I recall reading / hearing somewhere that the LCBO was mainly carrying VBase as a "summer" cooler beverage, so perhaps that might explain its hiatus and perhaps it may return come May-June.
The non-alcoholic version still appears to be around anyway, at least if the Company's website is still current:

it's an energy drink yet the site's music makes me want to sleep.
I don't get it...

im willing to bet its still available but the LCBO doesnt have it. Basically since the LCBO is the only place in Ontario that can sell booze, if they decide to delete it from the store then you are SOL.
I think this could be used as a very good case as to why we should allow private booze sales.

The response from the company:
"Hi Nathalie,
I’m sorry to inform you that Vbase will not be available this summer.
Vbase was a joint venture with Labatt Canada and they decided not to go ahead with Vbase this year.
You can always add Vodka to a regular BASE, you will get the same results. You can find BASE @ 7 Eleven’s.
Cheers, Ugo"

Possibly because it sucked.
