    I’m pretty sure the LCBO sells on consignment. They’ll just ship it all back.

    It’s one of the benefits of being the largest single booze purchaser in the world.

      Yep, this is it. The LCBO hasn’t bought any of it. It’s sold on consignment, so the producer only gets paid once it sells. They’re not losing any money here, and they’re not throwing it out.
