Don't know about liquor in Canada generally, but they have a pretty impressive selection of beers and, especially, wines, here in Quebec's COSTCOs
Not here in Ontario. Best we can do is wine making kits. There are limited licences to sell beer in grocery stores but to the best of my knowledge Costco here hasn't applied.
There was talk last year of Costco expanding it's liquor service to Saskatchewan but I don't know if that has actually happened. Based on the Costco Canada Liquor website it hasn't.
I know Quebec has generally a more permissive system and to a large extent, the Ford government sees the Quebec model as the one it wants to head towards. We still have a limitation to some extent from a very one-sided, ten-year agreement that the previous provincial Liberal government signed with the Beer Store in 2015 that continued a near monopoly that the Beer Store has/had over the sale of beer in the province (Liquor is even more tightly controlled through the LCBO). With luck we'll get there some day. One thing about the Ford system of allowing beer through grocery stores is that the variety of craft beers has really taken off here.
