I'm glad you said it. I was waiting to see if someone else would point out the horrible selection.
I can see the the purchasing clerks from Air Canada rummaging through the discard and return sections of the various provincial liquor commissions.
The only constant positive aspect I can offer on US airlines is that their wine selection is almost always more palatable than the vinaigrette Air Canada serves.
I believe it comes in two forms; i) Reconstituted from powder with alcohol added, and ii) iImported in bulk tanker and bottled in Quebec under invented variety names. That's how they allowed wines to be sold in grocery stores. The SAQ came up with the names for many of the brands too. If you look at the grocery store variety, there usually is no statement of vintage, appellation, or specific grape type. It's sort of like when I was a kid and I would raid my dad's liquor cabinet with a mason jar. An ounce here, an ounce there and he was none the wiser. (Actually he was, but blamed my older brother.).
I suppose I am sort of expecting AC to go the wine in a box route. A big box of kool aid coloured red.

I had to google "LCBO" since I figured that was some online abbreviation my kids haven't taught me yet...
Seriously though, I expect some better wines in J. Even DLs are better (and they are "coiffable but far from transcendent").
Try flying EK, EY, QR, or SQ - Real wines are served on these carriers!
