Cellared In Canada Controversy

There has been lots of discussion recently about Cellared In Canada (CIC) wines. If you don’t know, there is a common international practice of making wine by mixing imported wine from different countries. In Canada there is some controversy around our current labeling standards and the potential for consumers to be confused between wines that are ‘Cellared’ In Canada (mainly foreign wine) and wines made with 100% Canadian grapes (VQA). In keeping with our mission of providing consumers with the most objective information possible, we have created a new Cellared In Canada region and have re-classified all CIC wines from Ontario and British Columbia in this new region. Wines classified as CIC will no longer be presented when you are searching for wines from Canada, Ontario, or BC.
