Well, it's not one where the product is basically unusable for 4-5 months out of the year

how about alcohol?

Service,I constantly see requests for people wanting handyman jobs done on FB.If I wasn’t scared of heights and wanted to return to the workforce I would clean gutters and do moss removal,could easily make 500 bucks a day.

In the US and Canada private equity is VERY focused on comoditizing home services.

Alcohol is government regulated in Canada,to get a privatized liquor store the licenses start around 1.5 million and you need to buy an existing business.

damn

even distributors without selling to the public?

Not sure about distribution,I know private vineyards can sell their own product onsite ,not sure if they have to pay for that privilege

The rules vary from province to province, but in Ontario the LCBO controls everything. The LCBO is one of the largest single purchasers of booze in the world. Same with the SAQ in Quebec.

Small producers can sell direct because the LCBO/SAQ have a rather large minimum requirement for them to carry a brand.

Not sure about other provinces.

Yes,I was only talking about BC.I know Alberta liquor is completely different than us,much cheaper.I think Ontario is very similar to us,price wise

We bought Ontario wine from the farmer's market across the street this morning, it's quite good. They show the production #s on the back label:

that's 7068 bottles

a standard 20 feet shipping container can fit 8500 bottles, all their production could fit in a single container

7068 bottles is 5,301 liters, my favorite llm says that's 1,400 gallons, the average yield is of 3–5 tons of grapes per acre, about 150–165 gallons per ton, 4 tons × 160 gallons/ton = 640 gallons/acre, if using the lower yield (3 tons, 150 gallons/ton): 450 gallons per acre, 1,400 ÷ 450 ≈ 3.11 acres to produce 589 cases

real mom and pop farm

how much did you pay for the bottle?

 

[Matty]

22 Canadian dollorz

They have like 8 different wines though. It seems like a fairly large independent operation. Will go check them out next time we go to Niagara. The rosé is good.

The only Rose I've had that I actually liked a lot was in Michigan.

It's called Loving Lips. Made with Pinot Noir.

Great for hot summer days.
