The LCBO is urging residents to stock up early this holiday season to prevent any supply chain-induced disappointments.
The LCBO says transportation issues and the “ongoing considerations of COVID-19” – including changes to consumer demand – have led to a booze shortage.
Imported products are more likely to be affected, including some champagnes, wines from New Zealand, Australia and South America, as well as tequila and scotch.
