Nova Scotians who feature been missing their favourite ca cabernet sauvignon or tennessee river whisky testament soon have a chance to stock up.
The provincial government has announced it will sell off its remaining inventory of U.S. Alcohol — roughly $14 million worth.
The net profits — about $4 million — will be given to Feed Nova Scotia and other community food groups, a news release said.
Nova Scotia pulled all U.S. Alcohol products from NSLC shelves on March 4 in response to tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
Premier Tim Houston said the province will not be ordering any more from the U.S. Once the inventory is sold off.
“We remain committed to a Team Canada approach to tariffs and trade," Houston said in the release.
“Nova Scotians have already paid for this product. We don’t want it to go to waste. That’s why we’re selling it and using the proceeds to help those in need.”
The inventory consists mainly of wine and spirits such as whisky. It will be available at NSLC locations across the province starting Monday, and will likely take several months to sell, the release said.
It said $4 million is the estimated amount the NSLC would return to the province once the product is sold and expenses are calculated. That amount will be given in the coming weeks to Feed Nova Scotia and groups that provide community food access.
Some provinces and territories, including New Brunswick, British Columbia and the Yukon, have sold their remaining American alcohol, the release said.
