I did not know Alberta has privitized...as a matter of fact, the liquor price has almost doubled.
Last month I was in Vancouver, and found a number of labels I could not find in Calgary.
Dom Perignon cost >$230 here, while Moet & Chandon charges $60. These are the most expensive prices in the world.

I live in BC and the control board here makes it very difficult to get foreign wines as they are trying to protect the BC wine industry. I actually drive to Calgary a couple of times a year and stock up on hard to get wines.
