To grow grapes in Ontario is not an easy job. The climate and weather can present challenges that test a grower’s skill and patience. This past year has been especially trying as growers had to deal with the normal business challenges while needing to keep your families and employees safe during a pandemic. The pandemic has made your jobs more difficult and has added additional stresses to your lives. I am so very impressed that while dealing with these challenges, growers managed to produce what I understand was a banner year’s harvest with excellent quality. I am very pleased that the provincial government continues to have an excellent relationship with the Grape Growers of Ontario. By working together, I know that the province’s grape producers will continue to innovate and grow your sector and your local and provincial economies. At OMAFRA, we are committed to the success of Ontario’s agri-food sector and take great pride in your accomplishments. Thank you all for your dedication and I wish you all great success in the coming year. Sincerely, Honourable Ernie Hardeman Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs GREETINGS FROM THE HONOURABLE MARIE-CLAUDE BIBEAU Thanks to our innovative farm families, Ontario’s grape sector is among the best in the world. I am immensely proud of the successes that grape growers continue to achieve. This past year has been a challenging one. The Grape Growers of Ontario extended their generosity early in 2020 with a substantial donation toward the purchase of a ventilator and personal protective equipment for health workers, which showed how much our farm families care for their communities. To help producers weather the challenges of the pandemic, our government listened and acted fast. We have directed almost $85 million to defray the costs of worker quarantine for the 2020–21 growing season and $11.6 million to help Ontario producers install equipment to keep their workers safe. As always, you have your eye on the future. The Government of Canada shares your vision for a strong and sustainable sector. We are proud to support exciting climate-action innovations, such as 35 new state-of-the-art weather stations, to help growers respond to a changing environment and further assist vineyards in ensuring the long-term viability of the Canadian grape and wine sector through the Canadian Grapevine Certification Network. These actions complement our national agri-environmental strategy, through which over $350 million will be allocated to programs that will help equip producers with the latest technologies and practices. Finally, we are supporting the participation of women, youth, Indigenous peoples, and other underrepresented groups in Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sector. I am encouraged to see more women follow the example of your Chief Executive Officer, Debbie Zimmerman, in taking a seat at the leadership table. Canadians take great pride in our delicious grapes and wines. Let’s continue working together to bring the Ontario grape and wine industry to new heights. Hon. Marie-Claude Bibeau, PC, MP Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food 57 GREETINGS FROM SAM OOSTERHOFF Niagara West is home to some of Ontario’s finest wines and grape growers, and I have had the privilege of working with many representatives of the industry in my riding. It has been a pleasure collaborating with them to strengthen Ontario’s grape and wine industry. I want to thank you for your hard work and community spirit as we have faced the challenges of COVID-19 together. I know this has been an extremely challenging and difficult year, and the sacrifices of our local growers and producers have been truly unprecedented. Our government has provided a number of supports for the local grape and wine industry, including enacting pandemic provisions for takeout and delivery of wine, increasing choice and convenience for consumers by working to expand made-in-Ontario options at the LCBO, extending the Ontario Wine and Grape Strategy to 2021- 22, providing $7.5 million annually for VQA Support, $4.8 million annually for marketing and promotion, $250,000 for research and $250,000 for benchmarking and continuing to support the Marketing and Vineyard Improvement Program. Thank you for all the work you do to promote and expand grape growing in our province. The wine and grape sector contributes $515 million to Ontario’s GDP and supports more than 9,000 direct jobs. Grape production from almost 500 Ontario growers is used to make award-winning VQA wines, which had $370 million in VQA sales for the 12 months ending October 10, 2020. Our government is committed to being a strong partner of the Grape and Wine Industry as we seek to rebuild and recover from COVID-19. I look forward to continue working with the Grape Growers of Ontario, and bring greetings for a fruitful 2021! In your service, Sam Oosterhoff, MPP Niagara West 8 2019-2021GRAPE KING JOHN FEDORKOW The selection of a Grape King is part of Ontario’s grape growing history and an annual tradition that dates back to 1956. The title of Grape King carries the distinction of being chosen based on vineyard management and knowledge of the industry, and in ‘normal’ years serves as a representative for Ontario’s grape and wine industry at events across the country. With COVID-19 restrictions in place since March 2020 and the pause in activities, John had very limited opportunity to fully experience the role he was selected for. In September 2020, John graciously accepted the Board of Director’s request to extend his tenure as Grape King for the year 2020/2021. John Fedorkow was born and raised on a mixed tender fruit farm in St. David’s, and graduated from the University of Guelph in 1980 with a Bachelor of Science in Agriculture. John briefly left the area to sell crop protection for four years, two in Alberta and two back in Ontario, but following his desire to return to Niagara he purchased Fruithaven Farms in 1984 not far from where he grew up. The farm was planted with Labrusca grapes which were removed and replaced with tender fruit and berries, including strawberries, raspberries, apples, cling peaches, pears and plums. A Pick-Your-Own operation that gave school tours in the fall was developed.

  • Canadian Blended Wine Industry and Labelling Overview January 2017 There Are Two Types of Wines Primarily Produced in Canada
    Canadian Blended Wine Industry and Labelling Overview January 2017 There are two types of wines primarily produced in Canada: 100% Canadian (includes VQA and BC VQA) and International Canadian Blends. Together, they contribute an annual economic impact of $6.8 billion ($3.7B for 100% Canadian and $3.1B for blended wines). Blended wines are an important part of the Canadian wine industry, supporting over 10,000 jobs (direct and indirect) and purchasing more than 15,000 tonnes of Canadian grapes annually. International Canadian Blended (ICB) wines use the label “Cellared in Canada by (naming the company), (address) from imported and/or domestic wines” label designation must include domestic content to meet federal labelling requirements to ensure the label is not false, misleading or deceptive. Ontario regulations require that blended wines produced and sold in the province, contain a minimum 25% Ontario grape content. ICB wines are sold domestically to compete against imported wines in the value price category. For example, the LCBO reports that the average price of an ICB wine is $7.54, compared $13.25 for a VQA wine and $31.56 for a VQA wine in its specialty section, VINTAGES. Canada has a long history of blending domestic and imported wines. We are not unique, as blended wines are produced around the world, including major wine producing countries like Europe and the United States. Labelling of Wine in Canada Canada’s Food and Drug Act Regulations require wine labels to include “a clear indication of the country of origin,” while beer, spirits and all other food products can voluntarily indicate country of origin on the label.
