Canada's winemakers want more access to consumers, saying strict controls on the distribution of liquor are hindering the industry's development.
The country's liquor laws are a hangover from the prohibition era and regulate all aspects of wine production. The 1928 federal Importation of Intoxicating Liquors Act gives provincial control boards monopoly power over the import, shipment, distribution and retailing of wine in Canada.
