I think they are very different stores. I would guess less than 5% of the inventory of Liquor Depot is available at Wine Ink. One sells mainstream products, and the other sells more niche products. If Wine Ink was trying to stop Liquor Depot with the same rationale, I would think that they were in the wrong too.
The funny thing, is that the only liquor store within 300 metres of Wine Ink is The Wine Shop. They haven't weighed in officially as far as I know. But I would put them as a very direct competitor to Wine Ink with similar clientele.
