The SAQ did not answer a question on how many products were bought or how many customers took advantage of the reduced prices.
The provincial Crown corporation in charge of liquor sales in Quebec says a computer issue resulted in all its products being temporarily listed at 30-per-cent off on its website.
Société des alcools du Québec spokesperson Laurianne Tardif confirmed the accidental sale happened between midnight and 8:30 a.m. on Saturday.
She says the SAQ was able to fix the issue shortly after it was reported.
An analysis is currently underway to determine what happened, but Tardif says the issue was a programming error and not an external virus or hack.
The SAQ did not answer a question on how many products were bought during the eight-and-a-half hour window, or how many customers took advantage of the reduced prices.
