Canada: In the vineyard, fermenting dissent
Canada: In the vineyard, fermenting dissent

A growing fight in Ontario’s wine industry is reigniting calls to overhaul the province’s alcohol system.
The government is close to unveiling a plan to invest millions in the region’s wine industry, in an effort to produce a higher-quality grape harvest. The program will match up to $12-million of contributions by growers over four years, sources say.
But what growers and vintners really want is more shelf space at the liquor store – and they argue that won’t happen as long as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario (LCBO) continues to provide limited shelf space for their products.
