Brett happens

It appears that 17 of the wines and spirits in the LCBO’s January 22nd release are also available at the SAQ (“appears” because the monopolies’ listings for three of the wines – asterisked below – differ slightly and, despite visits to the producers’ websites, I’ve not been able to confirm that they are exactly the same bottlings).
