> Since they're in BC, they can ship to Alberta too!

Is that right? How does that work?

It's way cheaper to ship something to a neighbouring province than to the US.

Ahh.. BC = British Columbia, not Bitcoin.

I thought there was some loophole in shipping or tax regulations with Bitcoin :)

Province to Province is easy pickin's. Still, the tax on wine in BC (as compared to the states on the west coast) is pretty steep.

That said, variety in wine is already worth exploring.

I'd love it if I could get Alberta liquor stores to ship to Ontario or Quebec, but every one I've checked online won't do it. The same tends to be true for US dealers. There isn't an easy way to get around the price-gouging by the provincial monopolies.
