B.C. wine sales flat despite ban on U.S. imports

 

Buyers gravitate toward wines from France, Argentina and New Zealand

Instead, countries such as France, Argentina and New Zealand are the ones seeing resellers buy substantially more of their wine even as overall wine wholesales in the province are relatively flat.

 

 

 

 

Guignard also said he believes that the BCLDB has allocated more of the shelf space that previously held U.S. wines to foreign countries as opposed to wines from B.C.

"They're responding by trying to sell more cheap imported wine, which they can make a larger margin on," he said.

The BCLDB denies this.

How come you can smoke weed in public but you can't drink a beer?

 

The beer is a lot less impactful to the surrounding area, weed stinks up a huge area.

 

We were following a truck up a road the other day, the driver was smoking weed and the stench filled our car.

 

I'm aware it is illegal to smoke weed in a vehicle.

Couldn’t agree more. There are few things I dislike more than taking kids for a walk and encountering someone smoking weed on the sidewalk. It reeks and I really don’t want my toddler inhaling any of it.

Yeah, it’s gross.
