We Are Better Together

B.C. wine is no longer just a regional niche—it's a premium-driven, home-grown market where consumers are buying fewer bottles, but better ones, and increasingly choosing local. It remains to be seen what lobbying against and heavily taxing the import wine business, while protecting local producers, will do for the future of B.C. wine. At some point, if we continue to diminish the value of the import sector, we could end up with a market built on protection rather than competition, which is always bad for wine. We look forward to highlighting the best wines in the market, no matter their source. After that, it’s up to you to decide what to drink. Enjoy the summer.
