Ontario Wines to Be Sold at Farmers’ Markets

0

TORONTO — Ontario wines will be available at farmers’ markets across the province, thanks to a $75-million Wine and Grape Strategy.

“I’m committed to supporting this innovative industry, and I encourage consumers to choose Ontario wines first as they share them with family and friends this holiday season and throughout the year. They’re local, they’re good for our economy, and they support good jobs,” said Premier Kathleen Wynn, who is also the agriculture and food minister.

Launched in 2009, the Wine and Grape Strategy was designed to support local wineries as the program would: allow VQA wines to be sold at farmers’s markets, establish an Ontario Wine Fund to support key winery and vineyard investments, and create a Wine Secretariat to be a point for discussions between the province and industry.
