Mike B. wrote:Here in the supposedly free-market driven Alberta, my favourite wine store has just been informed they can no longer carry Coppola's Sofia blanc de blanc in cans because the 187 mL size is an odd number. For some reason, odd numbers for wine are verboten for retailers, but allowed in a restaurant or bar.
And to point out the inconsistency in the rules, a bottle of beer is 341mL.
