SAQ Dépôt

Yesterday, we went to the SAQ Dépôt - Société des alcools du Quéec, the provincial liquor monopoly in Quebec. This should not be confused with the SAAQ, which we blogged about a while back. SAQ good. SAAQ bad.

The great thing about the SAQ Depôt is that they have a vin en vrac (bulk wine) zone.

First, you clean your bottles at the bottle washing station. We skipped that step, since we washed our bottles at home.

Then, you select a wine and fill you bottles, we got 6 bottles of the Côtes du Rhône AC and 6 bottles of the Bordeaux AOC white wine.


Then you go to the corking station.

(1) Load the bottle


(2) Insert the cork.


(3) Push the cork into the bottle.


(4) Et Voilà - a bottle of wine.
