Shaw Department of Geography & Cool climate Enology and Viticulture Institute Brock University, Ontario Canada 1 Statistics On Canadian Wine Industry • Over $9 billion contribution annually to the Canadian economy • Over 37, 000 employed • Over 30,000 acres in production • Over 671 wineries • More than 3.7 million visitors annually • Over 30% wine sales • Source: Canadian Vintners Association 2017 Climate and Wine Production • Climate is the primary determining factor in the distribution of wine areas around the world and the grape cultivars most suited to an area along with the wine quality, yield and viticultural practices. • This fact makes wine production extremely sensitive to changes in weather and climate 3 Climate Change • Three characteristics of climate change in Canada that pose risks to wine production: • Temperature Variability (annual and seasonal) • Occurrences of extreme weather events, such as high precipitation, cold and hot temperatures • The gradual warming in the regional climates that could affect established cultivars and wine quality 5 GDDs 1000 1100 1200 1300 600 700 800 900 ) 1970 1971 1972 Evolution 1973 1974 1975 Noir Pinot , ,Chardonnay Riesling Vidal, Baco Seyval Lucie L’Acadie De 1976 1977 Chaunac 1978 Noir, Kuhlmann 1979 ( Climate Wine of Scotia's Nova Blanc 1980 , 1981 Marechal 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 Foch 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 1994 REGION 1 REGION 1995 1996 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 Greenwood) 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 6 2012 2013 2014 GDDs 1000 1100 1200 1300 1400 1500 800 900 Evolution of Winkler Index for Granby, of Winkler Evolution 1970 1972 Vidal, Vidal, De Croix,Ste.

Most studies on adaptive strategies consider implementation based on past experiences • Examples of adaptation based on long-term future projections are rare • Move from reactive to anticipatory adaptive strategies • Anticipatory adaptive strategies present many challenges. Reactive Strategies 30 Diversify the Number of Cultivars and Growing Areas • Expand the range of commercial varieties based on suitable climatic and soils factors • Move into New Areas with suitable soil types and climates following assessment of local environmental and socio-economic factors Implement Active and Passive Freeze Protection Methods • Most wine regions have a range of protective measures, such as wind machines, choice of cold-hardy varieties, canopy management and vine pruning techniques Hedging Winter Injury and Vintage Variations • Consider Index-based Insurance Policies to hedge winter and growing season risks • Government sponsored mitigation and adaptation policies and programs • Active and passive freeze protection strategies (wind machines, cold-resistant varieties, vine alert monitoring systems and training systems Blending • Blending the same varieties or different varieties from several climatic areas or vineyards to reduce vintage variations and to create unique sensory attributes and consistency in quality and style Monitoring Systems • Development of a Micro-climate Monitoring System to assess evolution of established areas and to identify new areas • Should include real time and archived data of key climatic parameters and indices for long-term analysis • Monitoring various stages of plant phenology, fruit maturation and harvest relative to climatic evolution of the wine areas Climate Change • Long-Term Adaptation Strategies Through Institutional Support • • Develop cold-resistant varieties to accommodate cycles of freeze and thaw and higher chilling requirements • Develop disease-resistant varieties • Develop Climate High Resolution Prediction Models for analysis at smaller spatial scales Climate Change Conclusions • Potential benefits are not clearly evident • The changes may be imperceptible to most people • More controversial, are the uncertainties • Even more controversial: What strategies should we adopt over the long-term?

  • 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.

  • A Nova Scotia Story Tom Robinson (From the 'Grapevine')
    A Nova Scotia Story Tom Robinson (from the 'Grapevine') The 2008 AWC National will be held in Nova Scotia, a province we know little about except that it's over 3000 miles away. The best wines from B.C. and the rest of Canada will be sent there in August for judging. There are two clubs in the AWNS, The Annapolis Valley Vintners and the Halifax Dartmouth Wine Club. Alan Baker of Wolfville is Chairman of the National, John Starr from Wolfville is the Chief Steward, and the Nova Scotia National Director is Marta Milhoff who lives in Musquodoboit Harbour . What else I know of Nova Scotia I remember from WW2 when they sent me there to be trained and to train others for overseas service. It was a culture shock. I was living in history. Firstly, in an old red brick building on Citadel Hill, a great stone fortress that's guarded Halifax from attack for centuries. Then a trip across the harbour to Dartmouth and Eastern Passage where my Bofors anti-aircraft gun shared ferry space with an ox and cart. I was to see many of these huge bovines during the two years I spent waiting for a troop ship. If you go to Nova Scotia this summer you wont see the oxen nor the ferry nor the old red brick building. A bridge has replaced the ferry. On a BCAA fall foliage tour in 1996 I could not find that old brick building. No one at the guard-house had ever seen it. During the war I was told that it should not have been there in the first place.
