About this guide
Our top picks combine trusted ratings, price and availability. Each recommendation uses one exact LCBO listing, with prices and stock refreshed daily. Scarcity never improves a wine’s rank.
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.
Start with eight 750 mL recommendations at 25 or more stores. Each pick keeps its own price, bottle size and availability together. Clearance bottles and limited-stock finds have their own sections, so a one-store bargain cannot lead the main list. Choose your LCBO above to check these exact listings.

FAQ
Does under $20 include sale prices?

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.
