Ontario -- The winegrape negotiations completed July 8 by the Grape Growers of Ontario, Wine Council of Ontario and the Winery & Grower Alliance of Ontario resulted in a groundbreaking two-year pricing agreement for most hybrid and vinifera winegrape varieties. White varieties will increase by 1% each year, while red varieties will remain stable at 2009 prices.The negotiators made news in three ways: They set prices for two years at once, they included the new Winery & Grower Alliance of Ontario for the first time, and they created a pilot program that allows wineries to buy low-sugar grapes at discounted prices from a few varieties that are in surplus.
