WHAT'S HAPPENING ON CITIFIED VICTORIA
Yes, different strains. And I’m sure Niagara has its fair share of failures, but Ontario generally complains less about weather extremes. BC is very dainty in the regard. Every time the weather doesn’t cooperate we take it extremely personally.

I'm not sure Niagara gets the rapid temperature swings that the Okanagan has had the last couple years. I don't think its so much the -20 temps as it is the swing from +10 to -20 that causes crop loss.
My understanding is the other fruit markets are severely impacted as well this year - apples, peaches etc.

Yes, the warnings are already coming in. Expect higher prices and poorer selection across the board this summer and fall.

I have come to expect this after 9 years under the Trudeau Liberals.

At least it’s predictable.

Jimmy Pattison wants more money and is concerned about the lack of B.C. wine available this coming vintage and beyond so has asked the holders of his in store liquors licenses to ask the liquor branch to allow them sell a wider range of products.
These licenses are a special class called “special wine store” licenses and there are no more to be made.
There are 33 of these licenses made, and 20 of these are owned by the Wine Growers of B.C., allowing them to sell only VQA wine. Generally these licenses are allowed to sell only wine, cider, mead and sake. These 20 owned by the wine growers are in Save on Foods stores. About 65% of the fees (funding dollars) to this org are from the massive B.C. wine producers, who may sell VQA wines but even more blended cellared in Canada wine.
These licenses were created specifically to promote B.C.’s wine and agriculture industry, but under these new guidelines the mega producers and Pattison come out on top.
From our friends at ABLE BC.
“While we of course support BC’s wineries and grape growers, private liquor retailers worry this is the “thin edge of the wedge” industry has warned about for years. As ABLE BC’s President, Yvan Charette, put it during last week’s LRS Policy Committee meeting, “How does helping a billionaire’s grocery chain sell cheap Canadian and international wine support BC’s wine industry?”
