Editor's Notes
- So how old is our wine industry?If you recall, the clip mentioned that the wine industry in Europe is much older than ours
- our commercial wine industry began in 1866, at vin villa which is located on Pelee Island\r\n\r\nIt really began to take shape in around the 1970's with the production of wines like baby duck
- There are 2 provinces that account for the majority of Canada's wine productionBritish Columbia is home to about 11,000 acres of vineyardsThere are 5 DVA's, these are official wine growing regionsokanagan valleysimilkameen valleyfraser valleygulf islandsvancouver islands
- Ontario produces the majority of Canadian wines, and is home to around 20,000 acres of vinesthere are 4 DVA's hereniagara peninsula (which is the largest)pelee islandlake erie north shoreprince edwrad country (which is the newest)
- There is wine production i the atlantic provinces, however it is quite smalljust remember we do carry a few wines from atlantic canada,
- canada has a variety of microclimates and geographical features that impact how grapes grow and mature in the vineyardsAs a result the selection of styles and weights of wines vary greatly
- although the niagara region is quite condensed it has various micro-climates. these micro clomates that led way for the niagara to create sub-appellations\r\n\r\nif asked they are areas within niagara that have varied soils and climatic conditons, the sub appellations now give those areas a specific name\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- If you look on our shelves your will see that canadian wines can have different labels, there are 2 main onescellared in canada or bottled in canadameans thatthe wine is made from a blend of imported and canadian grapes or juicetake notice that these wines are value priced and very popular
- As you can see by this chart many consumers are not aware of what cellared in canada or bottled and blended means

- vinification is anything that is done inside the wineryvery simply the process of making and possibly aging the wine
