This summer, I wandered into my neighbourhood liquor and wine store, intent on finding a taste of British Columbia’s famed Okanagan Valley.
I approached the counter and asked the clerk, “Could you show me the BC wine?”
After a polite (very Canadian) half‑second of hesitation, they smiled and steered me toward a shelf proudly labelled “VQA.” There, rows upon rows of Niagara labels stood, with a handful of large Ontario producers monopolizing the space, and a few boutique bottles peeking out like hidden treasures.
But BC? Not a single Okanagan vintage in sight.
It’s an all‑too‑common experience for wine lovers in Ontario. Even though provincial trade restrictions are slated to be lifted, there will be some time before we can get our hands on BC wine in Ontario.
Even when you spot a wine from any region that intrigues you, the label can feel like a cryptic puzzle. The only certainty is that you’ll spend minutes squinting in the aisle, Googling on your phone, or second‑guessing every choice, because the labels offer more mystique than guidance.
