In September, L'Abattoir, an upscale restaurant in Vancouver, British Columbia, had a problem: It was running out of French Muscat wine, the perfect pairing for the scallop crudo on the tasting menu.

Industry has been talking about this 'for years,' not weeks, says CEO of WineBC

The maker of Sour Puss liquor is shifting production from Minnesota to Quebec in what one trade expert calls a small but meaningful win for Canada in its ongoing trade dispute with the United States.

In the second quarter of 2025, U.S. wine sales in Canada fell 91 per cent, according to the California-based Wine Institute. "It's unprecedented," says Karl Coutinho, president of Wine Growers Nova Scotia. "None of us like the tariff talk, but the reality is we've got a silver lining. Here's an opportunity for the province of Nova Scotia and the Nova Scotia Liqour Commission to really get behind local."

The SAQ wishes to reassure its customers: all SAQ stores remain open and ready to welcome clients across Quebec. The SAQ.COM transactional website is also operating normally. A contingency plan has been implemented to ensure continued operations.

Judge finds the Chinese buyers, who rushed the sale to supply an overseas market, were the 'authors of their own misfortune'

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday the United States and Canada will not restart trade talks but Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney apologized to him for an Ontario political ad using former President Ronald Reagan saying tariffs spell disaster.

In B.C.'s south Okanagan region, some wine grape growers are struggling to find buyers for their fruit, during a year many were hoping to make a solid profit after devastating crop loss in recent years. After two years of severe winter damage, vineyards across the region produced strong yields this season. But some farmers say a provincial program that allows wineries to import grapes from the United States is crowding the market and leaving them with grapes they can't sell.

The Ontario government is aggressively withholding key details about its large stockpile of American alcohol products, valued at approximately $79.1 million at cost, that were pulled from store shelves as an act of retaliation in the ongoing Canada-U.S. trade dispute.

Legal loophole/tax-avoidance scheme hurts California growers. California, Washington and Oregon are out of the wine business in Canada. They were taken off the shelves because of President Trump's trade war. Yet becuase of a series of past trade agreements, more than fifty million gallons of quote, "Canadian wine" is shipped into the U.S. each year that isn't made with grapes -- it's made with grain alcohol at a cost of $1.08 a gallon.
