WineRipe selects the opening shortlist for different tastes and budgets using LCBO product descriptions, matched community ratings and current availability. The flavour notes are summaries of the linked LCBO sources, not first-hand tastings. Source notes checked Sep 14, 2026.
Each featured pick must be a 750 mL single bottle at 25 or more stores, with a trusted rating match and no clearance offer. Our dry pick has no more than 5 g/L of listed sugar; the sweeter pick has at least 12 g/L. Sugar helps distinguish the styles, but acidity and tannin also affect how sweet a wine tastes. The budget pick must cost less than $20, and the splurge pick $25–$50.
Prices, sugar and stock come from the same exact LCBO listing and are checked at each daily refresh. A pick is removed if it no longer qualifies. Scores summarize matched community ratings on a 100-point scale; they are not WineRipe tasting scores and may cover multiple vintages. We show a vintage only when it appears in the LCBO listing name. The lists below the shortlist are ranked automatically by rating, price and availability; scarcity never improves a wine’s rank.
Start with the dry Sauvignon Blanc pick for a crisp style, the budget Chardonnay for a fuller white, or the Moscato if you prefer sweetness. The sections above also separate current deals and bottles under $20.
