Canada: Let the wine flow
Canada: Let the wine flow

(Theglobeandmail) - MPs have reached all-party support on an issue – a rare political feat in Ottawa. This is to be applauded, particularly as it will yield better access to good Canadian wine.
Though hard to believe, Canada has a Prohibition-era law that makes it illegal for individuals to take wine into another province without going through their liquor control board. Someone from Ontario can ship home a case of Californian shiraz after touring the vineyards, but it is illegal to do the same after tasting merlot in Kelowna.
