Now I actually (probably) spend too much on the real thing at liquor stores in Chinatown...not grocery stores. Some of the Chinatown liquor stores have quite the selection.
Interesting. I don't frequent Chinatown much but don't recall seeing liquor stores there. Canadian liquor laws are definitely archaic. I usually have dry sherry in the cupboard, along with vermouth for when I just need a splash of something.
