Canada has plenty to be proud of with respect to its rapidly developing and vibrant wine industry.

In reaction to Diageo's latest moves, Ontario takes Crown Royal off province shelves.

The research was led by Danielle Gallina, who conceptualized and conducted the study while she was an undergraduate geography student at UBC Okanagan under the supervision of Dr. Jonathan Cinnamon. The study examined 141 images drawn from the websites of 16 Okanagan wineries. Gallina says these choices are not accidental. "The Okanagan wine industry uses imagery to tie taste to place," she explains. "These visuals don't just sell wine--they help construct a shared idea of what the Okanagan is supposed to look and feel like."

Four Canadian provinces are selling off the American liquor they pulled from shelves in protest over President Trump's tariffs. Some bourbon drinkers are thrilled.

The Ontario Liberal Party is calling on the Ford government to sell off millions of dollars worth of U.S.-made liquor that could expire in storage and donate the proceeds to food banks, but the province says it is still exploring options for the products.

Only two Canadian provinces -- Alberta and Saskatchewan -- are still selling US booze. Manitoba and Nova Scotia said last week they will sell their remaining inventory and donate proceeds to local charities. Others, including Ontario, have not said what they plan to do.

To survive climate change, Canadian winemakers must break from tradition.

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.

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.
