There are a lot of very nice Italian, Australian and South American reds too, but if they get to the US, the prices are again high. In my part of the mid-west I'm lucky to find any at all
Hum... you have some excellent California wineries who produce very nice wines at cheap price in US but who are quite expensive here

Name : US : CAN

Fetzer Cab Sauv : 7$ US : 18$ cdn
Robert Mondavi Cab Sauv: 10$ US : 22$ cdn
Beringer Zinfandel : 10$ US : 20$ cdn


The liquors and wie are controlled by the government here which take a huge profit
