It is often a challenge to distinguish the local from not so local when it comes to Ontario wines. The tell tale sign sadly is typically price.

In Ontario, the situation is different: 70% foreign, and as little as 10% Canadian (the other 20% may be water). In Apr. 2010, it’s changing to 60% foreign (only due to pressure due to a surplus of Canadian grapes). Starting in 2014, Ontario will also have “Cellared in Canada” wine with no Canadian content.

Many people are only interested in the cheaper prices that this practice allows, but many others have no awareness of it, even when they are committed to buying local product.

I think it is important to know the difference and be able to make a properly informed decision about the wines you drink.
If I want to drink a Canadian wine, I would want it to be 100% Canadian. Same goes for any other wine region around the globe.
