The province is speeding up its expansion of alcohol sales. Beer, wine, cider and ready-to-drink cocktails were set to hit convenience store shelves and more

Beer, wine, cider and ready-to-drink cocktails were set to hit convenience store shelves and more grocery stores by 2026.

“We are delivering on our commitment to give consumers in Ontario the choice and convenience every other Canadian enjoys and we’re doing so even sooner than we had originally promised,” said Premier Doug Ford.

On August 1, 2024, the up to 450 grocery stores that are currently licensed to sell beer, cider or wine will also be able to sell ready-to-drink beverages. These grocery stores will also be able to start offering consumers large-pack sizes like the 30-pack that is popular in Quebec. After October 31, 2024, all eligible grocery and big-box stores will be able to sell beer, cider, wine and ready-to-drink beverages, including in large pack sizes.
