Under $20 is where the LCBO does most of its volume, and it's also where scores earn their keep — the difference between a great $16 bottle and a dull one is invisible on the shelf. As a rule of thumb, the sweet spots are Portugal, southern Italy, and Spain for reds, and Ontario Riesling, Vinho Verde, and South African Chenin Blanc for whites.

Every bottle in this guide is under twenty dollars at today's LCBO price and confirmed in stock somewhere in Ontario. Watch the deals section especially: a $22 wine marked down below $20 is frequently the strongest buy on this entire page, and Limited Time Offers rotate roughly monthly.

FAQ

Does under $20 include sale prices?

Yes. The page uses the current effective LCBO price, so a discounted wine can appear if the sale price is under $20.

Are taxes or deposits included?

WineRipe displays the LCBO price from the product data. Extra fees or deposits, if any, should be confirmed on the LCBO listing.
