In 1918, Canada introduced a federal prohibition law, banning alcohol production and imports, but with loopholes for 'medically prescribed' alcohol.

The 18th Amendment introduced prohibition in the U.S. in 1920, leading to economic disruption and job losses. Canada benefitted from legal alcohol sales, attracting American tourists.

Ontario ended prohibition in 1927, establishing the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) to manage legal alcohol sales, transitioning from control to marketing.

The first LCBO stores were designed to be unappealing, with a bank-like appearance and clerks behind wire grills, to discourage alcohol consumption.

The LCBO focused on social responsibility, equating good service with maintaining public sobriety rather than high sales, to reduce alcohol abuse.

Customers had to obtain permits to buy alcohol, which were reviewed by LCBO employees to ensure they were 'moral' enough.

New consumers, less influenced by tradition, preferred affordable, easy-to-drink wines, favoring New World producers who could provide consistent, large-scale supplies.
