How We Operate
The Company holds a License to Represent Manufacturer issued by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (the “AGCO”) for its representation of each of the vintners and distillers depicted on the Website, and carries on business to the public as “Azureau Wines & Spirits”. We offer for sale and deliver wine to you purchased through the Consignment Program operated by the Private Ordering provisions of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (“LCBO”), and we or our affiliates are authorized by the LCBO as a consignment agent.
LCBO Guidelines define our role as a Manufacturer’s Representative or agent, we do not “sell” wine. Rather, the LCBO regards you to be its customer. We are the intermediary which processes the sale of wine from the LCBO to you. “Processes” means that we represent our manufacturers and assist in the transaction of your purchase from the LCBO. In some cases, information is requested by the LCBO from us for the submission of orders and the LCBO is bound by the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, as is Azureau Wines & Spirits. Should you ever feel the LCBO has used this information for purposes other than the completion of a sale, please notify Azureau Wines & Spirits. In particular, if you are contacted by the LCBO with questions about your purchase history, you are under no obligation to respond.
The wine prices shown on the Website are inclusive of the LCBO sale price, licensee discounts and markups and fees charged by Azureau Wines & Spirits. The LCBO sale price is available upon request.
