A representative of the Wine Rack, a subsidiary of the world-wide wine company Vincor International, has been door to door on South Bayview checking to see if spaces are for lease. The Wine Rack has some 160 or so outlets in Canada. If the Wine Rack were to open here, it would be very good news indeed. Vincor is one of only two organizations permitted to sell wine at retail in Ontario, apart from the LCBO. This comes about as a result of a so-called grandfather clause associated with the introduction of free trade in 1990. Many merchants on Bayview would be glad to sell the odd bottle of wine, but they would be clapped in jail for trying. The Wine Rack also is experimenting with the concept of wine kiosks
