amazinglife Posted September 5, 2012 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Would like to purchase wine to bring onboard near port. Can I buy wine in a grocery store or is there a specific store I can go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephraim Posted September 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Wine sales are divided in two in Quebec. SAQ - Government alcohol store, full service and a large selection of wine available. Largest selection of French wines outside of France Depaneur/Grocery store - Wine is sold but the type of grape cannot be identified. So you can buy white, red or rosé and know the country of origin, but all wine is table wine and grape will not be identified. The two closest SAQ stores are 1 des Carriers, Québec, QC G1R 5J5 and 400 Bd Jean Lesage, Québec, QC G1K 8W1 You can look up the wine selections at http://www.saq.com and yes, there is a button for English.

amazinglife Posted September 5, 2012 Author #3 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Is SAQ like LCBO in Ontario?:confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ephraim Posted September 6, 2012 #4 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Is SAQ like LCBO in Ontario?:confused: Yes, government run. Except that most beer in the province is sold by supermarkets/corner stores (depanneur), so we have no brewer's retail and the SAQ stocks very little in beer, mostly wine and spirits. http://www.saq.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/GeneralContentView?langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&page=%2fnh%2fHome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sail7seas Posted September 8, 2012 #6 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Taxes in Quebec City and Montreal both are very high. It amazes us each year when we visit the taxes charged on everything one purchases. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drink Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio but do not know if SAQ carries that? Slightly higher than Ontario, usually. That wine is $18.95 in Quebec. http://www.saq.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&catalogId=10001&langId=-2&productId=83229&parent_category_rn=&shouldCachePage= to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
