REGULATION Icewine production is regulated in Ontario under the VQA Act and regulations. Strict standards are monitored by VQA inspectors, from vineyard to the bottle. Rules cover grape varieties, harvest procedures, winemaking, and testing before the wine is released. No wine may use the term “Icewine” on its label unless it is certified by VQA Ontario.

Their passion for winemaking matches my passion for music. More importantly, 100% of my royalties from the sale of this wine, go directly to The Celine Dion Foundation, our non-profit organization supporting a variety of worthy causes with emphasis on helping children in need” – Celine Dion Our vast Canadian landscape is renowned for its spectacular scenery, year round. At quick glance many forests often tend to blend together except, of course, for that one crooked pine tree that catches your eye. It stands out, uniquely from the rest. The same runs true to these wines; they are crafted to be exceptional, unforgettable and truly Canadian in standing out from the rest. Dan Aykroyd first developed his love of fine wine while working on Saturday Night Live and the first Blues Brothers movie. Dan is convinced from his travels that Canada makes some of the best wines in the world and his wines are a reflection of that belief. The EastDell logo depicts the blue heron, which has a natural migration path across our vineyards. As a water creature, the heron is a symbol of going with the flow and working with the elements of Mother Nature rather than against her. This is a true testament to our winemaking team’s practices. The essence of FRESH Wines is to deliver unique, fruit- forward blends that will instantly stimulate one’s palate; much like a fresh bouquet of flowers.

  • 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.

  • Canada-EU Free Trade Agreement (CETA)
    Canada-EU Free Trade Agreement (CETA) The Issue: Following 5-years of negotiation, CETA was signed in principle on October 18, 2013, and signed officially by Prime Minister Trudeau on October 29, 2016, and approved by the EU Parliament on February 15, 2017. CETA will provide Canada with preferential market access to both the EU’s 500 million consumers and its annual $17 trillion in economic activity. Background: CETA is estimated to boost Canada’s income by $12 billion annually and bilateral trade by 20 percent. Over the past three years, the agreement went through a full legal review prior to being put to the EU’s 28 national governments, the European Parliament and the federal Cabinet for final approval. the legal text has been “scrubbed” by lawyers to ensure the language properly reflects the intent of the negotiators; the text was translated into all EU official languages; and the agreement is currently in the Canadian Senate prior to formal ratification in mid- 2017. Canada-EU Wine and Spirits Agreement (CEWSA): The Canada-EU Wine and Spirits Agreement (CEWSA) was officially signed in 2004 and will be incorporated as a separate chapter in the CETA agreement. Due to the negotiation of CEWSA, the vast majority of trade issues have been regularly discussed, and most issues negotiated prior to the launch of CETA negotiations, including: Mutual recognition of oenological practices; Protection of Geographical Indications and terms (e.g., Chateau, Clos, Sur lie) Loss of use of common wine names (e.g., Chablis, Champagne, Port, Sherry, etc.) Principles of wine labelling; Wine certification and competent authority; Icewine definition.
