Canada: B.C. versus Ontario: Who has the better wine?

(GlobalRegina) - A unanimous vote by MPs has moved the country closer to wiping out a prohibition-era law that makes it illegal to carry a bottle of Canadian wine across a provincial boundary.
The vote on Bill C-311, a private member’s bill introduced by Okanagan-Coquihalla Conservative MP Dan Albas, received unanimous support on third reading late Wednesday night. The legislation now goes to the Senate.
Supporters of the bill, including national wine experts Natalie MacLean, editor of Canada’s largest wine site at www.nataliemaclean.com, Kurtis Kolt, a B.C. wine consultant from kurtiskolt.com and Norman Hardie from Norman Hardie winery in Prince Edward County, Ont., say the news is fantastic for winemakers and wineries.
