Drinkvine is awesome. Like many others, I basically have been able to ignore the new LCBO site, because Drinkvine is so great. (I have no idea what those above who refer to the "Food and Drink page" are talking about, for example. Briefly took a look but couldn't find a search function).

One thought for Drinkvine: any chance a store's hours could be added when you click through to a store that has one of your drinks in stock?

Maybe I'm misreading your suggestion, but store hours are there for me.

Also, how are they tasting?

They are both good, but I will tell you for nothing that the Midtfyns could easily benefit from a half decade of age. It is big and masks its own subtleties. It's too big. If it were a man, it would wear a size 52 jacket. Big.

lcbo.com shows name as Bryghus Midtfyns, you were correct.

So far stock is everywhere and nowhere - slow to put it out maybe.
