Canadian package stores don't seem to carry the low end booze we see in U.S. Liquor store. Not sure what a Canadian alcoholic drinks in Canada. Beer is more in Canada but it is real beer, in taste and alcohol contest. Not the sissy watered down stuff the mega breweries sell here. If a person enjoys great beer, try some of the Canadian micro breweries, especially the Yukon Brewery in Whitehorse. I like the Yukon Red and my wife selects the Yukon Gold label. It produces the best beer I have ever tasted anywhere. My goal in life is to buy enough Red to make it home with some remaining, so far I haven't made it out of Canada with any. LOL
Hauling liquor,wine or beer to Canada , to me, would be like hauling coal to Pittsburgh. Why? As Bob mentioned, even if it costs more to buy in Canads, I doubt I spend more than $20 or $40 more on the round trip, for a much higher quality produce. Our northern neighbors produce some excellent wines in Ontario and British Columbia. Any booze imported from a Canadian Commomwealth member country is often cheaper in Canada ,than here in Florida, Goshling's Black Seal rum is one such product ..
