Ontario has a bunch of make-your-own wine companies that work like wine bricks.
1. you buy 5 gallons of grape juice for ~$20 per gallon.
2. yeast is dropped into your grape juice
3. you come to the store to decant your grape juice into wine bottles and cork them up.
Since no alcohol is bought or sold, you avoid the (very high) taxes on liquor. You end up with ~28 bottles of wine for ~$4 per bottle.
It's not the greatest wine, but it's ok for sangria and cooking, and it's a good story if you hang out with people who like to talk about tax loopholes...
