On wine -- It sloweth age, it strengtheneth youth, it helpeth digestion, it abandoneth melanchole, it relisheth the heart, it lighteneth the mind, it quickeneth the spirits, it keepeth and preserveth the head from whirling, the eyes from dazzling, the tongue from lisping, the mouth from snaffling, the teeth from chattering and the throat from rattling; it keepeth the stomach from wambling, the heart from swelling, the hands from shivering, the sinews from shrinking, the veins from crumbling, the bones from aching, and the marrow from soaking.
                                                                          -- Anonymous 13th century manuscript.
                                                                                                                  
This page lists all of the wines represented by Mainbrace International in Atlantic Canada, together with their prices. Note that after a brief experiment with tax-out prices for wines sold in their stores, the Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation has gone back to tax-in pricing.  What what you see is what you pay at NSLC.
