Areas of Activity

Executive Spirits & Wines provides regular analysis of alcoholic beverages in Ontario available primarily through LCBO retail stores or your local restaurant. Our mission is to showcase the products to try, the places to go and the people to know. We do this through bi-weekly newsletters and analysis and articles posted to this site and through our social media channels. Videos posted to YouTube will be an occasional surprise.

Product reviews

Everyone's preference is subjective. We aggregate scores from the world's greatest reviewers and publications to try to provide an objective ranking of products available in Ontario. Hopefully these indexes and summaries will help you discover news products from around the world.

Brand evaluation

Our proprietary process reviews each new product release and combines price and rating factors to create an objective index score for value. This evaluation process is free of any influence and is not part of a mandate to sell you specific products from any particular company.

Food and wine pairings

One of our goals is to help educate people (in a fun way) about the best ways to pair food and drinks. While the saying, "what grows together, goes together" is a good start, it's much more complicated than that. We hope to highlight great local dishes with the appropriate partner.

Commentary and perspective
Supplementing our product reviews, expect analysis of what's happening in the beverage industry and with government regulation. Executive Spirits & Wines is not a news source, but we're certainly shaped by what's happening in the wider world too. When that happens, we'll share it with you.
Industry coverage

Follow us on social media and receive our newsletter to get a news wrap-up with links and citations from major drink publications. We'll cut through the noise to highlight the most interesting and humorous stories of the month.
