TORONTO, Sept. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - The LCBO, with Wine Country Ontario, is launching goLOCAL - Find Your Favourite, its 20th consecutive fall promotion of Ontario wines. The promotion, which traditionally boosts Ontario wine sales, follows a strong spring and summer for Ontario VQA table wines which have seen almost 13 per cent year-over-year sales growth.
Some 130 products from 50 Ontario wineries will be featured in 619 LCBO stores during the promotion until October 8. Thirty of the wines are new releases (20 from LCBO Wines Category and 10 from VINTAGES). There will also be 1,850 tastings at LCBO stores, food and wine pairing sessions at LCBO outlets with event kitchens and a "Find your Favourite" Blog Challenge.
