WHY CANADIAN WINE IS UNDERRATED (AND FINALLY STARTING TO CHANGE)
Canadian wine doesn’t get the attention it deserves.
Most people still think of France, Italy, or California when they think of wine.
Canada usually isn’t part of that conversation.
That’s changing.
What people miss about Canadian wine
Canada has a wide range of wine regions producing very different styles:
-Niagara (Ontario): structured, cool-climate wines
-Prince Edward County: mineral-driven, high acidity wines
-British Columbia: bold, fruit-forward expressions
Most people have never actually explored these properly.
Why it’s overlooked
Canadian wine has historically struggled with:
-limited export visibility
-small production scale
-lack of global marketing
-short growing seasons (which actually creates interesting wines, not worse ones)
But those constraints are also what make it unique.
What makes it exciting now
Canadian wine is in a transition phase.
Producers are:
-getting more precise
-focusing on site expression
-improving quality dramatically
-gaining international recognition
It’s one of the most interesting wine regions to watch right now.
Why this matters in my tastings
At my wine tastings in Toronto, Canadian wine is the centre of everything.
Not as a “local option,” but as a serious category worth understanding on its own.
Most guests leave surprised by how much they didn’t know.
