LCBO Vintages Releases since 2001
lfw reviews key- 
Gold trophy (90% domestic) 
Gold (80%) 
Silver (70%)
Bronze (60%) 
Merit (50%)...
In the 2002-03 Annual Report the LCBO stated:
“The goals of the partnership are to build Ontario wines’ market share in litres to 50 per cent over the next five years, including sales through winery retail stores and direct delivery to licensees, and support the industry’s efforts to create a world-class brand.”
Does this look like they are really trying? The simple fact is that the only competition to LCBO in Ontario is from the Ontario wine industry. Every time that an Ontario winery sells a bottle at the winery the LCBO gets no sales, no "Record Profits" and no management bonuses. When did WalMart last send you to Sears?
How stupid can we be? How will history see that generation called "Baby Boomers", those who "graduated" from Baby Duck to cheap imported factory brands in their early-onset dotage.
