The word “unprecedented” has been used a few times in the last week. The Covid-19 outbreak around the world is changing lives and we have to adapt our routine, work, social interaction, and shopping behaviour. This means everyone has to keep things moving creatively and the hospitality industry is no different.
Restaurants, bars and BC wineries had to find ways to serve their customers without the human interaction to maintain the important social distancing measures set by our government. Curbside pick-up, delivery services, and coupons are some of the offerings you’ll see available while we all need to stay home to help flatten the curve.
We’ve compiled some of the best deals in BC Wine available right now:

This is a very delicate time for everyone. Remember to stay home, and check-in with loved ones. If you can, please help support local businesses as they are struggling to keep going at this time, so buy local wine, order gourmet food online, call your favourite small restaurant to order take out, and try to take things one at a time. We will get through this. Stay Safe!
