For those who don't drink often, u may want to consider the 4L BOX.  Vacumn packed and wine is good for few months after opening box, only problem with the last few glasses after air get inside the "vacumn bag".

Reminder:  Those who want to buy CHEAP Ice Wine便宜的假冰酒, form group to do purchase together.  Minimum 30 bottles(375ml) per batch, $3.5-6/bottle.  U can buy the so called "Ottawa/Toronto Ice Wine" in Montreal, identical stuff.

Search for "Vin & Biere - Production, Fournitures . . . " in yellow pages (telephone book).  Call store to verify that they make that before going.  Requires 6-8 weeks pre-order.  I don't sell wine, ask people at the store for any question.

Merry x'mas + Happy New Year!!

浓缩葡萄汁 is 加拿大特产, as >90% of concentrates are made in Canada.  Reason:  tax on liquor are too high in Canada, hence bigger market for home wine making.

Costco sells Wine Kits from 2 manufacturers, one of them will be at Costco March 31 to April 20*:
Anjou, Québec
Boisbriand, Québec
Brossard, Québec
Candiac, Québec
Montreal, Qc (rue Bridge)
Pointe-Claire, Québec
Québec, Québec
Sherbrooke, Quebec
Ste-Foy, Québec
St-Hubert, Québec
St Jérome, Québec

In case u see Wine Kits at other Costco, it's from the 2nd supplier(buy the cheap one and be prepared to age your wine).  Normally, they only sell equipemnt once a year, around Feb.  Nobody(Costco/manufacturers/me) knows anything for sure nor ahead of time.

I don't sell wine/winekit, am only posting this Costco sales once.  Good luck and have fun!

"1. 自己做wine是买葡萄汁好，还是葡萄好，听说做酒的葡萄跟吃的葡萄不一样，你推荐到什么地方买葡萄或者葡萄汁呢？"
=> Pros and cons for each type, your choice!  Wine making supplies is a mature industry, u get what u pay for, ~$25 to ~$250 for ingredients to make 23L of wine.

"2. 你说的灌酒便宜的地方在哪里呀？ + 3. 假冰酒哪里有卖？"
=> Do a search on this website, use above key words, I've written quite a few times.  No specific store address as web master did and will delete.

I'll try to repost what I've written 2 years ago WHEN I FIND TIME.  Most likely after new year.  If web master delete them again, then that's it.  I don't like using phone, nice weekend!
