Mar 27, 2012 6
(Canada) - As Canadians look forward to enjoying warmer weather on the patio, more adults may be reaching for a glass of wine instead of beer, a report released Monday suggests.
While beer remains king in Canada, a Statistics Canada report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, says wine sales are on the rise.
Beer and liquor store agencies sold $20.3 billion worth of alcohol during the fiscal year — up two per cent from the previous year, according to the Statistics Canada data.
