Howdy!

I recently had these (short) conversations on Twitter:

and

Which led to this conversation, by email:

Howdy!

I don’t know where you got your figures from, but according to the SAQ
website there are currently 954 wines under $15 available.
http://www.saq.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchDisplay?searchType=&orderBy=&categoryIdentifier=06&showOnly=product&langId=&beginIndex=0&tri=&metaData=YWRpX2YxOjA8TVRAU1A%2BcHJpY2VfQ0FEOih7KiAxNC45OX0gMTQuOTkp&pageSize=20&pageView=&catalogId=50000&searchTerm=*&sensTri=&facet=price_CAD%253A%2528%257B*%2B14.99%257D%2B14.99%2529&storeId=20002

I also count 112 wines that are less than $10.

All of which would lead me to question your 2009 figures as well.

Certains vins ne sont pas disponibles en succursales, seulement sur le Web.

Howdy!

Again, according to their online database, they are out of stock on 68
and there are currently 886 available in outlets, and of the 280 that
are available on line, 100% are available in outlets.

Your facts are wrong.

Sorry buddy, the numbers came directly from SAQ. You’re lost !

Howdy!

In your article you write: “Les données compilées par M. Gagnon…”
Does he work for the SAQ? and if he does, why do you write “le
chroniqueur en vin et éditeur du magazine Webvinquebec.com, Marc André
Gagnon.” Instead of something like SAQ VP of Database Marc André
Gagnon?

Click on the link to the SAQ’s website that I sent you. The numbers do
not correspond.

Il faut calculer seulement les bouteilles de vins de 750 ml. Pas les
formats de 250 ml, de 500 ml, d’un litre et le 1,5 litre.

Dude, it’s the 3rd different excuse you’ve tried. Your credibility is shot.

I’m not quite certain what to make of it, although now, there are 945 wines available at the SAQ that are under $15. Of those 774 are in 750ml containers.
