Canadian wine is wine produced in Canada. Ontario and British Columbia are the two largest wine-producing provinces in Canada, with two-thirds of Canada's vineyard acreage situated in Ontario.[1] However, wine producing regions are also present in other provinces, including Alberta, Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
In 2015, Canada produced 56.2 million litres of wine, with 62 per cent of that total originating from Ontario. The second largest wine-producing province, British Columbia, constitutes 33 per cent of Canada's wine production.[2] Between 2006 and 2011, 68 per cent of Canadian wine exports came from Ontario-based wineries; with 14 per cent of exports originating from British Columbia, 12 per cent from Quebec, and six per cent from Alberta.[1]
Ice wine can be produced reliably in most Canadian wine-producing regions. As a result, Canada is the world's leading icewine producer, with more icewine produced in Canada than all other countries combined.[1] More than 90 per cent of Canadian icewines originates from Ontario,[3] although the product is also produced in British Columbia, Quebec, and Nova Scotia.[1] In addition to standard grape wines, and icewines, the country is also home to several fruit wineries and meaderies, found in provinces such as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, whose local climate is not favourable for grape production.[4]
