The Private Import FAQ
You’re dining in a restaurant and the waiter pours a wine that knocks your socks off. You ask to see the bottle. “Is this available at the SAQ,” you ask. “No,” the waiter replies. “It’s a private import brought in by the XYZ agency.” The next day, you call XYZ and order a case. A week or two later, you receive a call from a nearby SAQ outlet telling you your wine has arrived. You drop by the outlet, pay for your bottles and take them home with you.
Yes, ordering private imports can be that simple and straightforward. Except when it isn’t.
And since you’ll find not a word about private imports on the SAQ.com website, I’ve put together an FAQ on the ins and outs of ordering wines through the private import channel. You’ll find it after the jump.
