Shipping alcohol to Alberta
A producer in another province can ship to you in Alberta once it has been approved by AGLC — and you must be 18 or older to receive it. What is allowed, and since when, varies by province; here is what is on the record.

Out-of-province manufacturers could begin the AGLC approval process on 21 July 2026. Manufacturers must wait for formal authorization from AGLC before selling direct to Alberta consumers, and approved manufacturers submit a monthly report tracking shipments. AGLC collects the fees associated with direct-to-consumer sales, including an administrative fee, GST, and container and recycling amounts — this is not a percentage of retail price, so no remittance rate is asserted here. Alberta has also extended its separate direct-to-consumer wine agreement with British Columbia. AGLC publishes a dated participants list, but as of 24 July 2026 that PDF contains 93 entries under a single heading, "Name of the BC Winery" — it is the BC wine programme roster, not yet a multi-province participants list.

Questions
Is it legal to ship alcohol to Alberta?
Yes, within limits. Alberta is one of nine provinces in the July 2026 agreement, so a Canadian producer approved by AGLC may ship directly to a Alberta resident of legal drinking age, for personal use. The producer must hold that approval first.
How old do I have to be to receive alcohol in Alberta?
18. The destination province's drinking age applies, not the producer's.
Who regulates this in Alberta?
AGLC. Producers must be authorized by AGLC before shipping into Alberta, and it is the authority to check with if you are unsure about a specific order.
