This year will be an "outstanding" year for wine in Canada's biggest wine producing regions, according to some of the country's top producers.
John E. Peller, President and CEO, Andrew Peller Limited, Gordon Fitzpatrick, President, Cedar Creek Estate Winery, Norm Beal, President, Peninsula Ridge Estates Winery, joined David Rinneard, National Manager, Agriculture, BMO Bank of Montreal today in a roundtable discussion and outlook for Canada's wine industry.
"In 2010, revenue from wine sales were nearly $900 million. Canadian producers are looking to own their backyard, and capitalize on growing opportunities in China," said David Rinneard.
"Despite a challenging market, Canadian vintners continue to win over consumers with high quality, distinctive wines at competitive prices. Wineries output has grown at an average annual rate of 7.6 per cent since 1998, much faster than the overall beverage sector at 1 per cent. Going forward we anticipate that Canadian wineries will continue to maintain their position in Canada while showcasing their quality products in new markets," added Rinneard.
