Many Montreal restaurants don't have a license to serve wine, but this is a good thing, because you can bring your own and there's no corkage. Combined with the competitive Montreal restaurant market, it makes for a cheap way to eat and drink very well. Look for restaurants with the sign "Apportez Votre Vin".

Wine can be bought at one of Quebec's SAQ (Societe des Alcools du Quebec) stores or at a depanneur (corner store).

Away from the big streets on the Plateau is good AVV hunting territory. Les Infideles on Rachel (near St Hubert) is a great example, but there are lots of cheaper places too. The closest SAQ is on St Denis just up from Duluth.

Less chic than Marche Atwater, but bigger, cheaper and with much better street food. Shops include the fantastically named "Qui L'ait Cru?" for cheese.
