在多伦多街头，常常会看到一些LCBO标志的商店。

LCBO意思为加拿大安大略省酒类控制局(Liquor Control Board of Ontario），为省政府机构，该机构对该安大略省酒类实行垄断经营。在其它省，你可以到杂货店、超市、餐馆或酒吧买酒，但在安大略省则必须到LCBO商店才能买到酒类饮品。

在LCBO中，酒类一般只卖给成年人，所以，如果你看上去比较年轻，则需出示你的相关身份证明，以表示你已是成年人。

另有一术语：

VQA（Vintners Quality Alliance，加拿大酒商质量联盟）认证，相当于法国的AOC认证。

The Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) is a provincial Crown corporation in Ontario, Canada established in 1927 by Lieutenant Governor William Donald Ross, on the advice of his Premier, Howard Ferguson, to sell liquor, wine, and beer through a chain of retail stores. Such sales had been banned outright in 1916; thus, the creation of the LCBO marked an easing of the province's temperance regime. LCBO stores are generally the only stores allowed to sell hard liquor in Ontario. Currently, the LCBO is one of the world's largest single purchasers of beverage alcohol products.Beer is also sold by the (Molson Coors, InBev and Sapporo Brewery owned) Brewers Retail Inc., which goes by the name The Beer Store. Wine can also be found in a number of stores operated by wineries and licensed to sell their own brands, however the LCBO is by far the largest wine retailer in the province. Licensed bars and restaurants may resell alcoholic beverages, but they must be consumed on the establishment's premises. The bars and restaurants themselves must buy their products from the LCBO, The Beer Store, or directly from Ontario wineries and breweries.
