Insights:
The Niagara Peninsula is Canada’s most important wine region, part of Ontario and bordering to New York State. Ontario produces 75% of Canada’s wine. The industry is relatively young and ice wine is also a major feature, with some red versions as well these days. The Niagara Peninsula is subdivided in another 10 sub-appellations, all with their own characters. On the other side of Canada, in British Columbia, the wine industry is catching up fast.
