marrying the plush, violet-inflected fruit of Malbec with the structural backbone and spice of Cabernet Sauvignon, Sur De Los Andes has crafted something truly special.

  • The Profile: Expect a bright and spicy red with enticing undertones of hazelnut and vanilla.

  • The Palate: Full-bodied and creamy, balanced by a lively acidity that keeps the dark plum and blackcurrant notes fresh.

  • The Score: It’s no surprise this wine earned a solid 91 points, cementing its reputation for "quality far beyond its price point."

Why It’s the "No-Brainer" of the Season

At a generous price of $17.95, this bottle is the ultimate "utility player" for your wine cellar. It’s sophisticated enough to impress at a formal dinner party (think grilled ribeye or a hearty lamb ragu) but accessible enough for a low-key Tuesday night.

As we head into mid-February, there’s no better way to beat the sub-zero chill than curling up on the couch with a glass of this rich, warming red and the person you love most.

The Ultimate Valentine’s Day Secret

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, this sell-out release has become the "it" bottle for romantic celebrations. Its deep garnet hue and velvet finish make it the perfect companion for a shared steak dinner or a selection of dark chocolates.

Missed the release? Keep your eyes peeled on the LCBO inventory app for any stray bottles, or check in with your local Vintages consultant. This is one Argentine gem that won't stay on shelves for long.
