Be it to celebrate, or to cool down on a hot summer day, Canadians historically favored beer. But that trend has changed over the last few decades and the canadian wine market is in constant expansion. Of course, the tradition of canadian wine making goes back to the first settlers, but commercial success came about no more than 30 years ago and over the 90's alone the number of commercial vineyards increased tremendously. The most recent canadian wine lists show enough diversity to appeal to the most demanding customers and the availability of canadian wine online broadened the range of prospective buyers. In the 80's the growing popularity of the Icewines boosted our exports and led to the emergence of a variety of deriving products such as the canadian ice wine tea . Pinpointing the best vineyard in Canada or the best canadian red wine will always remain a matter of taste, but for the curious mind there are several canadian wine books available on the net, and fortunately, canadian wine prices are, for the most part, reasonable enough for all of us to try and make up our mind.
