Interesting to know. I think I have too much shame to walk back in there with some boozy shards of glass and a receipt. Maybe if it was a $20 bottle...
I'd have no shame to do that, in fact the low price argues in your favor. LCBO break stuff all the time. I'd pack up just enough of the pieces with the bottle label and the sealed neck portion, not the whole thing!
Test everything, that's the motto here.

I called the store and was told that if the bottle had broken in the parking lot, I'd get a replacement. Otherwise not. I could probably show up and argue for it, but I'd rather not.

On-premises liability for a slip-and-drop? Well at least that's something. Can ask another store, they each seem very discretionary (or a few of them just make up answers when they don't know.)

In the case of a bottle developing a crack or a bottle neck coming apart when you uncap (Dieu du Ciel), that's a manufacturing flaw they should still be responsible for as much as a spoiled product.

i wonder if my email to them yesterday, asking them to add the xmas stock to the website had any effect, or maybe they just finally got around to it
