Vintages is the premium wine, spirits and beer division of the LCBO. Each month, Vintages releases limited quantities of the world's finest alcoholic beverages. Since the Beer Store focuses on mass-distributed beers, many of the world's best beers would be overlooked and never reach the palates of Ontario beer connoisseurs if it were not for Vintages. Obviously, the focus of Vintages is on wine and spirits, but each month Vintages usually releases a handful of great beers, that usually vanish pretty fast. All Vintages beer releases are reported in the Bartowel.com News section.

There are three levels of Vintages outlets: Stores, Boutiques, and Corners. Stores feature 120-175 new products (wine, spirits and beer combined) each month, Boutiques offer 80-110 new products, and Corners offer 25-70+ new products. Usually, the beer releases are distributed to all the Stores, Boutiques and Corners, but the quantities are quite small in the Corners. The Stores and the Boutiques are the best locations to find the very unique, hard-to-find and usually delicious beers that Vintages provides to Ontario beer drinkers.
